Maelin and her Good Friend Zeke



We have an awesome neighbor...we're really lucky because she takes care of the stuff she's supposed to, she's willing to help out with anything that we all need to do regarding our properties and she's super sweet and friendly.

You can't ask for a better neighbor than that...AND one day she brought me gelato from our neighborhood spot without me even asking her! She just knocked on our door and said she thought I might like some. Now that's a good neighbor!

She has an adorable chocolate dog named Zeke. Now Zeke is a young doggie and is pretty energetic so there's lots of times our neighbor will go outside with him and he gets so darn excited, he barks his little tail off.

Maelin thinks that's pretty funny. Every time we're outside and Zeke starts barking, Maelin laughs and laughs and kicks her legs and watches Zeke and laughs again. I think the first time I ever saw her really give up a good belly laugh was when she was watching Zeke play.

Now Maelin listens for Zeke. A few times lately we've heard him playing outside and we've gone out to visit. Zeke loves Maelin as much as she loves him. He runs right up to her and sniffs her and barks and runs around. The two of them really couldn't be cuter.

Here's a picture of the two of them on Halloween. Maelin is a chicken and Zeke was Godzilla (or Dogzilla...). His costume was a bit small which could explain the look of humiliation on his little face, but Maelin couldn't stop staring at him...it was if she was saying, "What happened to my friend??? Why does he look so funny and why is he so sad? By the way, what the heck am I doing in a chicken suit???"
