Making some progress

Scout has let me pick her/him up!!! Mom came over to check her out and we both just sat in the bathroom here she/he had made a nest out of a towel. He/she looked really sleepy and to be honest, I was getting worried that it wasn't making it. We cleaned out the extra bedroom closet and made a whole nest area for her/him in there and I picked up the towel with Scout in it and was able to set it down in the closet. I even picked her/him up and put it in the litter box and tried to explain what you do in that...Mom even made peeing noises. I'm not sure if he/she caught on though. JM and I bought some puppy training pads and lined the closet with them, so even if she doesn't use the litter box right away it's ok. He's eaten about 2 small containers of food...totally famished. And now he's back to hissing a bit and a little more active. He seems to like the light off in the closet, I figure that's because it lived under the ramp with no light. But she let me comb her with a flea comb and JM's even allowed to pet her now. Here are some pics from after the move to the closet.

Oh, and to make her a little more lovable...she has a lazy eye.

Notice the tiny head in the middle of the towel bundle?

Mom petting her to show how little she is. Her head's about twice the size of her body.

I can't believe you told everyone I made peeing noises!! Oh, well, it was for a good cause.
