Graham knows....

I'm sure if Graham could talk, he would look at this picture and say "man, those were the good 'ol days."  Before children (BC), Graham was the center of our world and especially Nick's.  Graham went to work with Nick everyday, he got all the attention, and enjoyed being a "lucky dog" (truth be told...there was a time when Graham would even go and sit in the bathroom when Nick would shower and other things...)
When Tillman came, Graham's world was turned upside down!  He was probably wondering when was this little person going to leave.  When Tillman would cry, he would go to the back door and beg to go outside.  Graham has adjusted to Tillman.  They really don't have much to do with one another, and Graham and Tillman compete for Nick's attention.  Graham will get in front of Tillman to greet Nick, and Tillman will push Graham out of the way to get to daddy.  Graham is generally on the losing end when it comes to Tillman...after all, Nick doesn't pick him up and twirl him around like Tillman!
The past few days, Graham has pretty much seems depressed, and over the past month he's been showing behaviors that we haven't seen before (Graham is a perfect dog, no chewing and no messes).  He went to Caroline's room and threw up (he NEVER goes upstairs) and just this week he "messed" in there. The other week, he chewed up one of Tillman's toys.  We have put all of this together and think this is his way of showing he is not up for yet another little one in the house.While cleaning up after him and dealing with that is frustrating, I do feel bad for Graham.
Today Nick took him to doggie daycare (which he loves), and Nick is trying to figure out a way to begin taking him back to work at least a few days a week.  Dogs need love too...right?
Tillman may not know what is about to "rock his world" but Graham sure knows!
