She is a sweetie, there are a few people on the list that know her. My
point is that I lock her up because the potential for her to attack him
is there, I don't let it escalate beyond warning behavior. I really do
fear my mother forgetting and coming in with him without me here.

Niether is my nephew most of the time, acctually he loves my dogs but
Dream senses something about him.

If you look back at some of my other posts you see that I tend to play
devils advocate. A pyr also knows that a 3 year old does not have the
sense to know who to let in and who not to. It may seem ridiculous but,
I've had a seemingly nice 9 year old pull a knife on me as well. My
point is that Pyrs sense things we can't, we weren't there so we will
never know, but there is always the possiblity.
