Jessica Shyba of Momma's Gone City, a blogger based in New York and California, has given people an early Christmas gift in the form of Theo and Beau, her new puppy and adorable toddler son. She writes, "Theo and Beau have a connection that I can only explain as completely natural and instantaneous. They behave as though they’ve been friends for life already [...]." This connection is never more obvious then during their nap sessions.
Shyba has created a photo series on Instagram, appropriately dubbed Theo and Beau, that captures their unique sleeping habits. Whether lying back to back, cuddled together or sprawled over the bedsheets, they are clearly inseparable even in sleep. This is like a Calvin & Hobbes relationship.
