Having Buddy brought out the lovely protective side of Logan.  Logan has been very careful with Buddy.  He keeps an eye on Buddy and reminds us to take him out for potty.  He reminds me to put a leash on Buddy when it is dark, so I won’t lose sight of him.  If I let Buddy wonder farther away, Logan gets nervous that Buddy could escape from our backyard.  Logan wants to feed Buddy when it is time to eat.  Once Logan also volunteered to babysit Buddy for 30 minutes during his first week while Stuart took Connor back to school.  Logan was a bit stress afterward, but we were very proud of him for willing to do it.

   Buddy is jumpy when he is excited or when he is curious.  Connor is a bit nervous at him sometimes, so Logan helps protect Connor as well.  If Buddy walks toward Connor while he sits on the couch, Logan would put his arm out to block Connor in case Buddy jumps up.  When we are eating dinner, Logan always keeps a close eye on Buddy to make sure he does not stand up by our table or attempt to look at our food.  Logan also reminds us that Buddy has only been with us for a short time, so we have to be patient with his training.  It is very nice to see this great side of Logan.
