TWO dogs??

Two dogs. No we did not get another dog, but there is a slight chance that Olivia thinks that SHE is a dog. I know this sounds a little crazy. I mean what ten month old would think she is a dog? And what would make me think that she thinks that? Well I have a few reasons...

Reason #1
She is obsessed with Titan's food and water dish
( this is probably normal since it is on her level but wait there's more)

Reason #2
She recently discoverd his collar. Since it is so hot outside he spends alot of time indoors and we don't always have his collar on him. But when we do she sits next to him and plays with it. The other day when it was off of him she found it and was trying to put it on her neck.

Reason #3
She wimpers. Titan isn't a really whiny dog but sometimes when he gets excited or wants something and is being ignored he will whimper. She has started doing this too. Oh she also tries to bark.

Reason #4
She follows him everwhere and wants to be where he is. Upstairs, downstairs, outside, on his bed...you name it. If he is there she thinks that's where she needs to be too. Last week he was laying on the floor on his back and she crawled over right next to him and layed there too. For like 5 min just laying there staring at the wall.

Reason #5
LICKING!!! Yes that's right! Licking! She started licking almost everything but the main things she licks are the tile and the carpet! Who licks the floor? Dogs! And earlier this week instead of kissing Jon she licked him...twice. Forehead and cheek...just like who...the dog!

Ok so those are my reasons. Maybe this is all totally normal. Maybe she just loves her dog. Maybe its because she doesn't have any siblings to copy. Who knows..but for now I think she thinks she's a dog.
