We are bound and determined that our little Simon will not be afraid of dogs. And we are going to accomplish this task by borrowing other people's dogs rather than have our own.
We know that dogs make wonderful additions to the family, etc. But we are not ready for another child, especially one that poops in the yard and tears up shoes. Our own human children can do those things well enough, thank you.
You may (or may not) be wondering why we are so bent on avoiding canine phobia in our youngest pup. Well, this can be attributed to the irrational (and too often ridiculous) fear of dogs that his older sister experienced for many years. At the sight of a dog somewhere in her proximity, Amelia would scream right out loud and attempt to climb the nearest piece of furniture or person to escape what was often someone's mild little terrier. Dylan was so disturbed by her outbursts that he figured dogs must be something dreadful and started to scream and run away when one came near just as soon as he learned to walk, and then scream and run away.
They've both gotten over it.
And Simon never got under it. At least, not on my watch.
This was later that day.
I think Simon was inspired by the dog's curly locks and attempted to duplicate them.
Not bad.
