missin' you

ben was in arizona all last week. and no matter how much rivers and i missed him, canberra, without a doubt, missed him the most. 

whenever james (the man who lives upstairs) comes over to do his laundry, canberra goes crazy. she starts off with her threatening bark, and finishes with lots of kisses and plenty of frisbee throws. this past week, however, things were different. . . james came over, ready for a big game of tug-a-war. but when he tried to rile canberra up, she just looked at him and sadly laid down on the porch, looking away lonely like. james kept asking "what's wrong with you? where's my buddy?" then i explained that ben was out of town and james was in awe by how much this dog loves my husband. "that's what it is! she's sad. that's right. little canberra is downright sad. if ben doesn't come home soon, before long, all of you will be moping around! i just won't know what to do with the cute family living downstairs!" 

it's true. we all love that guy. (but canberra wins the prize for missing him the most)
