Well, I've got some unfortunate news.

Things are not going well with Freya. She's showing less and less interest in us and in being inside every day. Since she found a burrow of sorts under the back deck, it's become her hiding spot. She's not responding when we call her, and she no longer accepts bribes treats to coax her out.

Yesterday, she did come in the house for a minute (to steal another one of Tatianna's stuffed animals for her cubby hold) and when Julie opened the front door to check on the mail delivery, Freya hit full speed and ran out the front door. Julie's bad leg didn't let her chase, fortunately the next door neighbors were home and helped corral her. Freya has pretty much ignored The Boss ever since.

It's looking like a poor match, and that's not fair to her either.

I'm waiting to hear back from the shelter. She's going to have to go back. I really hate to do it, but I don't think we have a choice.
