oh, kids. since i was spending the entire day of thanksgiving at my parents house, i had to take sanford with me. my sister-in-law is deathly afraid of dogs, an actual sort of phobia i think, so i didn't know how her kids would take to him. they were excited to meet him, until they saw him, at which point they were really scared. they basically just stared at him from the other side of the baby-gate.

my nephew is quite the brave little boy though, and he quickly started to stick his hand through the gate to pet sanford and give him treats. his bravery gave his older sister some courage, and after a coupe hours, they were both in the kitchen leading him around by his harness, petting him, and feeding him treats.

the littlest one though, who was only two, remained scared of him until the end. however, she did end up with a sort of weird fascination with him and would keep saying
gogo (chinese for "dog") somewhat obsessively throughout the day. but if you brought her near him, or he went near her, she would freak and scream and run away. but start saying
gogo again about thirty seconds later.
