Natasha and I got home on December 12 and she was very afraid on my 2 dogs. Both dogs are mixed breeds and she is taller then both of them.

Natasha saw pictures of them while in Ukraine and liked their names.

Natasha was afraid of being bitten. The dogs had big teeth. (I got thisinformation via a translator.)

After about 4 days she stopped screaming when she saw them. And now sheloves both of them. She actually was kissing the dogs before she ever kissed me.

However, she is still afraid of the dogs. But her fear has changed. Both dogs have scratched her with their nails and she is afraid of their nails now. She loves watching the dogs get their nails clipped. She thinks it is very funny.

We are working on this new fear. She will start screaming if the dog's foot is too close to her. I tell her, "Use words"... "Natasha say back"....
