Meet TIGER, The Amazing Wonder Dog!

I should give a little background here. Most of you know my children. If you know my children you also know that they are scared of dogs. We have made LOTS of progress on this irrational fear/phobia. FaithLyn was the worst. She was paralyzed with fear every time a dog came near. We decided the best thing for her to overcome her fear is to have a dog. So when the right one came along...we welcomed him to the family. Anyone seen the movie My Dog Skip? Well this little fella is a Jack Russel Terrier Mix. Skip is a Jack Russel. I have always wanted one. The girls named him. He is lots of fun and loves to cuddle up and snuggle. I took FL and Elise with me to look at the puppies. I thought if FL is ok with one then we will bring it home. She, grudgingly, agreed. But we HAD to bring the "calm" puppy home. The only time I have regretted our decision is late at night/early in the morning when he is yapping for attention in his box. EVERYONE loves him. And he has helped me to meet my goal to get up EARLY in the morning!

Livey is a very EAGER friend. Tiger is a little wary of her and rightly so!

This is the picture that I am most excited about. We haven't pushed FL to play with Tiger or hold him. But today after school she played outside with him for an hour! I peeked outside and found her sitting on a large rock holding him. What progress!
