Well the decision was made that the sheltie would come with us, for now. He got along ok with our daughter, was sort of nervous but I feel with time he will get over it. He has never been around a toddler really, just 7-8 year olds and an infant. He was curious but a little shy. He'll be here next week, but we don't know what we will do with him from there. Two other relatives had offered to take him and then backed out of the deal.
