Gracie's big day out

Hello all. This past Sunday we took Gracie to my mother in laws house for Easter. Some group of family and other animals. Gracie stayed in the house the whole time but always with either me or hubby. She did well. She went to his mom and said hello, as she has done before. They first met here at our house and Gracie kissed her then. We also put her in a carrier and had her sit outside for a few with us. She also went to his brother and treated him well. She was out a few hours that day and has'nt seemed to be bothered by it. So today (Sat.) we went to my best friends house for an all day picnic/wedding party. Of corse Gracie stayed in the house all day, she was always loose. While I was inside she was right with me, then if I stepped out I had a whole room to put her in (was Gracie proofed before getting there). She seemed to have a good time. Lot's going on she sat with me and watched out windows alot and I would tell her about everything going on. Different times I would have a few people at a time come to see her and ask questions. She did great with all of that and although she would'nt use any words she knows she made sounds, whistled, and danced to show off for them. My best friend is the new bride and Gracie went to her hubby,then to her. Another friend Jeff got some love from her as well, and she liked my bride friend's dad. When my hubby got there after work, she was glad to see him as well. My friends children are like my own and they will be the one's and/or their kids to get my feathered babies and anything else I have to pass down once I'm gone, so I started talking to them about all this months before Gracie found us. Making sure they were interested and willing. They are still very young, but I want them and Gracie to know each other well. I want them to learn her body laugage too so many moons down the road it will be easier on Gracie and them. Well we spent the whole day out there and she did great. I will always be picky about who actually handle's her and on guard about who she choose's to check out, but I do want her to be as social as possible and not fear being in the same room with other people or animals. As of tommorrow we will have had Gracie one month. So far so good. Definetly no complantes. She has surprised me with how well she's doing. I hope to give her a life where she will always feel comfortable enough to like me and hubby both. Her thinking he's her boyfriend does'nt bother me since she is so good with me also. At time's she will leave him to come to me and I can take her from him as well. Sorry to go on so long about her I'm just so proud A journal is on it's way for her. So I can keep up with her days.
