It has been a little over a week since Daisy came home and she is doing very well. Her adjustment to mirrors and windows were not a big deal. However, slippery hardwood floors are still a little tricky—when she gets excited she tends to slip and her limbs start flailing like octopus arms. Daisy's biggest obstacle has been the stairs. There are two sets in the home. The carpeted stairs took a little coaxing but she conquered them within an hour. However, the second set was an entirely different story. They were hardwood and a bit slippery. Daisy refused to use them even after carpet was installed. With some more patience and coaxing (and treats!) she did eventually get over her fear and darted up the stairs to be with me. It was such a huge relief and a big milestone for her! Previously, she got very anxious whenever I went upstairs. Now she has no excuse not to join me.
