Harley has made another step in the right direction today! I decided to bring him on campus w/ me today and brought him along to my drawing class. I carried him in my kari pack so I didn't have to worry about him scampering away from me. Well of course EVERYBODY wanted to pet him.. I mean geesh.. Who can resist a yorkie!? So I told them all to let him sniff you first and once he licks you or starts wagging his little nubby tail
then you're A-ok to pet him.. And sure enough.. No problems at all! He was soo friendly! And over 10 people even held him and he gave them kisses all over their faces! I'm so impressed w/ the difference it makes just by giving him the chance to see who's about to pet him!
And my professor is a real nut! He's originally from yugoslavia and has been teaching for over 45 yrs! He can barely speak english even though he's been living in the states for 20+ yrs and his accent made Harley act funny! But Fadja was soo sweet w/ him and let him check him out first and then he spent most of the class playing w/ Harley rather than critiquing our sketches! (everyone appriciated this!)
Now all I have to do is tackle the children aggression.. And I have found the perfect little helper! My little 4 yr old cousin Donovan has brightly volunteered and I'll keep you guys updated!
