My wife and her were really turning heads in Petrifying Springs Sunday afternoon – but it had nothing to do with us, but rather with our two gorgeous girls, Bobbi and Ellie. We are with them all the time, but it isn’t until we are out in public with them that we are reminded all over again of what a beautiful pair they are. It seemed like we spent most of our afternoon accepting the compliments of almost every single person we passed. (Honestly, we couldn’t have attracted more attention if we had walked through the park with Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox in tow.) What is really interesting about that is how people who would otherwise never say a single word to us (or any other strangers) will greet us like long-lost friends thanks to the dogs. What is weird about these compliments is that if people were oohing and ahhing over our children, we would feel like we had at least something to do with their cuteness. (Having contributed to their DNA if nothing else.) But we can take absolutely no credit whatsoever for Bobbi and Ellie’s cuteness. They’re just beautiful and that’s all there is to it.
