Getting to touch

I am attending the BlogPaws Conference in the DC area and wondering whether I’ll make it home tomorrow night. While I’m away Nibbles is being boarded with a woman who offers home boarding. He’s been there before and it was a fabulous experience for him. He made new and continuing progress. After a few days back with me he began to display behaviors that he had been showing while boarding.

Here’s a short video of Nibs approaching me for handling. He has begun to do this more, jumping up on the bed in the morning, racing around the room trying to initiate play. He’s still wary of approaching me if I’m standing. I’ll keep giving him the chance to get used to me, whatever my posture.
