Bear and I were out doing yard work today, a young gentlemen who lives in the neighborhood always walks his dog and stops to say hi to Bear. They were doing so good with each other, he asked if his puppy could play with Bear, so I let them in the yard and Bear was so awesome! He let that puppy jump on him and bite his ears and he was so gentle!! The man’s dog is a German Shepherd puppy, she is soooo cute! Her fur is so soft!
We were both proud on how good Bear was behaving! Since he wasn’t socialized enough it was awesome to see him do so well!
Hugz from a happy Bear and his mama!

What a good boy!
I wished I had my phone on me to take pics
I’m wondering if a dog who got shorted on “social skills” will eventually mellow out as they get older? Mister B was a BRUTE when he was young – going after cyclists (while on leash), biting shins of waiters, biting our neighbor at a bbq! – but now he is much less aggressive and is even amicable to the neighbor’s dog when we pass by their property.
He must be mellowing which is cool! I don’t need him in protective mode all of the time for sure!
Nice, glad it was a nice playdate for Bear and the puppy!
