Chris's best friend

When Dad went into the nursing home four months ago he gave his beloved dog Morgan to Chris. Morgan is a border collie and she is the greatest dog. She and Chris have always been buds. Her favorite game is to chase baseballs out in the pasture that Chris hits. Living next door to dad's has meant Morgan actually had two homes. She would run back and forth during the day but when Chris would come home from school she would dart right over here to play. Well, the other night we had a rare evening home alone with Chris. We roasted marshmallows for smores and Chris had a graham cracker in his mouth and Morgan came right up and took it out of his mouth and ate it. She did it over and over again. The funniest part was when Scott put one in his mouth and called her over she didn't do a thing. Chris smiled and said "Morgan's my dog dad." He's crazy about that dog. His picture in the yearbook this year is with Morgan. Morgan is going to miss that boy as much as we are when he takes off in September.

What a special story.

You are right... when Chris leaves Morgan will be so sad. A 'My Dog Skip' kind of thing.
