Is anyone there?

At first we were afraid that Ryan would be scared of dogs, especially bo bo (the Sheltie) seeing that she loves to bark, but Ryan couldn't get enough of them. He would scream in excitment and talk to them too. Ryan was also surprisingly gentle with them. He just followed wherever they went, whether it be under tables, behind couches or on watchout duty! I can tell he misses them, because when he sees his toy dog he beams with joy, but when it lie motionless when he plays with it, he looks at me with the sadest face of disappointment. I can already predict many future pleadings for a dog when he gets older.
