Roughly every two weeks we host a Dungeons & Dragons party. We sit around playing with handfuls of dice, scrawling maps on paper, and generally cutting up as our characters adventure around a world that exists only in our heads. It is a lot of fun, and the dogs get several hours of human attention and socialization.
This Saturday marked the fourth time Lucia has met Evan, a gentleman who loves her but whom had to earn her trust over several meetings. Everyone is great about not making direct eye contact or trying to touch her, and Lucia has learned she can hang around visitors without having to worry about her space being invaded. This consideration for Lucia gave her confidence to ask for some attention from Evan for the first time!

We had a new player join us this week, Kip. Lucia showed a lot of interest in him from the start, but she moved at her own pace with him.

Something about Kip drew her - perhaps his calm, inviting nature - and she couldn't stay away!

And eventually Lucia sidled up to Kip and got some pets from him - a person she had only known for a couple hours! Great job!
All
that hard work being corageous and asking for attention from new people
wore her out, and soon she crashed out on a doggy bed.
The excitement also wore Maya and Sappho out too!
