Pressed up against the back wall of the kennel, hiding underneath the blanket. Seems very uncomfortable. Her body tenses up and she tries to inch away. Not interested in treats. Kept interaction short due to stress.

At front of kennel, ears forward and body relaxed. Chirps and steps towards me when spoken to. Allows petting along head and body while leaning in and raising tail. Doing well!
