Roman and Bear

A few months ago Grandpa Terry got a new dog. Bear was just a puppy when they got him, but he is a big puppy. At first Roman wasn't sure what to think of this big, playful puppy. He had so much energy, wanted to run and jump and Roman was used to our little dog that's old, and Grandma and Grandpa's big dogs that were old. So a puppy was a new experience for him. Slowly he warmed up to Bear. He decided that as long as the dog didn't jump on him...he was okay.

Then one day Spencer took Roman to his parents house so that Grandpa Terry could help Spencer replace the brakes on his car. Grandma was vacuuming, Roman was more scared of the vacuum then the dog so he went out in the yard with Bear. He started throwing things and Bear would chase them and bring them back. Then he started running around....Bear would run around with him. He decided that was a fun game.

Now, when we go to Grandma and Grandpa's house he isn't scared of Bear anymore. Bear is his friend. They race through the house together. Roman finds toys to throw to him, and he loves giving him treats. I think Bear likes him too....
