Those of you that know Spencer, know that he is TERRIFIED of dogs! He was attacked by one when he was 4 and has not forgotten it. It doesn't matter the size and it doesn't USUALLY matter if you tell him that "he won't hurt you!" It could be the nicest dog, Spencer is terrified! It is sad actually. When he is invited to a friends house, the first thing he asks is if they have a dog. He won't go if they do. Well, this past week, my brother John got his family a dog. We knew they were looking for a large dog and that made Spencer nervous becasue we spend a lt of time at the Merrill's house. Well, this is Cole and Cole is a LOVE. He is a fully trained, full bred, 1 year old golden retriever. They got him here. If you are interested you could read more about him here. Tonight, we had a little family birthday party over at my brother's house. We were excited, but a little nervous to see Spencer with Cole. We really didn't know what would happen. Madison (Spencer's closest cousin and pal) introduced Cole to him slowly. He was a little scared at first, but by the end of the evening, he was holding the leach and walking him around the house. Yeah for Cole. We plan to go over often to overcome his fear.

I'm so glad this worked out! Cole is the wonder dog - curing Brooke and Spencer of their fears. Hopefully it'll spread over to other dogs as well. Too bad there is not a picture of him petting Cole. I was really surprised at that!
Hooray! way to go Spencer!
What a milestone. I used to be really afraid by dogs after being chased home from school by 2 slobbering, growling dogs. I'm good now. Glad Spencer can play at the cousins :)
I am not so sure about the dog named Cole. At least its a really handsome dog!
I am very glad to hear that Cole was able to help your son. We are quite proud of Cole. We firmly believe that our dogs all go to the homes that were meant for them. I came across your blog while looking at my web site stats & I am very glad I did.
