We're having a nice weekend here, and I've been taking Ozzie out and about- I've really been working hard with him, lots of walks, outings and day care, and it's paying off! He came with me to a new local pet store today, just to look around- and was anxious, but NO BARKS to the girl he met- and after a few minutes of me talking to her, he sniffed her and let her pat him. Then another trip to the fire station- with nothing but friendly greetings- I was so proud of him that I got him a new marrow filled shin bone- his most favorite thing ever! He may always be aloof with strangers, but his social anxiety has really improved so very much!
