Shelly is not as brave as Bobby. Still no touching allowed but she will come over for treats and to say hello when you come in.
Today Shelley and Bobby were watching me clean my car from the front room window, that's only the 2nd time she has got up on the sofa that we have seen.
She is a wonderful little character and is starting to come out of her shell love4.gif

Shelley is settling well and although we still cannot touch them they are feeling much more at home and seem happy. Shelley is the more cautious of the two and can scare easily if you are not careful.
We get a lovely welcome through the window pulling up on the drive and very waggy tails and they both come running over but only to a certain distance.
In the past few days she seems to be getting a little braver so I am sure in time she will settle come out of her shell.
And relax....
And relax....

Shelley is continuing to come out if her shell. We are still tiki g things slowly and at her pace. She is definitely the more reserved of the two and less playful although she is getting more active.
Shelley gets excited when you come home and runs over to say hello but a sniff of your hand is all you get before she moves away. She is less keen to explore than Bobby and often watches him playing with toys with a confused look on her face but she will learn to have fun soon I am sure. She is a lovely little girl but still very cautious.

I am so delighted that these two are progressing well. Living in a good home must be wonderful for them. I think of them often and wish them both all the best for the future. I hope that they can stay together. Heart fill with love.gif]
In the meantime, we now have our lovely Rosie (staffy cross) who is adorable and we love her to bits.

Shelley has become part of our family for now and we are enjoying having her to stay. In some ways I don't feel we have made much progress but in others we clearly have as she is so pleased so see us when we come in, jumping around like a little lamb and dashing over to us. BUT she still does not want to be touched and will move away if you push it. I can't bear to see her hiding away so we are not trying to do anything she is not comfortable with.
The lovely pair have not been going outside as they were just hiding in a corner on top of each other when we first tried so we didn't pursue this. However, with the sunnier weather we have decided to put them in a crate to take them out of the house and onto the grass and give them a small area to feel safe in but still enjoy the grass and the warm sun on them.
They seem to like this.

Shelley now wears her pretty pink collar and has had a couple of baths but other than that we are no closer to touching on a regular basis. Bobby can be a little greedy and eat her food if she isn't quick enough so at the moment we are feeding them separately and she is tucking in to her food with gusto! love4.gif
