Best Friends

I have really enjoyed watching Molly and Arnold's friendship grow, they really love each other!  And recently I've really been thinking about how much they have grown together!  In the beginning, Arnold was the "baby", we got him 4 months before Molly was born.  He joined our family 4 days after we moved into our house, so he was my little buddy, following me around while I unpacked the place!  Then once September rolled around and Miss Molly made her debut, at first, Arn was VERY jealous of her.  But it did not take long for him to realize he was her protector, and he takes the job very seriously! 

He's always by her side when it's time to eat, because he knows she will always share whatever she is eating.  If she is walking around with some sort of snack, he literally stalks her until she puts it down, then swoops in to retrieve it!  Recently, she has started to hold out her snack to him, and as soon as he gets close enough to smell it, she whips it away and starts to run from him, looking back and cracking up to see if he's chasing her!  They always chase each other around the love seat, Molly loves its and so does Arn!  If she stops playing with him, he'll nudge her or make some weird sound at her trying to get her attention to keep playing!  It's precious! 
Below I've posted some pics that walks you through their friendship! It was really fun to look back at the two of them!
