Since we all are here for her and plan to share responsibility for her care and well-being, I'm not sure how to address this. On the one hand, it has only been three days and I'm certainly glad that she isn't pining for her foster home. On the other hand, I don't want to start off with reinforcing a negative behavior. Any thoughts based on your own experience? Many thanks. |
You may want to try putting a bandana around your neck so it picks up your smell, then letting her wear it so that your smell is always right near her nose...she may find that soothing. I think as she learns, over time, that you're not going to disappear she'll become more settled. Bless your heart for taking in this kiddo - she sounds SO sweet!
