Even though Chimmie is a very BIG boy, today his weight was 10.2, he is a big scaredy cat. During our walk today it was super windy. The temperature is in the low 60's, so it's not cold. I had a hard time pressing-on through the wind. He had no trouble moving his muscular body forward, but he was petrified of the wind and the leaves blowing around. His tail was so far between his legs that it was wrapped under his belly. Linda made him finish the walk and did not pick him up, even though he was shaking from fear. One of the things he does when he is unsure or scared is really adorable. He needs a few favorite stuffed animals and his newborn bed to give him comfort. When he is really unsure, like today after the windy walk, he sucks on them just like he is nursing. He even closes his eyes when he nurses. It melts our hearts watching him do it. (This is a photo of when he was little. We need to take some more now that he is grown so big.)
