Last weekend Martin & I had a date day and our friends Kate & Jacob so graciously offered to puppy-sit at their apartment! Considering this is what Scout is like whenever they're r over - I wasn't too concerned!
This brought many opportunities: work on separation anxiety, new environment, new people, and new animals. That's right, Kate & Jacob have a cat and a rabbit - so Scout got to
This weekend we visited Martin's Aunt & Uncle in Portland, OR. This was Scout's first sleepover anywhere and he did really well. Their family dog is an older rescue that is still working on socializing well with other dogs. Darcy is so sweet, she's mostly just scared of Scout, but the fear manifested itself with a few growls and snaps. It was a bit overwhelming having to constantly monitor both dogs at once the whole weekend, but we survived! By the end of the weekend Darcy was initiating play with Scout, which was a really big deal for her!
By the end of the weekend they were walking like a pack. It was so sweet! What I can't get over is the gorgeous landscape, you would never see such tall trees in Iowa! We can't wait to go back to visit and continue to cultivate the dog's relationships!
