Summer has got slightly braver over the weekend, and we have enjoyed several walks into the local village. She is still a very stressed and frightened little girl, I can get the lead on her now and have a little stroke, but that is as far as it goes for human contact. Someone has beaten the life out of her almost literally, and it will take a long time before she regains any kind of trust in a human again. We are making a little progress every day, but it is very much a case of doing things at her speed. Here she is enjoying the sunshine this morning anyway.
