Gabriel and His Protector

We had Gabriel over this weekend to visit, and as always Major was thrilled to see him. He has apparently dubbed himself as Gabriel's protector and it is very sweet. He'll even let out a fairly loud bark if Mark or I approach Gabriel and he's not sure about it. After I laid down Gabriel for bed on Saturday night I was looking for Major. I found him laying on the ground beside Gabriel's bed and I'm sure he would have stayed there all night if we would have let him. Below are a couple of pictures taken the next day. In the first one Major appears to be alert, but in the second I guess he's sleeping on the job. Either way, Gabriel and Major make a very cute pair!
