Last week when I was out with Natasja and carried her
across the open field, I pointed out two dogs to her
and named them. The result was instant panic with her
scrambling to get inside my clothes. She did see
the dogs before, so it wasn't seeing them that scared
her. Note that she's not afraid of all dogs.
Today, Carmen heard something on the path on the other
side of a bush she was standing under. So I told her
it was a dog, whereupon she instantly backed further
under the bush.
