Asserting His Independence

For several months now, we have been bringing Dexter upstairs to our bedroom for a little bit each day.  He runs around on the bed, snuggles with us, watches movies with us, and generally behaves like a good dog.

We have never had any issues with him being on the bed, other than he likes to chew blankets sometimes, and if the cat is on the bed too, he will antagonize the crap out of her until she leaves.  But otherwise, it is just an explosion of cuteness.

Today, however, he decided he no longer wanted to be on the bed.  So he rolled himself off of the bed, and onto the floor.  Before I could even check to make sure he was ok, he trotted down our large staircase to the first floor, and was on his merry way.

My little boy is growing up.
