We got Clara when she was about 12 weeks old, and she hadn’t been handled much before coming to us. She’s always been one of my more cautious girls—no touching, definitely no holding, and absolutely not taking food from my hand.
I’ve spent months just letting her come to me on her own terms, and yesterday she finally did. She stood right next to me, posed for our little selfie, and then ate grapes straight from my hand. 🥹
It might seem like a tiny thing, but when you’ve spent months earning an animal’s trust, that first little “okay, maybe you’re safe” feels pretty damn special. 🖤🐔
Turns out the price of Clara’s friendship was grapes. I could’ve saved us both a lot of time. 😂🍇
