A word about pity.... you feel bad about her life before she met you. She's living in a new world now. You're giving her a great life... what's to pity at this time? You'll only confuse her more... be happy and enjoy her in the 'now'. I'm sure she wants to forget her past too!
Washing the PJ's may help, if they're the problem. Just do your normal routine, and try not to look at her when coming out of the shower. She will learn what is normal for you and that memory should fade with time. Or a light robe over the PJ's?
Shampoo... maybe get another brand and add it to your favorite... may change the smell enough.... if that's the problem. Remember only change one thing at a time. |
Thanks again for the help. Our home has 2 floors, so when I confine her in 1 or 2 rooms, it would be my room and say my brother's room? So she'll eat in the 2 rooms? or am I allowed to bring her downstairs for mealtime? I think she found a spot downstairs when she's all alone, she stays by the stairs. I actually let her roam freely in the house, but when I'm around she follows me around. I close the door leading to the dirty kitchen where the maids room are so she's not tempted to stay there and she has gotten used to staying inside the house even if the door is open. She usually follows me everywhere in the daytime, it's during night time when I'm preparing to shower and when I get out of the shower and when it's bedtime that she starts acting up.
As for the PJs, i had them washed today and I've changed my shampoo, still didn't work. I think it may be my scent after the shower coz I went out today after I showered, so when she saw me after my shower, I was wearing different clothes but still the same reaction. I come out of the shower with my hair down. When I left, since my hair was still wet i let it down, but when I came home, my hair was already up so she was all excited. I turned off all the lights and came up, that's it she came up 2 steps then went down. I had to carry her up to my room for bedtime coz it was too hot downstairs. I think it may also be the bedtime thing. the fact that she knows I'm going to bed and she'd have to stay with me.
I also do my own thing after i shower, i come out and not bother her and do my own thing. I do call her though without looking at her so I guess I have to ignore her right after the shower and stuff.
