Tatum is Tired
Tatum is dead tired today, but in a good way, and she hasn’t launched herself at anyone yet! She is sleeping next to me on the couch pushing at me with her feet.
She came with this morning to the park, and I brought Levi too because he doesn’t seem to get out very much recently. We chatted with a friend then we walked by the skate park area. There were a couple of little kids and their parents on skateboards going up and down. Tatum was afraid of them, so we just stayed for a little while. I wanted to get her out and experience different things.
She is getting so much better, though, and I’ve gotten a number of compliments on wonderfully she is doing now in public, and how much more relaxed she seems. I think I’m going to start taking her out more on her own, it’s just about that time and I think she’s ready for it.
Also, Jezzi came to flyball today too! She was our foster from a few months ago. She is such a great girl.
So far we don’t need any assisted living software for us or our dogs, but maybe someday we will.

I’m really glad she is starting to ‘come out of her shell’ more. What you two are going through reminds me of when we got Gracie. Took her for her first walk and found out all kinds of stuff we didn’t know about her – afraid of men, afraid of cars, trucks and buses. But little by little we got her used to pretty much everything – oh, until we find something new! Keep up the great work! She sounds like so much fun!

Sounds like she and you are making great progress. A true labor of love, for sure. Happy Thanksgiving (well, almost)!

Hi Johann! It is really fun to watch a rescue dog blossom. Like Gracie, there will always be something she hasn’t experienced before. Sometimes it’s hard for me, as a human, to spot just what the scary thing is.

Hi Coralie, I love your name. It is a labor of love, Tatum has stolen my heart and dogs don’t usually do that for at least six months or so. I was hers after only a couple of weeks.
