This boy and the dog

Our dog feels the need to check on Brayden every morning.  The dog must walk into his room and she really wants to have a look (she is not really allowed in his room).  Brayden never seems to mind her presence.

Brayden's favorite place, other than daddy's lap, is in the big chair.  This time of year is especially great because he likes the Christmas lights and the warm fire.  Well, the dog likes to hang with Brayden and she loves to lay by the fire.
What happens...

The dog, who is not at all allowed on the furniture, some how knows it would be okay if she was with Brayden.  The dog would not even attempt to get on the furniture if it was Carter or Luke.  So really who is spoiled more...Brayden or the dog.  They are living the good life.  Brayden as happy as can be and the dog too.
