00:04 Iris! Hi girl!

00:08 Whatcha doing?

00:12 She would just kind of like sit in this back

00:16 corner behind a planter. Iris, come inside babe, come on!

00:20 Come on! Come on!

00:24 [music]

00:28 She would like come in and she'd like

00:32 poke her head in and then she'd leave. And she'd do that 15 times.

00:36 [music]

00:40 [music]

00:44 Hi!

00:48 Whatcha doing?

00:52 [music]

00:56 [music]

01:00 It's okay Iris, we're going to the house.

01:04 [music]

01:08 [music]

01:12 [music]

01:16 Good girl! Iris, it's okay.

01:20 [music]

01:24 I didn't want to lay on anything so I started covering our basement floor

01:28 with blankets.

01:32 So she would start to learn like I can lay on these

01:36 and I would hide treats in there.

01:40 So then the basement floor became another spot that she really liked.

01:44 When we fed her, I would have to bring her food to wherever she was.

01:48 [music]

01:52 [music]

01:56 [music]

02:00 Good girl!

02:04 [music]

02:08 And then from there I kind of like

02:12 hugged her, pet her more often.

02:16 She would look at me like I don't know

02:20 what you're doing but I like it. I started just kind of like picking her up

02:24 and putting her next to me on the couch.

02:28 So eventually she started

02:32 getting up on her own.

02:36 Good girl!

02:40 [music]

02:44 Hi girl!

02:48 You're both boring. I know that.

02:52 Iris was just sitting there behind a tree and then Max was kind of looking at me

02:56 like can I go see her or should I wait?

03:00 And so for the first couple weeks of introducing them, Max just kind of

03:04 sat there and they just sat with like a distance between them and just sat

03:08 and did absolutely nothing. And then eventually they kind of

03:12 started engaging more. She just started progressing so quickly.

03:16 It was really, really sweet.

03:20 Out of like nowhere, she just started like doing these

03:24 like play bows and barking and I was just

03:28 sitting there like oh my gosh, who is this dog? She was

03:32 frolicking around our yard, pouncing around like this like baby elephant.

03:36 Do you want this ball?

03:40 You do?

03:44 Okay, ready? Go!

03:48 Good girl! It took about three weeks

03:52 after the play bows to be able to get her to walk on a leash.

03:56 Go Max. Max, come.

04:00 Good girl, Iris! Okay!

04:04 Very good!

04:08 We really wanted Iris to

04:12 be with a dog that would pull her out of her shell.

04:16 The first night, she jumped into it right away so she never even thought about it.

04:36 Anywhere Cleo is, she wants to be.

04:40 If Cleo's on the couch, she wants to be next to Cleo.

04:44 Cleo's definitely teaching her how to be a dog.

04:48 We're super lucky to have her. I mean, we love her.

04:52 We love her.
