Gotta share my little win for the day- 17 week old Beauceron lady sat on the couch and relaxed with me for the first time in over a month, since the first day we brought her home and she just wanted to decompress. 🥹
This is the first time she’s chosen to relax with me without actively working on a chew. We typically have to enforce naps either in her playpen or crate, but this morning she was being so good, I decided to ask her up on the couch with me to just see how she would do. After letting her know that I please did not want any more face licks, she just plopped down on my arm and rested there calmly for over an hour. Now she’s shifted off of my arm (she’s a warm blooded girlie and gets hot quick lol) but is still just napping beside me.
We’ve kept a really consistent schedule (not to-the-minute, just general patterns) and she gets lots of exercise and mental stimulation later in the day, so maybe she’s realizing that her needs are going to be met and relaxing is a really cool thing? Regardless, I am quite frankly overjoyed. 😂 It really is the little things!
