We didn't do anything special on 11/23-24, but today we had a big adventure in Berkeley! We met up with my parents and Agnes & Laurence, along with their dog Frankie plus a dog Agnes was caring for. I left Chimera at home since he's leash reactive and would be a bad influence on Terra. Poor guy.
First stop was climbing Indian Rock:
Next was the Aftel Museum of Curious Scents. The dogs waited outside. My mom reported that Terra was not at all concerned about being left with her, which is great.
We walked to CrepeVine on Shattuck. Along the way we had to pass many people and a few dogs. Terra was intimidated by someone's Dane mix. She was curious about all the other dogs but I'm teaching her to move past them without greeting.
I tied her behind my chair at the restaurant. Even though she was very tired from all the walking, she was too stimulated to settle down at first. Twice we were passed by people pulling scary rolling suitcases. Otherwise she ignored the passersby, and I gave her treats to keep her with me when dogs passed.
We went through a tunnel on the way back to the cars - another new experience.
She napped during the hour's drive home, and for two hours after that while I took the boarding dogs out. I thought that she would be down for the night, but nope! She still wants to play and chew on things.
