His tail is wagging and for that, I say bravo. Toddlers for the most part make his skin crawl but Aiden has been gentle with him and I have very carefully monitored all their interactions so Victor knows I am not going to let Aiden bang things or roll on him. I will always believe that he was hurt by a small child before he came to me, and if children are super jumpy he moves himself behind me which is fine. He could have backed out of his collar at any time with Aiden so he isn't being forced to walk with the baby. I am glad he is warming up because Aiden is going to have a sibling in March.
Aiden thinks a dog on a leash is the best thing since sliced bread. He is all ready for a walk the dogs when he visits me. Inside or out. Pepper is his usual copilot. This is the first time I have let him try with Victor.

Thanks for letting me share.

oh this makes me smile--both because of Vic and his tail wag, and because of Aiden--too adorable for words.

Awwww....what a sweet dog. He looked like he'd like to have a bottle of milk too, as he was eyeing that. What a cute little Aiden is.

Awww.....that's so special. It sounded like Aiden was saying "down" when Vic was on the chair & Vic laid down.

Hehe Brilliant :D The look at the end - why are you attached to me little thing?

Bodhi sympathises, she's not keen on small people either.. which is very very odd, as she would be the BEST kids dog in the whole wide world.
