It is all I can do not to cry happy tears this morning:
I've been bringing Pirate in the house on leash. Last night, I let the other dogs in. She watched from just beyond the door. I could see the wheels turning in her little head. I called her name and she decided yup, it's safe and I'm allowed. She came through the door on her own. She got a drink, sniffed a litterbox and trotted to her crate! She knows this is her home now!
Pirate awoke to a clean, dry blanket! Not even a dribble in her crate overnight!
This morning I let her out into the main yard. I don't think she needs to be in her own little pen anymore. I went to let Kayleigh out of the shop. When I came out, I saw Pirate
RUNNING beside Tehya! Not sprinting and only for about 30 feet, but she was
RUNNING!! Tail up, husky grin on her face, running!
Sometimes you get a day filled with little miracles!
