Today we went on a HUGE adventure. We went across the street to play with our neighbors.
Foster dad carried me across the street and set me down in Indigo and Laaika's yard.
At first, I stuck close to Emmitt and checked it all out.
It didn't take me long to start exploring. I practiced the stairs several times (maybe this will help me to feel better about going down the stairs at home).
Stairs are pretty scary when you have never seen them before!
I felt very comfortable playing in the yard. I was playing like a pro before too long!
I even made a new friend, Chase!
She is shy like me, so we just sniffed each other a lot.
Foster dad was there to give me love when I needed it. I would come back every few minutes to check in with him and Foster mom.
The last part of the adventure was my least favorite. Foster mom made me put on a leash. I DO NOT like leashes at all. They scare me terribly!
But, since I was having fun, I forgot about that leash and it just sort of followed me around while I played. It wasn't that bad.
When I got back to my yard, I let Foster mom hold onto my leash because she promised me she would not drag me. That made me feel better, since I am starting to trust her.
I only took a few steps on that leash, but boy were my foster people proud of me!
They told me that baby steps were a great start and that we have many adventures in our future once we learn to walk on that leash.
I don't know about that...Those steps I took today were hard work!
