Day 35-Playing with Rubin

Ever since we lost Ivy, Mattie has been trying to rebuild her friendship with Rubin. They were great buddies when we first brought Mattie home but after a hair pulling incident Rubin has been a little afraid. He is coming around slowly. He usually runs away when she gets close but they do enjoy eating the same foods (dog food and people food) and playing with the same toys so I am hoping it will help them bond! Rubin has also become pretty protective of Mattie since Ivy passed. He might be scared of her but you better believe when she starts crying at night he is the first one in her room. He can usually make it into her room, check on her and back into our room to get me by the time I am rolling out of bed! Such a good dog! Here are some pictures of their budding friendship!
