The Fred Report, 6/29/05
No thrilling developments; just small daily progress. Fred no longer hides in the freezer engine nor under the bookcase. When we're moving around the room he just goes to the side where he can keep an eye on everything. Occasionally he'll sit under a chair for safety.
He also spends lots of time on the big pillow in the middle of the floor of my study, sleeping or playing.
We're working to get him to trust our hands, and we're making progress. He'll sniff an outstretched index finger, and he'll cautiously play with a toy that's being held. We should try feeding him treats from our hands; he might go for that. We figure that once he trusts our hands, he'll be pettable. As it is right now, if you touch him, he bolts. Bolts only about 2 feet, mind you; but won't sit still for being touched.
