Baloo

We have waited a long time and although Baloo's behaviour isn't perfect, he is pertty close. He is sweet and lovable. The boys are learning how to behave so that he doesn't get over excited. The boys are larning to give him space and they are learning a little about forgiveness, because puppy teeth hurt, but Baloo doesn't mean to hurt them. I have found that the relationship between the boys and the dog has been better than expected. I have found Ethan more than once snuggling in a special place, just him and Baloo singing a song to his pal. Of all the kids, I think Ethan has benefitted most from having a little bit more responsibility and feeling, as he says, "more grown up". He needed that!
With some training, Baloo will be a wonderful family pet that we hope to have to many many years!
