Small steps = Big praise

I am just in awe of this girl each day.  Such spunk, such drive, such tenacity. She has started sleeping on my bed at night.  For the last 3 nights she has actually hopped her little self on my bed at night and nuzzles herself next to my legs for the night. However, I think she sleeps with one eye open because if I even think of patting her, she quickly hops off the bed.  Luckily she will jump right back up and settles down again.  Tiny little progress but it means so much considering the state she was in when she come home to me.  Today is one month since I brought her home.  She has come so far yet has so very far to go.

This picture is just so cute.  The fact that her eyes are closed (which I am sure was a blink) just makes me think I captured her taking her first deep breath of peacefulness and relief. I know that is a little mushy but she does that to me. :)
