Çeşme Made Friends!
Çeşme has made some major progress in the few days that we've had him. We've gone on two walks in the neighborhood before his anxiety level got the better of him (therefore forcing us to remain house/backyard bound for the past two days). On our 2nd walk, Çeşme made two friends. Tucker, a sweet, but somewhat skittish Bernese Mountain Dog...and Sofie, a very rambunctious grayhound/lab mix. Sofie and Çeşme spent a good 30 minutes running together and playing in the church yard/woods. Meanwhile, Seymen and I were introduced to all the neighborhood dogs.
Tonight was a very very special night though...Tonight Chesapeake came over to visit Çeşme, and help show him the ropes. Poor Çeşme is very anxious and scared to even go outside in the backyard. Walks have been confiscated at his insistance, and going in the car to say the vet for example is 100% out of the question ;-)
Well tonight, during Peaker's visit...Çeşme was able to run around the yard playing and chasing...and then we practiced going down the front steps, into the laundry room, and into the garage. We even practiced getting in the car and sitting. We had the opportunity to sit in the garage while the doors were going up and down too! Cesme did great with his new best buddy Chesapeake. They are going to go on a walk in the woods on Sunday, and all next week, every afternoon, they will be playing together.
Here's some pictures from our fun play night!!
