It's been 3 weeks since we brought Willow home!

She spends the majority of her time in the guest room but does prefer to sleep with us in bed at night! She does not leave the top floor for the most part, although she may go down there when we're asleep, and she doesn't hide nearly as much these days.

Progress!

A very relaxing week of eating, getting tattoos, reading, and playing video games. It makes up for the very unrelaxing week of your favorite hockey team crashing and burning.
