Maya, Maya Part 2

Sappho's grand entrance.

After Maya and Maya had settled in, it was time to bring in Sappho. Sappho is an easy going dog but she does get nervous and will start to vocalize and posture. I chose to introduce My Maya first since she is a lot more tolerant of other dogs and rarely gets nervous.

At first we had some posturing and stiff movements, but once both dogs realized the other wasn't going to invade their space they relaxed.

Sappho has a grand love of sniffing and enjoys exploring any new area, especially if it has things she can root under, or root through like brush and heavily planted areas. While the Mayas hung out together, Sappho went off to explore the glorious backyard.

After her thorough investigations of the yard, Sappho came back over and Maya found her pretty interesting.

Teddy Maya decided to hang with Jeff and My Maya, while Sappho tried her paw at wooing Janet.

Teddy Maya took this opportunity to get a thorough set of sniffs in without having to be sniffed in turn!

We could see that Teddy Maya was getting tired, and tired dogs are more prone to making bad decisions or being stressed by interactions they normally handle well. The goal is always to keep Teddy Maya comfortable, so we said our goodbyes and headed out. We look forward to spending more time with Janet, Jeff, and sweet Teddy Maya!

Sappho especially!
