Patience Wins Over Joshua

Hermann Tames Joshua



Patience and Love

Hermann has made tremendous progress with the very hand shy Joshua.  He patiently sits and visits with "his boy" and Joshua responds with eager anticipation.  They have begun to take walks around the house!  This is a huge step for Joshua.  He seems to trust Hermann and stays quite comfortable on his arm.  That's not to say that Josh doesn't get nervous occasionally.  He will see something out of the corner of his eye and Hermann gets a little nibble that shows him Joshua's anxiety.  Joshua eagerly anticipates every visit from Hermann.  And when Hermann gets ready to leave, Josh starts talking up a storm.  He'll whistle and beep and even call the dog.  Such dramatics will get Hermann to laugh and come back for one last skritch.  What a guy!
