Wendy and the Anatolians,
After a little while we took both of them to a local obedience event for some more socialization. I was so proud of Ayla, she was on her best behavior, no more lunging to get to the other dogs, no whining about wanting to meet all the other dogs, she was just perfect. Still loves to meet and greet as many people as possible, she has always been very polite about that. And she sure knows how to get them to keep petting her when they want to stop.
We had a little visitor today. Wendy is an 11 week old Airedale Terrier who lives in Las Vegas. She and Ayla had a good time, Ayla was very gentle with her and Wendy took it all in stride, lots of things to explore. It always amazes me how Ayla immediately picks up on it if another dog isn't quite sure what to do. 
She was just very calm and seemed to enjoy just hanging out with the little puppy. 
The funniest thing was when Ayla was lying down and Wendy started digging right next to Ayla, who didn't seem to be sure what to do about that.

After the trip to the obedience event it was Leydi's turn to meet the puppy. After a couple of minutes of drooling on the puppy, yes, Leydi was drooling, she went into playmode and Wendy got quite excited about that. These two really had fun and did some playing, it was interesting to see how Leydi was very careful not to step on the puppy.
I am so happy about my big girls who can be so gentle with this little visitor. When it was time for Wendy to leave her mommy Debbie put her in a crate in our parking area in front of the garage so she could come back into the house to have some water, Leydi insisted to stay with the puppy and waited next to the crate until we came back. She wasn't going to leave that puppy out there by herself.
It will be fun to have Wendy coming back, when she gets a little bigger and more robust she and my girls will be racing around and having fun.
