I was so concerned about finding Deb, I was stunned to discover her waiting on the couch for me as soon as I was through the door. We got through dinner without too many issues. Everyone are at least some of each of their courses, and I left what was unfinished for them to graze through the evening. Deb joined us for play afterwards, though more cheering Gigi on as he hunted strings and new toys alike. 🙂 It was a great friendly visit with no anxiety. And that’s how making friends should feel! 🥰
