Archie and Dane

We have been watching my mom and Chuck's dog, Brinkley, and cat, Archie, for the past two weeks while they have been in Maine.  It is a crazy time of year for us to begin with because Luke is working a ton (gone all week and some weekends too) and I've been working weekends at Oktoberfests so it's been crazy to say the least.  And kind of like a zoo, with 3 dogs, 2 cats and 2 boys.  Amid all the craziness though, it's impossible not to see how sweet the boys are with all of them.  Will and Brinkley have an especially sweet bond, and have for a couple of years.  Brinkley sleeps with Will every night and they play together - it's very cute.  This visit Dane has also developed a sweet bond with Archie.  Archie is almost as big as Dane, and I've worried that he might get annoyed with Dane and take a swipe or a bite out of him. But he hasn't, and it is obvious that Archie loves Dane.  He lets him carry him around, dance with him, sing to him, lay with him, the list goes on and on.  And Archie just goes with the flow. 

Last night I was helping Will with his homework at the bar and heard Dane singing and walking around.  After a few minutes of it I looked up and saw that he was dancing with Archie.  I got part of it on video, and this is just a perfect example of what Dane does with him and how easygoing Archie is with it.  Please excuse Dane's nighttime Pull-Up and also at the end Rosco gets upset at the conflict. (he cannot stand any wrestling or fighting :)  But it's so sweet you can see Archie nudge Dane's face, which is a sign of affection and him claiming his territory.
