It's been a week since we got back from a stay with your great Aunt Sherry. She did a wonderful thing and took Hilo into her home. You made Hilo very nervous. He could just not get use to you and now that you are crawling around and pulling yourself up on furniture he was even worse. He has snapped at you warning you to stay back a couple times, we were just so scared that he would some day take it past the point of a warning and actually bite you, or one of your friends. Because, its not just you baby, he doesn't like any kids at all.
We miss him so much still. He was such an amazing dog in so many ways, he just did not like kids, no matter how hard we tried. I love him, I always will. He is in a better home now then here though. Auntie Sherry has no kids, no stress, no fences, just a big open farm with lots of room for him to run and play. She takes him out 4 or 5 times a day to play ball and walk, that is way more then he ever got here. She has another dog "Jade" and they get along fine. Apparently they even cuddle on the couch together now.
Auntie Sherry will have to put Jade down soon because she has hip displaysa and it has gotten quite bad. When that happens Hilo will be a wonderful replacement for her and it will be so good for Sherry for have a new companion.
Auntie Sherry says he has setteled in just wonderfully, he is following her around, snuggling on the bed at night and acting like he is home. That is so good to hear but even now, it is hard to type about. I really miss him.
For the first couple days the house felt really empty, like something was missing. I couldn't even eat a yogurt without getting emotional...he use to lick the container out when I was done. Every single time I ate yogurt. I miss taking him out to play ball and I especially miss the cuddles and kisses, and how he use to follow me around everywhere!
I do however feel much less stress. I don't have to worry about him being around you when you are crawling around. I can actually sit on the floor and play with you without worrying. You are crawling all over the house and we no longer have to create a barrier between you and Hilo, just incase he was to snap.
This was so good in the end, for everyone including Hilo. I wish he would have been good with Kids. You two would have been the best of buds.
You still have Hana though, and she loves you dearly. You need to learn to be nicer to her though. You are too rough with her. We will work on that, even though she gives you kisses after you pull her ears and tail. Lol
