Boys and Puppies

There is something really cute seeing little boys playing with puppies. Maybe because they are both young, you tend to appreciate their relationship even more. These two paintings speak volumes about the disappointment both boys feel. The first one being short of a few pennies in buying his first puppy. The second one shows another boy being short of a few more pennies to get his license to own a puppy. These may be vintage photos from bygone years, but undoubtedly they are real in any American household. 

The problem with young children in wanting a puppy or even a bunny for Easter, is that they don’t realize that they have to walk the dog, clean up after them and feed them regularly. Yes, boys will be boys, but isn’t it precious seeing these to boys on the verge of spilling a few tears.
