Happy 3rd Year Adoption Day for Lady Flame

Original photo from the pet finder site on July 21, 2012

Today is Lady Flame's 3rd year with us. It seems amazing that we have had her for so long. 

Look at those worried eyes... Our girl will always be afraid of the world...

It is silly how pleased I get when she dares to come over for me to pet her. 

Look at her drippy nose. She was nervous having her photo taken at the kennel on her intake.

Today, I actually got her to loosen up her lips a bit as she was being pet, because usually she has her mouth clamped tight with nervousness. Tiny, baby steps toward progress...
