A day at the park



Brinley has finally made it all the way to the park! Today was the first day that we could get that far on our walk without her turning around and bolting for home. I had the kong in my pocket and when we got there she was thrilled to chase it to the end of the leash and bring it back to me. She has gotten very playful in the last few days, and even convinced Olly to chase her around the coffee table a couple of times. This is a big deal for the pudgy pug.

She has pretty much stopped scratching, and you can see a lot more fur coming in, especially on her head and neck and hind end.

So many of the things that scared her at first, opening a cupboard door, turning on a light, turning the water on, putting the dishes away are not a big deal anymore. I guess just given the time to get comfortable (she likely hasn't had a chance to do that much yet with 4 homes in 9 months) she won't be as nervous.

She will go out with the dog walker again this week and we will see if she can make it past the end of the street.
