Vince can be picky about the people he likes,
but he took to her right away. |

Bremo likes anyone with a free hand
available for petting. |
My mother has come to visit for a week or so. We have several dogs around that she is meeting for the first time and everyone has been fine. She had met Trooper before but this time we are making an effort to gain his acceptance. So far, so good. By the end of the day he was no longer barking at her every time he saw her outside (he's been in the dog yard all day). This evening I brought him in, leashed, and let him sniff her and get acquainted. She was able to look at him at close distances without eliciting his fear aggression response, but I still had him on a short leash. He wants to know who she is and what she's doing here, but he seems to be accepting her presence in the household.

We let Trooper watch as Bremo
demonstrated how to get what
you want from new people. |
|
Trooper watches intently, but he relaxed around her in the house.
Still, we are taking it slow. |

Trooper and Trouble. He's looking at me, she's looking at him.
If he can do for shy Trouble what he did for the shy and scared Maya,
Trooper will be known as Saint Trooper the miracle worker.
His stock is at an all time high already. |

Great photos! Trooper really is a ladies' man!
If I was a dog, I would certainly want to snuggle up with your mom. She looks like a sweetie!
