Gaby, Gabibab or Gabs is my work in progress. Unlike most other greyhounds she is genuinely uninterested in humans. She will say hello, accept treats, enjoy having her ears rubbed, but on the whole she is very self possessed and prefers to do her own thing. Which is either playing with the other dogs or keeping a look out for anything that must be barked at. With Gaby it is the tiny, tiny steps that represents milestones. Such as when she stopped spending hours refusing to come inside. These days it takes about ten minutes if she is in her feral mood. Or when she came up to me on her own accord and asked for an ear rub. Today was another milestone. When Atlas and Milly played a little too roughly for her liking, she suddenly moved behind me for protection. Gaby has never before sought me out for protection. She has never looked upon me as a resource who can help her. But today she did. It's a great day.
