I have certainly been neglectful of this space for the last several days. I could say that it's because nothing of particular note has happened, but that wouldn't be quite true.
All in all, it's been a lovely week. I think we were both a little tired from the intensity of the training at school. And, if it didn't come through in all the things I wrote, the training is, indeed, very intense! So, we've spent the week mostly relaxing and getting used to living with each other in a home setting. I have to say that Poshi has adapted incredibly well, and pretty much instantly. I'll confess to not being very good about keeping her on leash, as the school suggests. With only her and me in the house, it just didn't seem necessary. Her house manners are impeccable! And her playful side is coming out more and more every day. A couple of days ago, a couple of friends brought their dog over to meet her, and what a fine time they had! It was great to see her just acting like a puppy and romping and wagging and generally carrying on! This is a friendship that looks like it'll be fast and long-standing. I can almost picture them as a couple of old lady dogs, hanging out together and making fun of the puppies that they meet!
Oh, and I almost forgot to tell about the trip home. It was amazing! I've never had a guide who wasn't horrified at the thought of flying! Until now! She did sit up and look around a little at take-off and landing, as if to make sure that things were ok, but the rest of the time, she just curled up at my feet and slept! It was almost anti-climactic! I had a very full food pouch to help to keep her calm, but almost all of it just went into her food bowl when we got home. Since I hadn't fed her very much in the morning, she was more than ready for that.
Today, we're off to a rather small convention in Waterloo, across the state. I hope it's not too soon for such a thing, but judging from the past, I imagine she'll take it all in stride! I'll write about it when we get home! Wish us luck!
