[bettyeanne]

Toto is skittish at new sounds and things and always proceeds with caution. The only thing we have found that truly frightens her is two of our grandchildren. Noone can understand it because she is all over all other children!! Children aren't allowed to hold her but we let them sit on the floor and if she chooses .... she can climb all over them. They really enjoy her especially after she learned to "fetch"! They really tire her out with that! But, these two little boys [aged 6 & 5] just terrify her! We have tried everything we can think of to encourage her to like them [let them offer her favorite treat, etc.] but she will have no part of them. I feel so sorry for the boys because they tell her all the time how much they love her! Evidently one of them did something to her which she didn't like and we didn't see. I hope she will eventually get over whatever it is .... otherwise, she is a brave little girl!
