I wasnt too keen on the challenging aspect myself hun , but thought id better put it in my post cos that was one of the answers that came up when I searched , lol

Id say after me , Jean is his second favourite person to be around ... i've never heard of this 'fear stage' though , what is it ?

Toff is the most unlikely candidate for fear you could ever meet , he's friendly to everyone human or animal (even the postman is his friend again now , lol)
has never shown any signs of being scared of anything ... is there something im missing ?
as I said , ive never heard of this fear thing so dont know if I should have noticed some signs

Oh yeah , he's fine physically , he's nearly 8 months old now , when he did this around a month ago we were advised to rule out any medical reason for his doing it and the vet said he's in perfect condition ... maybe he's just being a teenager as was suggested back then ?
