When we first brought Mikayla home Shiloh sniffed her a few times then wondered the opposite direction. She never gave Mikayla much attention, but would run away if we tried to get them close to each other. They lived in the same house, but were hardly friends (or really even acquaintances).
Shiloh sniffing her down for the first time. Not overly impressed!
Don’t be fooled, Shiloh is waiting for the sandwich in Ben’s lap, not the baby!
Then, Mikayla started moving and crawling. Let’s just say that Shiloh was none too happy to have to move about constantly when Mikayla came her direction. Which she did often! She loves the dog (any dog really). They still lived in the same house, but a friendship seemed impossible. Shiloh wouldn’t let her near her for more than a few seconds. Long enough to lick her face and then run away.
Then, Mikayla started eating finger foods. Shiloh loves people food. She will sit and stare at you while you are eating, waiting for just a crumb. Mikayla figured this out quickly and when you turn your back she will sneak Shiloh bites of her food. Shiloh now not only tolerates Mikayla but seeks her out, especially if food is involved. She will even allow Mikayla to pet her and give her Eskimo kisses. It is so sweet. They now live in the same house, tolerate each other, and one might even say are best friends!
