Look how huge he is now. He's 6 months old. ONLY 6 months. Yeah....
The kids love him so much and he loves them too. Now that Spring is finally here {sort of} the kids have been able to go outside and play, and Toby has been eating it up. I'll send the kids out and not long afterwards I will hear hysterical giggles from Landon. Their favorite game to play is "wrestling". Landon will get on his swing and Toby will "knock" him down off of it and they will wrestle around on the ground while Toby licks Landon's face.
Unfortunately, Toby tries to play this game with Mackenzee, but she's far too small to wrestle back. :0) I picked a Golden Retriever because I knew they were good dogs for kids. I'm glad I wasn't wrong on this one. He plays so well with them. Even when Landon is wrestling with him, I see him pretend to nip him on the arm like he's "getting" Landon, but no biting. {thankfully}
Yesterday Landon ran inside and told me I had to come out and take pictures of him with his dog because "Toby loves me so much mom! See, he gives me hugs." Then he proceeded to walk outside and tell Toby to give him a hug. Toby jumped up and actually gave him a hug!

Holy Cow, I can not believe how much he has grown. That is a cute hug, pretty cool.
It DOES look like he is smiling! And he is definitely hugging Landon! That is so amazing.
We used to have a beagle that was so great with our kids. It is so great to have a dog you can trust not to hurt your children even while playing.
He is HUGE
My girls loved these pictures. They cannot wait to see Toby when we come this summer. They want Buster and Toby to get together for a play date!
wow - that's a big dog! Looks fun! Oh, by the way, I LOVE the "come thou font" song - that's a great version!
