re: #512 Decatur Deb
Our autistic granddaughter was cold to their old beagle, but was getting fond of their new poodle—then it dug out and got hit by a car. Both dogs were small.
A couple years ago, we visited my SIL. She has a small terrier-something. Very well behaved and my son warmed up to him pretty quickly. I hope he will have a similar reaction this Christmas.
