Alba visited my parents' house Sunday. They have a nice, big backyard that's perfect for a puppy to run around in! By the time we got from the car to the yard, she was sniffing everything, looking everywhere, and exploring her new territory. She spent the first bit of time running around the yard, bright-eyed and alert, getting used to a new place. She loved it! There were new smells, new sounds, and new sights. The noisy birds in the backyard trees were especially interesting! After a break in her crate, Alba came back out to meet my Mom and Dad, who had come out to sit in the yard so she could get to know them. It took some coaxing to get her out, but she didn't regret her decision to come meet these new people. After running around and exploring the back yard some more, she tentatively approached my Dad and sniffed his toes. Big progress for a girl who's afraid of strangers! After getting to know him a bit, Alba let Dad pet her and she ate a handful of food right from his hand. This was quickly followed by eating from Mom's hand and letting Mom pet her. It was a wonderful afternoon, full of new boldness, exploring, and being a wonderful puppy! At the end of the day, she was happy to come home--minus a bit of shyness.
