I am just so proud of my girl, I am bursting at the seams with joy. Hailey acted like a "normal" dog, during our Hanukkah dinner Sunday, even though she didn't know about half the people. She greater everyone enthusiastically, but then she settled. Those who have seen her at these types of things, couldn't believe it!

| Waiting for the guests to come |
I think she was successful for the following reasons:
-Saturday was a big stressful day for her as she had to go to the vet for her Bordetella (having guests over would be less stressful)
-Sunday I gave her puzzle time before the guests came
-Each guest had her sit and go down and gave her a cookie before they left the front hall
-There were no children at the party
-People weren't moving in and out and all around (we hung in the kitchen, the living room and the dining room)
I think this combo, especially with the Man's idea to have each guest give her a treat helped.
We will definitely do a similar thing next time we have people over.
YAY HAILEY!
