We have a friend with two daughters that we babysit from time to time. The youngest girl is always afraid of our dog at first simply because she is excited to see new people and she tends to bark. Then by the time she is ready to go home, we have to beg her to leave the dog alone! I was worried this was going to be some kind of puppy mill when I read the title, but it looks like a really cool place. What a great life for the dogs! All the love and food they can handle!

There are a lot of children here that are terrified of my dog. sure, she is 11 lbs of pure terror but I don't get it. I can only guess that they were traumatized by some rogue animal at some point in her life, which is understandable. I spent a lot of my life thinking that Golden Retrievers were awful and vicious animals because when I was around 8 years old and would ride my bike to school there was this one that would relentlessly chase me on my bike. I didn't have the wherewithal at that point in my life to realize that it was just playing and enjoys chasing things. If I had just stopped the bike it probably would have showered me with kisses.
Yeah, retrievers are interesting like that. I don't think I have ever met one that wasn't just looking for a whole lot of love. I can see how it would be a bit traumatizing as a kid. They funny thing with her is it happens every time. You would think she might have some capacity to remember that she loves Jovi. Instead we have to go through the whole timid hesitant phase for the first hour she is over every time.
