I don't know what was better - watching Megan & AC fishing or watching our dog, Chloe, follow AC around the pond. Chloe is an overweight daschund, and for that reason instead of caller her a wiener dog, we call her a sausage.
Her devotion to AC is such that she cries pitifully when le leaves for work, church, or even to go outside. She absolutely MUST know where he is, or she is distressed. Her excitement upon his return is comical, complete with high-pitched squeals and a tail that looks like it will wag right off her rear-end.
Just as amazing (but not as surprising) is AC's devotion to his younger daughter Megan. They have a bond that is different from any other father/daughter combo I know. As she struggles for independence like any normal teenager, he tries to give her a certain measure of fr3eedom while maintaining his parental responsibility to look after her best interests. The trials they have been through over the past few years - both before and after I came on to the scene - have been an exercise in strengthening their bond. This comes through faith & trust in God as well as one another. Little things like fishing or playing guitars & singing make memories neither of them will soon forget.
