August 29th - Misha and Tim Time
My boyfriend, Tim, took Misha to a local bar with his friend. This bar is dog friendly so it's a perfect place have Misha to socialize. Apparently, Ms. Misha was shoving her head into my boyfriend's friend's hands to get petted. At the bar, she was very friendly and welcoming!

Tutoring
Misha with Alex, the 5th grader I tutor.
Ok with him, it seems.
Her body language is somewhat nervous but the fact that she would even approach him is leaps and bounds from where she used to be.

The Beach, The Misha, The Children 8/25/2014
Late Post. 8/25/2014
Misha absolutely loves the beach. But today, she loved the beach and the people in it.
She went up to every stranger she saw - so much so that I had to call her to stop annoying people. She not only allowed them to pet her, but she was interested in what they were doing, what they had, the other dogs at the beach, and her overall surroundings. She is gaining confidence and the beach is another place to water the bond plant. =)
The most impressive thing Misha did today was hang out with kids on her own. Some girls were playing with the sand and Misha decided she was going to keep them and their moms company.
Such a huge step!
Second Class in Agility
Misha's second class in agility proved to be a success. This is something she really enjoys and I am loving bonding with her. She is not only agile, but very responsive to commands.
The trainer even suggested to register her with AKC as a mixed breed in order to compete. Not only was she impressed but she saw true potential in us as a team. Her success, however, depends on me - I've realized agility training is more about the handler than the dog. The dog will follow - it takes practice to lead. Our bond is strong, though, and Misha is pretty consistent and always willing to learn. I'm excited to start her on a more consistent schedule - this will surely strengthen our bond further.
Attached are some pictures and videos of her progress on the course.
