After the latest vet visit, Bella received freedom of sorts. She can now go on walks, meet other dogs and generally can go places she hadn't been able to previously. Her first expedition into the free world came in the form of the Oakton shopping center. As Chassie went into CVS, we took a walk up and down the sidewalk. It was surprisingly sparse of people, but we were able to meet three individuals, all of whom thought Bella was adorable. She was a little too excited to heed the sit command before greeting her new best friend of the moment. The twenty minutes that Chassie was inside on provided us with a few encounters, all being women. Puppies definitely are chick magnets.
Her next foray into this big unknown was around the neighborhood. We only walked around the mailbox island in the middle of our parking lot, but her little nose was on the ground or in the air constantly. She loves leaves. Leaves and sticks are her new joy. She pranced around with a stick in her mouth for a good minute before something else caught her attention.
I see her as curious and wanting to explore. Each time we go out, something new will occur and hopefully she can take it as a learning experience. Pretty soon she won't be this small puppy without a clue, she'll be all grown up making people happy.
