Bucky is a unique soul. He loves to play, but he also loves to cuddle. This morning he insistantly crawled into my lap while I sat in the recliner. He curled up in my lap (overflowingly since he's a pretty big dog), leaned his head into my chest, and stretched out his forearm to lay it over me. Never had I had a dog that was so 'humanly' expressive of his love. Most are like Yukon, content to hug and love in a canine fashion, but not Bucky. That just isn't good enough for him, he wants so much to imitate how Jim and I show love for each other. It is touching in a way that is difficult to explain, but oh so wonderfuly fulfilling.
This morning he sat with me like that for close to an hour even though I know it is a bit uncomfortable and probably too warm for him. The devotion of this boy is simply incredible. In harness he pulls his heart out, and will lead or follow equally willingly, though he prefers lead (problem is he gets distracted easily, so I have to put him with a dog that doesn't get distracted from running). At home he is incredibly loving and loves nothing more than to be petted and loved on. Well, maybe he also loves laying in front of the AC when it is warm out...
