Sleepy Puppy

A puppy was left tied to our fence (everybody knows we will take care of animals).  The puppy was about 6 weeks old, as was our first grandchild.    Callie (our puppy/now 6 yrs old) was so very tired from all our fussing and playing, that she was having a horrible time staying awake.  We had her on the blanket with the baby, so my son-in-law could watch both of them.  She fell fast asleep, but it took a few minutes.   My son-in-law filmed it and it ended up going viral on YouTube.   

Here is the link to the video, which will definitely warm your heart!    cool

I like the elbow "hiding" under the pup's chin.  That sets the stage for the cozy feeling here.  A great story about a wonderful experience, Lucy.

Very cute, Lucy.  A lot of mutual warmth between a puppy and a baby.  Nice video as well.

This is Callie today!   It was incredible, that the video went viral...when reports from Russia view were posted, we were flabbergasted.  But, my smart son-in-law had made the YouTube video collect money with every click.  so, our granddaughter now has a college fund started.
