Confidence

November 2, 2012 by Jackie

Negra did a little bit more exploring of Young’s Hill this morning. She ventured out very confidently right when I opened the door and walked out to the nearest log structure. She sat down and seemed pretty comfortable to me, especially since I have only seen her in this spot a couple of times- the first only being last week.

After a little bit, she seemed to lose some of her confidence though and was looking for a little bit of reassurance from her friends.

And Jamie was happy to oblige

The reassurance from Jamie seemed to inspire Negra to be a little more adventurous and she went further than I’ve seen her go on the hill. She seemed very proud of herself.

    It was so nice to watch Jamie run to Negra when she out reached her hand asking for reassurance. It was a special moment between the two. A very special moment to for me to witness.

    Day by day, step by step, with a little help from some friends. A truly rewarding experience to watch this journey for Negra.
