Today was quite an eventful few hours. After work, I came home...took Miya outside to sunbathe because it was such a gorgeous day! Then we went to a car dealership so mom could look at cars, then we went to Target, then we went to the vet to see let her play with the cocker spaniel that lives there, and THEN we went to the petstore, and finally mom picked up some take out and we went home. PHEW, what an eventful 3 hours! She has fully adjusted to car rides, now just need to get her around more people and more doggies

Glad to hear you are enjoying your little Miya so much.
Lucky you have gorgeous weather, it's cold and wet here.

Wow that's great she got out for so long and did so well. That's what you need to do.

I had to take advantage of the 75 degree weather. Today it's back in the 40's ....poor miya, she wants the sunlight just as bad as her Florida mommy!

Aw sounds like a fun day! Did Target give you any trouble bringing her in?? I got kicked out of one of those with my doggie a few years ago. I don't have that issue anymore though; I did send you a pm, not sure if you received it though?
If you have any thrift stores where you're at like Goodwill or Salvation Army they're also pretty lenient of bringing pups inside. My biggest recommendation for socializing with people is to have her walk on a leash as much as possible. When being carried or in a purse, though very convenient for transport, it can cause some dogs to be overprotective of their "space" and "person" and are less likely to want to interact with others. I used to take Kahlua on a harness to PetCo and basically just let her wander and explore... nobody could resist loving on her so she got a lot of positive training that way lol!

I did receive your PM thank you. Do they really obey that at places? I had her in my purse, no one even noticed her except for when I checked out, of course. She didn't bark and was pretty quiet. I had a smart remark planned incase anyone decided to give me a hard time...I mean c'mon, they advertise a freakin dog on their doors and commercials..so..yea. hahahaha ...good tips on the leash think. I wouldn't have thought of that but that is great advice. Thank you
