First meeting

So now we're all here in Storön, Sweden. The sun is shining and the dogs are sleeping.

The last few days has been a bit hectic. We arrived in Geneva on the 28th to take the plane, but we were late and had to run around like crazy. Vazy managed the trip easily, and was not even stressed when we fetched her afterwards. We stayed in Stockholm one day and were invited to a BBQ, of course Vazy was a favourite as usual. She also managed to stay calm in a small flat with a cat! The day after we were walking around in Stockholm, and Mathieu had his job interview. All good.



After the second plane in two days, Vazy was a bit more stressed and barley seemed to notice Aila when they first met. Aila was screaming, she's really vocal. Talks all the time. The first day Vazy ignored her, and Aila has really understood that she's the boss. Everything went better than expected! Today they've been playing for the first time even. They're soon gonna become good friends!




Aila is really good! She's staying close on walks (even closer than Vazy, that thinks it's vacation and rabbit hunting time), she's good at coming when called and she's really fun. When you take out the clicker she goes mad and throws up all the behaviours she knows in 2 seconds. Gonna have to work on putting commands and all.
Today we also managed to cut the claws on one of her paws (which hasn't been possible for quite some time, since she can't stay still).

Mathieu is really good with them and all of us are playing a lot. When we're on walks I run out in the forest and jumps over trees, up on stones, changes directions, and both dogs are running with me. Aila is really good at getting around already! So for now everything is super good. When Mat has left I'm going to start their real
training, and take them out separatley every day. Then we have to leave them alone a bit every day too. Vazy seems a bit calmer in Ailas company when left alone....
So as you can see it's all going according to plan and even better!
