Now that my husband is deployed, it's just me and Ammy, and we've been working on socializing and getting used to the harness. I've gotten over my fear of her completely, and in response, she's gotten comfortable with me. I've gotten her to the point where she lays on my shoulder and just lets me go about my day.
Today, it was a lovely warm day, so we went outside, and she met some neighborhood children. She did just fine right up until one of them screamed, then she decided she had had enough and attempted to burrow into my hair.
But she did wonderfully with being social, and little by little, I'm getting her to the point where she lets me handle her freely. I'm still amazed at how laid-back she is. She just finds herself a warm spot of grass, sprawls out, and there she stays for however long she wants, just being lazy grass lizard.
Now if I can just start getting her to quit crapping on the good carpet and at least go on the linoleum! lol.
One final thing to share, I got video of her eating today. She decided to let me know that she wanted food RIGHT NOW so she actually tore open a trashbag and scattered trash everywhere. So while I was cleaning up, I gave her the food she was hunting for. This time, just a can of sardines (rare treat, she goes nuts over anything fish).
