Winning Over Espresso

Peeking over the wall... seeing if we are

looking at her - sneaky, sneaky

OK, we may not have her won over yet but she is loosening up a little. Today Pressie actually ran around the house while we were fixing breakfast and (this is big) she went outside BY HERSELF!! Usually we have to drag or carry her out, she is just too petrified to move. But today, she has started going out alone (we still prod her a bit) and coming in by herself. She likes it if we are outside with her, she follows us around unless she thinks we are looking, then she quickly darts off in another direction. She still won't come up to us and won't allow us to approach her if she is off her "safety bed" but she seems to be weakening to our charms.

She wants to be with us, but she doesn't. Today, if we weren't sitting in the living room with her she would run around the house looking for us. Never approaching or staying near us but definitely trying to get us to the LR.

She is such a sweet heart; I just wish she was more dog-like and less scared. She is so scared all the time.
