Well, Xena and I went to a very busy park today. She is almost 14 weeks and still unsure around new dogs and some new people so the first little while she was barking a few times as we passed, walking tail down and lagging behind....
But by half way she came out of it!

She sat and watched several soccer games with parents screaming and refs blowing whistles, met 4-5 dogs who were mostly friendly, studied elderly folks being assisted, played with toddlers, heard loud music, watched (and smelled) the blacksmiths do their thing, practiced listening to me and played "find the keys" (where i throw, hide or "accidentally" drop my keys and she searches for them and lays down with them and touches her nose to them!). She also had a great time romping in the river and meeting (and learning to ignore) the boys on scooters! I wasn't sure how to ask the mom of the new baby if I could try my dog out on it to see how she liked little babies.... so I didn't.
I am so proud of how quickly she can go from fearful to wagging at new people!
She was snoring before we even made the 5 minute trip home.
