ENRICHMENT NOTES:
03/05/18
Lying in back of kennel, body neutral. She allows petting along her head and body while turning her head to watch my hand, then begins to raise her rear each time my hand passes along her back. She leans in for cheek rubs. Timid and shy, begins to warm up with interaction.
03/06/18
Lying in litterbox, body low and ears forward. Raises head and makes eye contact when spoken to. She leans in with her head once touched and allows petting along her head and body while rolling over onto her side and continuing to lean in. Very sweet, allows all petting and appreciates attention once approached. Did well today. Not too interested in treats, would rather be pet and interacted with.
