A few weeks ago we had the chance to take care of our neighbors dog when they went out of town for a couple of days. We brought the dog over to our backyard so that the kids were able to play with it and be close to a dog for the first time.
Do you notice how one of the twins isn't in any of the pictures? That is because he was mortified of the dog, which is really funny because they are both always playing with it through the fence (petting it, giving it snacks etc). I felt so bad that he was scared of the dog. I tried to coax him into petting it and playing with it but each time he would cry, shake like a leaf, and beg to go back inside. It was really quite a traumatic experience for him.
It is so interesting for us that one of the twins LOVED the dog and to this day wants a dog of his own, and the other twin is so frightened of the poor pooch. I feel so bad for my boy!
