Mount Pleasant Magazine May/June 2019

65 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.BestOfMP.com | www.ReadMPM.com feature SYDNEY, BABY HAZEL AND DOG, HOUSER Kristan Leader described Houser, her 8-year-old, 92-pound boxer as “the biggest teddy bear,” but when she became pregnant with Sydney, he knew things were changing and became a little protective. “I think he knew when I was pregnant that something was going on. He just came over, and he would not leave Sydney’s side. He sleeps in her room on her trundle bed. We didn’t want him to feel left out, so we kind of immersed him in baby stuff and put the baby next to him, and they would snuggle.” When 1-year-old Hazel came along last year, Houser extended the same loving behavior. Sydney calls Houser “her brother,” and when people ask who her siblings are, she simply replies: “Houser and Hazel.” BABY ANDERSON AND DOG, BAILEY Chocolate Lab Bailey knows he has a best friend in his new pack member, Anderson, who is 6 months old, and he wants to be there for everything his little friend does. Bailey “celebrated” Anderson’s first roll over last August. Anderson’s favorite thing to do is pet his four-legged pal. Laura Berthiaume, Anderson’s mom, said, “They undeniably share a special bond and have been so in love with each other since the day they met.” ALPHA DOG TRAINING’S U 10 hours of monitored playtime 7 days a week!
