he needs a dog

Or maybe not.
He's seriously scared of most dogs...especially the vicious Willow.
Ha.

Dad had to "protect" him from Willow.
He wouldn't leave his lap for the longest time.
Notice how he is eying the dog in both of the pictures below.
He is seriously scared.

He finally got off Dad's lap when Dad said he could sit on top of his car.
Until Willow was secured with a leash, Tate wouldn't get off the car.
