OT entertaining a 6 year-old?

Yes, Doc. It was in there. I reckon, considering my condition, that you should have put it all caps with asterisks and stuff. As to Yogi - that's strange. Lots I don't know. Well. . . of course, there's lots I don't know. Yogi stayed well out of reach of the 6 year-old and he's just such a sucker for friends, neighbors, shoppers at Lowe's or anybody that ventures down our road. Can't explain it but he did Not want the little visitor within touching range. He didn't bark or bite; just maintained about a 5 ft perimeter. We're not going to talk to him about being compassionate. The small terrier was probably just protecting his little self. We know Yorkies and small children are not a good mix. Yogi knows that too. Maybe you should have loaned me Fudge. He could have played fetch and keep-away as long as they lasted. Polly

Dogs may be dumb, but they're not STUPID! We have a rule/saying around here: Dogs are responsible for their *own bodies*! Which means it's their responsibility to watch out for clumsy humans and get the cuss out of the way. Most dogs learn this on their own by age 2. We just have a little fun with it. Our other rule/saying in that regard is: What's the fun/point in having a dog if you can't goof on him? Let there be no doubt, dogs have/find their ways of goofing on us humans too.

More likely he'd lick the skin right off her face. He's into licking faces & ears right now... HARD. Puts his whole body & soul into it.

(((((( Polly ))))) My condolences to you and your family. A shocking loss like yours tends to get the better of most of us. I'm glad you were there for the little one. And I hope you know what a huge compliment the girl paid by choosing you as her shelter during a very difficult time.

Love, Sunny

As someone whose rented a 7 and a 3 year old on occassion, may I also add that Quiet Time is your friend. A couple of well chosen library books, a puzzle, or some books on tape/cd and everyone goes to their room for a bit o quiet time.

Now mind you, the 7 year old was at first aggrieved by the idea and told his Mom in the most indignant 7 year old voice imaginable "They made me have quiet time." Mom's response was "That's nice. I make you take a nap." He decided quiet time wasn't so bad after all.

Sidewalk chalk and bubbles. You can make your own bubbles with washing up liquid and a small bucket of warm water. Use an old wire hanger to make a huge bubble wand.... hours of fun with those two things. I entertained my nieces and nephews when not much older than them with this!
