Just a quick note to let you know Gracie is doing well. She is a joy for all of our family and is (I think) almost fully adjusted to us.
She is much more relaxed and displays less and less anxiety. Until recently, she was still wary of the back yard. But seems to be getting over it this week. Last night we remarked about how much more calm she is around us. The first few weeks if anyone was walking around the house, Gracie would be up and following them around. Now, she is content to relax in the evenings even when people are moving around. I think this was an adjustment of living in a house with 4 people.
We gave her her first wash over the weekend and she was an extremely good sport about it. She enjoys her walks (1-2 per day) and loves playing chase in the yard. When she first arrived the game seemed to be as much about working out her anxiety as fun. Her approach to it now is decidedly lighthearted.
A photo of her favorite pose (which I am sure you will recognize is attached). We have also learned that she loves to be out in the yard for a while after dark. She LOVES to chase and eat flying bugs. Our front porch light and light door seem to attract moths and other flying bugs which Gracie seems to think are dessert. If you use drop box, I will put in a video of her catching and eating a dragon fly. 1—we were amazed she caught it and 2—stunned that she ate it.
