Mary, you'd have been so proud of her today. She greeted everyone, even total strangers, as if they were old friends. I was so afraid after being away from the group all summer that she would backslide and have to start from square one, but she really just picked up where she left off. Every week she surprises me more and more. People are always remarking on her smile... she smiles ALL THE TIME! This fella has a dog that's very reactive and one that's not. He came over to Sedona today saying he's been wanting to meet her, but hasn't had the chance. He's only been on a few hikes. Sedona hasn't met him until today, he's a total stranger to her. Look at how she reacts to him. I wish you could experience this yourself. I never stop smiling when we hike.

Michele, she was too funny. We were hanging out at a pond waiting for the stragglers to catch up, and she was just looking around, wagging her tail.
She was a real social butterfly all day. At one point a bunch of us were walking together, and a few people behind us started to fall back. When Sedona noticed this, she stopped and turned around just off to the side, and while the laggers caught up she just was watching them, wagging her tail. As soon as they were close enough for her, she jumped up and did her little circle dance and then turned to start walking on the trail. I can only imagine what she was thinking.

Thanks, everyone. But all I did was take her walking. Sedona did all the rest.

Yay CC!!!!!!!!! Thanks, everyone. But all I did was take her walking. Sedona did all the rest. Not true. You've given her patience, time, space, confidence, love... and the opportunity to come out of her shell on her own schedule and on her own terms. You didn't push her too hard, but you didn't let her hide in her crate 24/7. Sedona deserves credit for being such a brave girl, but you deserve credit for helping her find that brave girl hiding inside. ETA: I luuuuv that pic of Rufus giving Dave kisses!!!
