This week was Mokey's last 'special' dog class. They had a little non-reactive sheltie come in and walk around the room. Mokey actually did pretty well - there were a few hyped up moments, but overall I was really pleased with how she did. We're going to take a break from dog classes for a little bit, so that Mokey can get spayed, but in the meantime Mokey and I have a lot of training to practice. Once Mo is fixed and her stiches are out I'll probably sign her up for the class again, just because it's a safe place to practice her behaviors - I know no one is going to run up or try to hug her and that they won't let their dogs near her either. So, now I just have to tackle the vets office. Yuck.Mokey's favorite way to ride in the van.
On another positive note, we had a family friend stay over one night this week. Guests are really hard for Mokey and this one was especially so because: 1. He was male and not pasty white like the rest of us. 2. He's very tall. 3. He has a deep voice. After a relatively quick freak out Mokey was able to settle down. She had to be on leash at all times and I always kept her at the opposite end of the room, but she did really well. The second day she was even offering sniffs and could look at him without getting tense and worried. So, progress!Momo also recently discovered a new way to cool down and take a snooze. My sister and I were in my room chatting when Mokey suddenly stood up, walked out the door and we hear this 'thunk, thunk' as she climbs into the tub and lies down. She's so cute!
