Raezor did her first stranger runaways in a brand new forest. She showed great drive and great focus and was thrilled to pieces to party with a new subject. And her hitting and following the scent cone was an absolute thing of beauty. She had a blast!!!!
Later we went to Station 17, where she explored the woods, and showed more of her independence that will be invaluable. When we made it to the lake, she watched Kaeden swim with envy. She wanted to do what he was doing. She wanted to be where he was. But she couldn't bring herself to do it. She climbed the rocks, and then scrambled BACKWARDS up them. She flitted about on shore, getting her toes wet, then her legs... but still, she couldn't quite screw up the courage.
And then she just did it. Leaped from shore with all her might and splashed in. Much to her surprise, water is wet and you sink when you hit. But, true to form, up she came and swam with all her might back to shore.
And I suspect, that is how she will be with most things. Jumping in with all four feet and figuring out how to swim.
