Yes, Bonnie Bons has really come so far just lately! She will come and rub all over our legs now and enjoys being petted as well. She is still a bit nervous and will move about alot while you are petting her, but I have even ventured enough to pick her up and pet her briefly then put her back down. She tolerates it well, I just am trying to let her see that being picked up isn't always a "bad" thing!
