Billy and His Sister

I put her in her bassinet and whispered to Billy as I walked to the bathroom “Keep an eye on your sister.”

I showered quick and came back to my room where Billy had moved, laying head down looking through the mesh of her bassinet as she dreamt.

I don’t love him less now that I have a baby. I have less patience with his bull shit for sure and I haven’t been cradling him in my arms - but his energy is very much still needed. He calms me when I’m overwhelmed or frustrated.

Livestock dog finally has a baby sister to protect.

He’s the best puppy man.
