I guess I already knew that ~ the no cuddling thing - but it IS really hard not to and it was his first incident...I will definitely be stronger during the next one! We did try the diversion tact to no avail!! Poor little guy...was shaking like a leaf! He has never done that before so I guess I was taken by surprise No excuse I know but it broke my heart. He is usually so bold and fearless! Also I have been thinking about taking him with us more to gigs and such but if he is nervous or frightened maybe I should ease into it. I just can't seem to find the right time. We are a bit over cautious because of what we went through with our Darling Gizmo recently. My sitter keeps reminding me that Teddi is healthy and should be treated as such. Didn't think we weren't but...

Thank you all for your caring words! I was afraid someone would tell us to just ignore him and I know we could never do that!
