Mighty Texas Dog Walk

We took Juneau to the Mighty Texas Dog Walk yesterday and it was a huge success! Juneau was perfect. She walked like a champ on her leash (though it was quite hot and there wasn't much water so I turned her around a mile short of the full walk), and she was incredibly friendly with every single dog she met. She greeted every person and pet with a wag and a kiss. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her. Many, many people came over to pet and love this unique and lovely girl and she made several new friends, two lovely and huge Great Danes in particular!

Following the Walk we headed to our group's Meet & Greet. These events are always very chaotic and often overwhelming for dogs, especially the first few times. Juneau was fine-- no doubt her deafness an advantage in such a loud environment with dogs barking! She greeted the other rescue workers and kissed all of the pets she met. We also microchipped her while we were there.

We knew she was good with other dogs at home, but these outtings let us know that she is great in all kinds of situations with every size and shape and age of dog. This is all important socialization work, and she is well on her way!
