feeling braver

[benjiemum]

This is sweet!

Scaredy cat Benjie remained welded to his duvet and was brave enough to stay in the same room last night when 7 folk visited (book group) and actually talked and laughed in his presence! (I told them not to look at him )

This afternoon he must have felt flushed with success because he insisted on leaning on 2 folk whose previous acquaintance this past 2 1/2 yrs he will accept, but doesn't actually seek out. I had to drag him away!

What a big brave boy he has become - I am VERY proud indeed

Boycey's dad Chris will smile because he can do anything with him

Well done

Still jumpy in our house ALthough ranger does like to come up and have a sniff at newbies

that is brilliant progress!

Benjie reverted yesterday and backed off shaking as violently as I have ever seen when a new lady came to the house to cut my hair (she was rather loud ) but she was asked to ignore him and hey he crept back into the lounge to observe the proceedings.

I think these shy ones feel understandably threatened by well meaning folk making direct eye contact whilst advancing slowly but purposefully shouting "ISN'T HE LOVELY!!!" - I'd be a bit nervous myself

have a good weekend and thrilled to see on other post that Alan may get a mention in dispatches
