Amazing Night with Millie

[kelza]

I'm just so excited about this, and I had to share with others who understand. My standoff-ish hybrid Millie instigated playtime tonight! She actually chattered and made enough noise to get my attention then promptly jumped into my hand to be lifted out. She ran around my desk checking everything out, ignored the treats (odd for her). Her favorite game tonight was stopping at the edge of the desk to wait for my hand, then jump into my hand to give me nose bumps and even one lick! Needless to say I melted a bit at that.

The whole thing only lasted about 5 minutes before she gave me a sharp nip, her way of signaling she's done being social. It was so amazing, I never thought to have even one session like this with her. It's also a little bittersweet as she is 15 months old and I've seen a lot of old age signs come on in the last 2 weeks.
