aww - Bonnie that is great! I think they know to be gentle. It really is so cute, the rolling over and slowing down to let the puppy catch him, how adorable.

DIllon met his first little human baby yesterday. He has met young children (as young as three) but this was a 1yr old being carried in a front holding back pack thingy ( can you tell i have no kids? LOL) and the dad came over to say hi to me and dillon. Dillon greeted the man wonderful and exuberantly as is normal and then suddenly dillon realized this man had a baby strapped to his chest! dillon was a bit wierded out for a minute but was still waggling his fanny...and then the dad couched all the way down, and dillon gently went up , sniffed the baby, who squealed with delight and dillon licked her little tiny fingers ever so gentle, and she got to pet him ( with the biggest smile on her face)- Dillon was completely calm, no hyper jumping crazies...somehow he knew that this was a delicate little person---he really liked this little girl. It was so heartwarming to see him interact in that way. he actually did so much better with this little one that he does with the 6 yr old down the street that we are always trying to avoid ( this little kid has no experience with dogs and no matter how many times she is told that if she wants to pet the dog she has to go in and pet him not put her hand out and jerk it back over and over and jump back or run away and then run back as this just gets dillon all overexcited and he thinks it is a game of chase or get the hand.. she does this to the other neighbors with dogs, they all run when they see her outside, as do we. LOL!
