Day nine with a very scared rescue

She eats, she uses the garden, she will not be touched. Flinches at hands even when they are nowhere near her. The rescue said she was found as a stray and nothing more is known. I am not expecting miracles. I would just like to know I am doing the right things.

    Day nine is very early. The rule of thumb a lot of people use is three days to decompress, three weeks to settle, three months to feel at home. You are still in the first bit.

    Stop reaching for her entirely for a while. Sit on the floor, read out loud, ignore her completely. Boring humans are safe humans.

    Reading out loud sounds daft and I am absolutely going to try it.

    It is not daft. Mine learned my voice weeks before she let me touch her.
