I received this in an e-mail some time ago. If this doesn't make you smile, nothing will. :-)

Instructions for properly hugging a baby:

1. First, uh, find a baby.

2. Second, be sure that the object you found was
indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques.

3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the
hugging process.

4. The 'paw slide'
Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.

5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute
the difficult and patented 'hug, smile, and lean' so as to
achieve the best photo quality.

Baby and Mastiff, so perfect together. Karen thanks for sharing, your post bought back many warm memories. My husband and I raised 7 little ones while having our very own gentle giant. Lion Heart was indeed the best baby sitter we ever had. Till this day there isn't a family get together were one of the kids doesn't bring up some fond memory of growing up with him

That is the best photo ever. The story lines added greatly to the cuteness. "Next you will need to flatten the baby." Very funny. They are both so very cute. Thanks for the laugh and warming my heart.

Grey and Andrea: Glad you liked it!

Suesan: Yes.. we have lots of dogs, but by far my largest, Nugat.. a 100 lb yellow lab, is my gentle giant and soooo great with my granddaughters. Glad this brought back some nice memories for you.

Lisa: That was my first response too.. loved the captions, and the pics are priceless!
