Mini Tyke met Dinky George last week … 
She was very intrigued by George but a little unsure, especially since I barked at her.
But it did not put her off and she still loves to bother me. Mummy just thought it would be better if she focused on George rather than me.
So yesterday, Mini Tyke encountered George – one-on-one …
She was nervous but intrigued
She watched his every move
But when George tried to smell her
She backed off
And became a little scared
But both she and George persisted 
George turned to look at Mummy for reassurance that this strange creature was ok
Mummy told George – it’s ok Georgie.
He stood still to let her touch him
And stroked him
We taught her to be – Nice, nice
And it worked!!!
George acknowledged Mini Tyke
And she was mighty pleased with herself
And investigated further – this time it was George’s ears
And started to observe the little white hairs he has on his body – no don’t pull at them!!!
Phew!!! Worried there for a moment.
And we resumed the “nice-nice” stroking
And then Georgie said, “Stroke my tummy, Mini Tyke because that’s how I know we will be friends!”
But she hadn’t learn yet to do that so she patted his head
And poked at his nose
Well, we have come a long way since the first day she saw George.

Well done Georgie and mini tyke. George is so patient and such a sweetheart.
Great pictures May. Good for both of them.
How beautiful is that interchange between the two!
Should be titled “Getting to know you”.
Love,
