Day 3 for the rescue!

So, it's day 3 and our rescue is doing amazingly! Colby has named her McKinley - which will make my dad smile to himself. She has been roaming the house, very skittish of sounds and people walking by. She did wag her tail for about 30 seconds this morning when I came to get her to take her outside. She is letting John pet her now, and is even coming up to him - slowly - for him to pet her. When in the fence this morning, she ran for a minute with Buddy, trying to play with him. She seems to be bonding with me, following me from room to room and laying on the floor wherever I go. I let her smell Christian - watching her VERY closely - and I let him touch her. He closed his little fat fingers around the hair on her face and he pulled! She didn't flinch. She still hides under our table or behind the rocker most of the day. . . and I can't get her to eat much at all . . . but she's come around enough in such a short time that I have hope for her. I was worried that she was so far shut down that she wouldn't want to come back. But she does. She's trying her hardest to trust and come back!

The rescue group that we have been working with pays the bills. . . and said that because we had her shaved, it will be a while before anyone will want to adopt her. So, as long as she shows NO agression towards anything, she'll be with us for a while.
