Glad to read Fat Bird made the jump. That's impressive.

My Bella has regressed.
I took her and Skittles to the fields again and had to drag her out of the car then sweet talk her into moving. We got just past where the pavement ends and she locked up. I was jumping around, high pitched talking making an ass out of myself to try to convert her nervous energy into excitement to get her moving. Didn't work but I put on a good show for another couple that was running their dog.
I turned and started towards the car and she unlocked but as soon as I started easing my way back out, she'd lock up again and just stand there trembling.
I finally got her moving with me in very large circles in the field between my car and the main drive of the Field Day Grounds.
Skittles found the whole thing very confusing.

That looks good Ron.

I had some of the bread with left over beef soup. It was very good!

High point of the day today was seeing Fat Bird (she's almost ten years old) launch herself off the edge of my roof!
Her landing wasn't all that pretty and for one dreadful moment I thought she might have injured herself. Any injury at that age is dangerous.
My roof is a bit over 10 feet above ground. That's quite a jump.
Something had scared her enough to push her to do it but I didn't see what it was.

It is impressive that she made it up there and back down at that age!

I've got to be honest and write I find that incredibly sad for both of you.
I hope you can give her the confidence she needs.

Now that's what I could do with. I think I'll use up the last of my beef stew.

I was impressed Penny, as you can probably tell.

I've never even heard of such a thing. I've never had any breed of dog that didn't want to run off leash let alone walk in huge fields and wooded paths. She's going to take a lot of work, that's for sure.

Fear the gsd was that scared in the beginning and we did not take her out of the yard first month
