I now have a different take on socialization. At first, I took my 2 with me to my friends but over time have stopped that. People do come over to visit but they are older and really not dog people. At Christmas, my daughter and her 2 children came for 10 days. The girls are 7 and 8 and their stepmother is pregnant. She has taught the kids how to hold a baby (baby due this month). Both girls carried my dogs all over the place. I think at first the dogs wanted Scotty to beam them up but by the 3rd day when the girls came in (we have a guest house) their tails were wagging so hard their whole butts were moving. The girls were very good with the dogs and I was totally surprised. I know when they left the pups missed them. Lucy and Monkey are a year and a half.
