That's fabulous, I think dogs can have a wonderful relationship with children especially damaged ones. When grace was have such difficulty walking, Elsie would stay by her side pushing her upright as they walked, quite a feat for a terrible puller on the lead, she just knew to help.Re: Murphy is being a star..
That is really good Cass, well done Murphy. ChoCho absolutely adores children, but we've been lucky, none of the little ones who come here, or have been here, have ever tormented her, all have been happy to play with her and her toys. Even my little grandson who was just 18 months when they came in July was really good with her and she absolutely adored him. My son does have two large dogs at home and Jaxon is being brought up to respect animals, I just wish all childen were.Re: Murphy is being a star..
Lovely story Cass.Re: Murphy is being a star..
IMO dogs can fit in quite small places we lived in a car with our dogs when we were homeless for a year. So size isn't a problem, busy lives can also fit around a dog depending if they can make sure someone is with the dog most of the time. Husband and I have worked opposing shifts to accommodate never leaving dogs alone. But I think I'd say we have been busy people at times too.Re: Murphy is being a star..
Good boy, Murphy! Cass, what a wonderful day for your grandchildren and pup! I hope that Murphy enjoyed the change of pace, and I have seen the powerful effect that dogs can have on autistic children. For my neighbor's son, who is severely autistic, his dog has not only been therepeutic - but a source of unconditional love and acceptance in a challenging world. I also once had service dog in my classroom for another autistic child, and it proved to be match made in heaven. The dog was remarkably calming (staving off meltdowns) for him - and the rest of us!Re: Murphy is being a star..
Thank you for those kind words, it's amazingly easy to keep a dog when you are homeless, they love being outside and being with their humans all day, it's when you try to get accommodation that it gets more tricky. So many rentals won't take dogs and it's got worse over the years not better.Re: Murphy is being a star..
