Cinder had a very busy day yesterday. Her day started with an appearance at the OccuPaws Dog Jog where she met up with her canine pals. In between wrestling with Promise, she met a few new people, dogs, and costumed cow.

One of the EMTs put on his equipment to greet all the dogs. None had issues, until they sounded the siren. Then Promise's tail disappeared between her legs and she wanted to get as far away as possible.

After the Dog Jog, we returned home to a house full of humans. Cinder was so exhausted from the morning that she retreated to her crate to get a little peace and quiet. After napping for a couple hours she reappeared and happily greeted everyone. Her favorite part of the day was either playing with the kids or cleaning up after them.

Cinder has a milder aversion to loud noises than Promise and it is an issue that needs to be worked on. So to build on the success of yesterday, we took Cinder to the Syttende Mai parade in Stoughton. The sirens were not an issue. Initially the bands made her somewhat uncomfortable, especially the drums. After the twelfth band she was doing much better. The kiss from one of her many fans might have helped calm her.

Cinder did not appreciate the large (costumed) dog; she didn't want anything to do with him. She did like all the pets that she received form the children and adults. She was extremely interested in the many horses that passed. She seemed to be able to smell them before she saw them.
