Maeve really loves Maya. She gets so excited to see her each morning and she has patiently learned how to pat Maya in all of her sweet spots. Maya has a very itchy spot where her ear meets her head and it appears that Maeve has the perfect touch. Both of the boys are kind with my dog, but Maeve loves her with the complete abandon that I remember feeling toward my grandparents' dog, Sailor, and then my childhood dog, Sultan. My kids don't look like me, but seeing this totally makes up for it and more.
