Day 4

Last night was more great progress. I spent lots of time desensitizing Sign all over her body. At first she was not willing to allow me to touch her from the right side, but within minutes we worked through it. I can also touch her entire body without any reaction. I had lots of other people approach and retreat from both sides. She is still on guard but is getting more accepting of human contact. She is very respectful of her handlers space and yields her quarters to very slight pressure. She is progressing quickly with learning to be led (following Sabrina really helps). Almost all of the mud is gone, I know lots of you are interested to see what she looks like sans mud. We took lots of pictures last night, I will get some up by this weekend.
