About a year ago Steve and I watched Bailey (from the photos below) run right thru the screen door at Dan and Pam's house. The screen split right down the middle. Luckily, Bailey was not hurt.
This week Maggie went right thru our screen door. She's fine, too.
Our painters started Monday and all the furniture is moved around - - it has Maggie out of sorts (to say the very least). In a moment of nervous confusion Maggie went right thru the screen. She's ok and that's what is most important. The screen needed to be replaced anyway.
While the accident is similar, the circumstances are not. Bailey was happily playing and bouncing around when she blissfully ran thru their screen. Maggie, on the other hand, was anxious and nervous and frantically scrambled thru ours.
We talk a lot in the blog about Maggie's accomplishments, but even after three months of being safe and well cared for in our home she still can't let go of her past and relax in her new environment.
When we're out and about everyone who meets Maggie comments on her beautiful eyes and timid nature. Those are two of the many things that make her so sweet (another word often used by people who meet Maggie). But, it's the fact that everyone focuses on her timid nature that stands out to me - - it reminds me that Maggie still has a lot of progress to make.
