New people, stripping puppy coat

Terra met my friend Ally's family on Saturday. She was a bit standoffish with Ally. She warmed up to Ally's husband quickly. (I think it helped that he looked similar to a couple of other men she likes.) She really liked Ally's 5 and 6 year old kids! I don't know way but Terra has always liked kids, the younger the better. She also likes Miki's 1 and 5 year olds. She wants to lick their faces over and over and lets them reach for her and pet with with a wagging tail.

Terra was initially put off by Nimbus, the 5 month old Portugese Water Dog. He was jumping onto her head and shoulders to play. But she warmed up to him and they ended up running around in circles together.

I tried my hand at stripping her coat, as the breeder was stripping her sister Ryuk this weekend. Terra was mildly irritated when I tugged on more sensitive parts of her body, but for the most part just laid down and let me do it. We're doing a little at a time so she looks very strange right now.
