Nebo seems to have made improvement in the past two days. On his walk tonight he encountered a woman, 2 men and a group of children. He was not scared of the woman at all (seemed pretty interested in the cookies she was carrying ). He was a bit timid with the second man, but not bad. He took the treat ok but didn't really let him pet him. The second man he actually went up to him, and sniffed/licked his hand (now he's expecting them from everyone! ) and acted just fine with him. My dad stopped to talk to the guy (about trucks..lol) and Nebo was ok the entire time.

We ran into a group of kids on the way back. I made him sit and he was very nice about letting them pet him, and he took treats nicely from him.

Now here's the funny thing........a few days ago we went by this house with a fake scarecrow guy with a pumpkin head. It's right by the sidewalk. It scared the crap out of Nebo when we passed it the first time. He was totally freaked. I figured it could pass as a stranger, so I put some treats leading up to it and a nice big one on his lap. Nebo took the bait....now every time we pass the scarecrow he hurries over to it and sniffs it all over looking for his goodies.

I hope he'll be ok with strangers at his class tomorrow!
