Peanut has always been nervous, at best, around little kids like 5 or 6 and younger so when they are around I hold him or put him behind the gate in the hallway.
Well, for the last 2 days our 6 year old grandson has been wanting to come here after school until his Mom gets done working. He absolutely loves our dogs so he wanted to make friends with Peanut.
He sat in the kitchen chair and I handed Peanut to him while I stayed right there. He gently patted him and was very careful in his movements. He did this a few times at the table or on the couch and after a short while Peanut was giving him kisses while wagging his tail and then smiling at him! It was so cute!
Peanut was a little more relaxed after he left but my girls were sad. The girls loooove kids so they have a good time when our grandson comes over but when he leaves they lay at the front door waiting for him to come back. Moo even jumped off of my lap to go to the door when she heard a truck that sounded like our son's...she thought he was bring her little buddy back...poor Miss Moo
