I’m super happy for my brother Nelson! It’s hard to believe I wanted nothing to do with him when he came to live with us. Even a year ago when Mom tried to walk us together he was too wild and I wanted to kill him. Now we walk together on the long walk almost every day. He is wild and crazy but I am mellow which balances out things for Mom. We share our interest in rabbits including howling and lunging at them. He also looks out for me.
Nelson likes to hang out with me in my office bed sometimes. I have benign growths on some of my paws, ankles, neck and nose. He checks them several times a day and sometimes cleans them off as well as cleaning my ears now and then.
My brother isn’t far from me most of the time and he likes to get me to play with him. He cares for me and does his best to keep me active and feeling young. I’m super lucky to have him in my corner even though he is nine and a half years younger than I am. The guy is simply a “really nice guy” and I don’t know why we never had a brother before he came to our house. Happiness is having a Nelson in the family!
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!

I am glad you both get on so well now. Nelson sounds like he, is being a caring brother even if he is still rambunctious!
He is definitely wild and strong but he can be very gentle and caring with me and sometimes when a rabbit crosses our path we both get all worked up.
You are lucky to have such a loving brother, Bailie, even if it did take time to get there.
I think I aged enough to not let little things bother me anymore and he learned to be gentle with me. He is a really good brother.
that is super sweet… we are happy too that we have a brother… they are the best siblings … and the best friends ;O)
My sisters love me and Madison took me under her paw like her own puppy. I’m a lucky guy.
Nelson is the best brother for you, Bailie!
Sisters are always a bit “girl” which makes it hard to be super close but I’ve learned a brother is an amazing friend to have.
Bailie.. I know you were accustomed to sisters and that brothers are often crazy pants….Nelson is such an amazing loving brother.
Thank you for telling us about his tender caring side
Hugs Cecilia
He still can be wild around me but he knows to be more gentle than he is with Olivia or other dogs.
Siblings are the best, aren’t they?? We are glad you and Nelson have become such good friends!
We are wishing you and your whole family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny (and Beth too)
Happy Thanksgiving to you both and your pawsome parental units. We are happy the two of you get along so well. It is a lot of work mending broken fences, we know from experience.
I am so happy you two get along wonderfully now, he does seem like such a sweet dude.
He is a pest at times but overall, he is very kind, gentle and a lot of fun.
Nelson ~ you remind of my brother ~ Bailie I was the wild one ~ you both are adorable and so glad you have each other ~ My Mom misses her brother ~ even more so this Thanksgiving ~ hugs to you both and Mom too ~ xo

I was a very wild child and now I am the mellow older lady but Nelson keeps my life interesting and he is also very sweet.
I’m glad you gave your brother a chance and he’s even more happy that you did. So precious.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to the pups and a big hug to mom. ♥
He truly is a gift to our family, such a wonderful personality.
Nice post! We loved reading this. What a good baby brother! I was Lillys baby brother and eventually she warmed up to me. I loved being with her. Have a great day!! your friend Chester
It must be a brother thing but Mom says her little brother is still a pest, LOL! Lilly was a wonderful girl and lucky to have you once, like me, she gave you a chance.
Brotherly and sisterly love. Nothing beats itn
For me and Nelson, it sure is true.
I’m thankful you have Nelson and he has you.
I’m really lucky to have such an awesome brother!
It’s good to have a brother who cares.
I’m super lucky he is such a nice guy and so kind to me even though I didn’t like him much for a long time.
