Mama is so proud of me. See, I's scared of uvver peeples. Peeples tha's not my mama or my furmily. When mama an I is walkin an uvver peeples comes 'round I barks an tries to hide behind mama. The peeples 'lways wanna pet me an it scares me cuz I don' know 'em. Mama tries to tell the peeples to jus i'nore me an lets me sniff 'em before they tries to touch me but they don' listen.

Well, 2 times now the peeples listened an I's getting braver wif 'em.

We went to a park an there were some big kids playin. Mama tole 'em to jus i'nore me an they did. I went by 'em but I dinnit bark. I watched 'em. I was kinda curious but too scared to go too close. Mama was very happy.

Today we was at a church where we plays. A man came ina car (he was the pastor of the church). Mama tole him I's skittish wif strangers so he jus talked wif mama fur a few minutes. I sniffed him a little an then I let him get my ball an frow it fur me. I even let him pat me ona head--1 time.
As we was walkin home I seed 2 peeples an I watched 'em but I walked right by. No barkin or hidin.

I's gettin braver!!

You's & me has the 'ESACT same problem. I's too doesn't trust stangers until I's had a chance to sniff them on my own! I's too is a 'nipper' if they's trys to touch me without my 'pawmission. I's thinks it's rude to try & touch a pup without getting 'pawmission!

Yay, Bear!!! :o) You are just a very smart and cautious doggie! I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable around people - especially those that actually *listen* to your momma's instructions! ;o)
