It has been fun to watch Dylan create his very own relationship with each one of our pets.....Initially we were both a little worried about Whoo ...not that he would be aggressive or anything like that...but that he is just this little 50 pound bowling ball that mows over anything in his path........we thought that Maggie would be the best with him....and figured Mr. Mooks would avoid the child like the plague.............Wrong Wrong and again Wrong
Whoo or Winston and Dylan get along great....Winston is very careful around Dylan and just absolutely adores him....Dylan feels the same way and loves to share his toys with Winston...the other night we were in Dylan's room playing and Dylan has a little plastic truck....he would take the truck and put it in Winston's mouth.....then after Winston played with it for 30 seconds or so he would take it back....Winston laid right down next to Dylan and happily played along with Dylan's game.....Dylan can also crawl over the top of Winston....Winston never moves and rarely opens his eyes....Winston loves being Dylan's dog
Maggie.........the sweetest most wonderful lab ever.............it terrible around Dylan.....our only accident to date that required a doctor visit was thanks to Maggiemoo....she is quite the tank and can take him out with one good swipe of the tail....she literally pays no attention to where Dylan might be at any given moment and can take him off his feet in a second.....Dylan is fairly cautious around Maggie.........and Maggie gets on Winston's nerves when she behaves this way and Winston will stand protectively in fr0nt of Dylan as to say........now Maggie enough is enough
Mr Mooks.......amazingly loves this child that at times seems to torment this poor cat....but Mr Mooks could easily lay on top of the couch to get away from Dylan....but follows Dylan around the house.....Dylan has gotten better about petting Mooks nicely....last night Dylan was taking his tractor and running into Mooks with it....it really was quite funny to watch....Mooks would simply move about 5 feet and Dylan would run into him again..........this happened about 4 times until Dylan grew tired of the game and Mooks fell asleep.....this is probably one of the most interesting dynamics in the family....you see Mr Mooks has always been Winston's cat.....no one else can pet Mr Mooks except myself without Winston getting very upset and very possessive over his cat....but he has no problem with Dylan petting Mr. Mooks........
so we have been wrong on every count.......we thought Maggie would be the perfect dog for Dylan.....wrong......we thought Mr Mooks would never associate with Dylan really wrong.....and we thought Winston of course would get along with Dylan but to actually be gentle...kind...giving....loving....and patient with Dylan we didn't expect that............really wrong.....
so it will be fun to see how Dylan gets along with his first pony..........hint hint

Oh man, that first pony what a deal! Pony League baseball is great, I can hardly wait until his first pony......league game :)
Interestingly, I would say Eddie is better around Avery than Turtle. I would not have guessed this before Avery arrived. Both dogs are good, but Eddie tends to be a little more careful around Avery. Turtle sometimes gets too excited. That said, they very rarely knock her over which quite impresses me as this isn't something we've worked on with them.
