Grandma got a Puppy

Grandma and Grandpa Fullmer got a puppy for Christmas.  The puppy is named Taffy and he is 3 months old.  Taffy created the need for my three oldest children to stay at their grandparents' for a few days so they could play with the puppy.

When Grandma Fullmer came to pick up Landon, Xander and Jadzia she brought the puppy for everyone to see.  Inara actually did ok seeing as she normal runs in terror from anything with fur that is not stuffed.  The fact she stayed in the room was improvement.  I was even more impressed when she pet the puppy and let him get close to her. 

Jadzia actually did pretty good as well as she is also terrified of most live animals.  She stayed back for a little while but eventually after a lot of reassurance on the safety of the puppy she pet him.  I'm sure she's probably warmed up to Taffy by now as they have been at Grandma's since Monday morning.

Landon and Xander adored Taffy from the start.  They have always loved all animals.  I have spent a large amount of time going over the rules of approaching strange animals as I'm somewhat sure they would enthusiastically bound up to a grizzly bear if we were to ever wander upon one.

And no there are no pictures of Ronan and the puppy as he preferred to avoid Taffy. Ronan is the type of guy who has to be around someone/something before he says "hi".  But I think taffy was definitely a hit with everyone else.
