The dogs have been great for the most part, they are still extremely gentle with the kids (now almost 6 months old!), though they do like to sneak by and get a light kiss in…which makes Pierce giggle uncontrollably. Gillian just smiles. Both my children are now aware of the dogs, and if I have them on my lap and Bish or Rip sitting nearby, they’ll reach out to pet them on the nose, which the dogs are very receptive to. I couldn’t be happier with the relationship forming between my children and the dogs, and can’t imagine what the alternative would have been if I hadn’t never reached out to you for help.”
