Gone off in a huff, part 2

Minxie - you must be, quite rightly, very proud of yourself! ?

Thank you everyone. It does feel good I have to say

That's incredible. Took me a few seconds to realise it was from you. What a change of thought process.

You deserve a medal and DH should provide the chocolate.

Well done minxie. I bet your DH and family were delighted. You have made a big step all on your own. Don't be over optimistic and test yourself too far. Setbacks can upset things. Just take it easy and progress slowly. Wonderful achievement ?

This is great news, Minxie, what a star! I'm sure the family felt justly proud of you making the effort and overcoming your fear. Just take it one step at a time and good luck with the next stage. The company and loyalty of a dog can be so very rewarding.

Don’t think you need a chocolate treat.....a huge box or even better a great big choice cake..well done you!

Hey well done you - that's great news and probably a relief for everyone else concerned too. I was terrified of dogs when I was a child - one jumped up and scratched me when I was very little and also my aunt had a really grumpy dog who I was always told not to go near. I only got over it when I fell in love with a puppy in the pet shop window next door to us when I was 9 and begged my dad to buy him.

That's really good news. Well done to you.

Well done minxie you deserve
Family life will be easier all round now.

Well done minxie.

That is good news, glad it went well. The family must have been delighted. Take it slowly, I still don’t like barking dogs or if they are running around off lead. small steps, This is a great start, well done.

Well done, give yourself a big pat on the back - and good luck with that help!

What I think this shows is that you were willing to give it a go. Well done. It’s not easy to overcome a fear but wanting to is a big part of it.

Minxie, I hope you got that chocolate reward. It was such a huge step and I think you were brave to share it with us. I hope you all had a lovely day and many more to come.

Well done minxie
I think you’ll find that overcoming your fear as you have done has all sorts of knock-on benefits for you.

Well done from me too.

minxie Well done. Dogs are not my favourite and I can understand your feelings. Hope all goes well.

Well done

That is a big step forward

Well done. What a huge step forward. The in-laws (and OH) must be happy if they are aware of the effort you made. ??

Well done! ?

That's great news, minxie! Well done and keep up the good work! ?

well done

Well done, you have been very brave - AND earned a lot of brownie points from your family.

Oh well done . Great achievement on your part.

well done. I'm so glad that you did this, for your dh as well as for yourself.

Just think how your life has now changed already
