I often travel by train to Oregon to visit my family. This is something I do often.
Hayden had only been with me for two weeks since graduating from Summit, when he traveled for the first time with me. I was apprehensive about how it would go our first time, but he traveled like he’d been doing it for years!
When we got to my family’s house, I was nervous about how he would do with the children, aged 8 months through 15 years old. He fit right in and everyone loved him.
My sister and I were in her kitchen, when we heard Jessie, my 8 month old niece, crying in the living room. We took a few steps toward the room, when we saw Hayden go over to the toy box, pick up a stuffed animal and drop it in her bassinet beside her. My sister and I couldn’t believe it!
He has shown that same desire to comfort others since then. When someone is crying, he goes to them and tries to give them attention and “kisses” (licks). I feel lucky to have such a compassionate being with me.
A day doesn’t go by that I’m not extremely thankful that he has been given to me to assist me and share my days with.

That is so sweet, that Hayden brought a stuffed animal to comfort the baby. It sounds like you have yourself an excellent companion.
