So the kids have some new friends living with us! Spike and Shasta! This is the first time the kids have met Shasta. She came to visit 2 years ago while we were on bedrest, but the kids didn't get to meet Shasta then (thankfully they stayed in a little bit longer!). They have played with Spike many times since then, but not Shasta until now. We were unsure how the kids would respond to a big doggie living with them because anytime they have looked eye to eye with a dog, they have been a bit freaked out. They don't mind little dogs so much - Bailey, Mozart & Delle - but they are much smaller doggies. Anyhow, the kids have been doing great! The first day, Shasta gave Kyle big licks on the face and instead of losing it, Kyle smiled and laughed and said, "Shasssa kissies!" And he even gives her nice touches. Emily just loves Shasta too. She has been a little more fearless with other doggies and has responded bea
utifully to "Shassssa". We took Shasta to the park the other day and the kids both wanted to throw Shasta's kong toy to her. They thought it was the funniest thing when she'd chase after the toy and bring it back to run after it again! And Emily wanted to walk Shasta on her leash. Needless to say, they are loving their new friend Shasta. And of course they are loving Spike ("Docter Fike") a ton as usual!
