That's so cute about the kids. Jackson will do the same thing but once they come down to pet him, nu-uh, he hides behind Mommy.
Yeah, what is that!!! Apple is all about running up to the kids, doing wild circles around and around, but she's not about getting petted...Then I get embarassed, because she's acting like a nut-case, and won't settle down and have to move on
