Completely Unaware Of His Size - or Lack Thereof

Sorry, I’ve been gone a while. Life got a little crazy for a bit – Urban Botanic did a bridal expo – The Bridal Extravaganza. Then I took a trip to Grand Junction for Urban Botanic. Add to that a website re-vamp, tons more on my plate, and a new addition to the family:

Dino - The Tiny Warrior

We have been taking Dino around to meet his cousins. At each new house we enter he immediately starts shaking in my arms as if a big, bad, ugly monster were screaming in his face. This lasts about two minutes and when he finally settles I put him nose to nose with the dog he’s meeting. They sniff each others’ faces for about 30 seconds and then I put him on the floor so they can sniff each others’ butts.

Last night we took him to meet Gina & Eric's immaculately trained Dobermans, Zephyr and Liv. After the butt sniffing stage, Dino surprisingly decided he wanted to play with Liv. He would jump up, nip Liv’s nose, and then instantly retreat 20 steps the opposite direction as fast as he could run, certain that Liv would retaliate. Then when he realized he wasn’t being chased, he’d craaawl slowly on his stomach commando-style until he was a few inches from her feet and then hunker down, jump, nip, and retreat in one speedy, hilarious movement.
