In the apartment, on the leash, around people, around other dogs, and even around feeding times, Éva is generally calm and alert to the point that she seems depressed and fearful still.  But, when she encounters sand, and occasionally a large, grassy field without other people around, something clicks and she becomes an excitable dog, running in circles with her tail between her legs.

I didn’t get her in mid-air, but it was close.  It’s hard to imagine this dog didn’t have the confidence to walk down stairs a couple of months ago.

Éva shakes a lot.
