I was reviewing in my mind today things Laev has seen or experienced, and I thought of some highlights:
- escalators
- motorcycles (seen, not ridden)
- wadded tarps that drop her into unexpected puddles
- agility teeter
- agility chute
- wading pool
- all types of footing: rubber mats, grass, gravel, pavement, wire mesh, wooden boards, etc.
- sidewalk cafes
- crowds
I haven’t shown her an elevator yet, nor has she done any tugging on linen bitesuit material or leather toys. I should probably address the latter.
Still, she’s darn experienced for a puppy. And I’m proud of the way she takes just about everything in stride.
She is developing a strong jump which, as someone pointed out tonight, might well bloody a lip or nose in an unsuspecting greeter. I hadn’t really thought about it because I never bend over her, so it wasn’t an issue for me. I don’t want to inhibit her jumping this early — I’ll do that later, after she’s confident working on strange helpers — so I guess I’ll just have to be more vigilant.
