Maybe flew today, and she flew last Friday, the first time
since she was eight weeks old.
I judged an agility trial in my old home town and, since I was
judging 17 of the 21 events and couldn't compete, I took Maybe
so she could experience some new stuff and meet my family.
Maybe's a very confident and thoughtful dog. She handled the
flight well, as well as our new home and new car (both loaned
by the organisers). Since I was pretty well the only judge,
two others took her for walks during the day but we had plenty
of together time during the evenings and night. It was pretty
cool being only with her without Rocky and Friday.
After the trial, we visited mom for a night, which meant
meeting more strangers (most of my relatives) and sleeping in
yet another house. Not surprisingly, the only incident which
put her ears down was meeting my 3 very young nieces. They're
very minding kids, and understood when I asked them to let
Maybe come to them on Maybe's terms. Still, three active
girls 'twixt 3 and 8 were disconcerting for *me*, let alone my
puppy who had never spent time with kids.
Maybe perked right up after a nice walk at an off-leash park
across the road from mom's house.
