Despite the rough blow of having Nikki missing, I'm finding some consolation in the progress of Marigold coming out of her shell. When I adopted her she was very shy and nip at anyone who would try to touch her and she would stay by herself and it didn't help her to have Daisy chase her upstairs! Now Marigold comes down and lays beside me on the couch and should I stop petting her, she'll nuzzle me, and no nipping at all! I'm starting to see if she'll pick up the concept of playing with toys!
