Saffy bounced out of the car and didn't seem bothered about being in another strange place. She followed Dora about. There were lots of dogs about and Saffy said hello to lots of them and to several people.
She was quite confident meeting a Doberman, a Goldie, and lots of other dogs. There were lots of people walking round the pond and a couple of times Saffy started following other people but she soon realised and came to look for us.
I took a ball with us and threw it for Dora, Saffy joined in a bit but kept chasing Dora rather than the ball. I put Dora on the lead for a bit and Saffy did play with the ball then.
We went round to the shallow area and threw the ball into the water for Dora. Dora splashed in to fetch the ball and Saffy chased her only to find herself up to her neck in water. She looked really surprised. I forgot she wouldn't know about water yet.
After that Saffy was very careful to stay out of the water. (it hasn't stopped her drinking with both front feet in the bowl though)
while we were playing in the water there was a little boy watching us. about 2 or 3 years old. He said to his dad that he wanted to buy Saffy. Luckily dad said no. The little boy came over to stroke Saffy who tried to lick his face. She hasn't met any children this small before but seemed to quite like the boy.
