It saddens me when, once in a long while, Lucy shows a little sign of the ill treatment that lead to her being on the streets and to her eventual rescue and placement with us.

Like tonight when out of a sound sleep she woke with a start and retreated to her crate to hide in the back. It took quite a bit of coaxing and a couple of cookies to bring her out and back to her normal ease.

I am glad these incidents happen so seldom.
