I've been hiding some of Gracie's favorite snacks around the yard so that she is rewarded for snooping around the yard more. I'm basically hoping to "get her mind off" whatever is weirding her out.

Fortunately she is acting less and less fearful, but is only spending marginally more time in the yard. In fact, I put her out to use the bathroom about 40 minutes ago and she is just lounging in one of her old favorite spots. Normally I would have brought her back in by now, but I figure as long as she's happy and outside I might as well use it.
