Thank you all for making me feel welcome! I can't wait to grow and learn.
Just to re-up my query, though you've given me little cause for concern; what was she doing when she was pressing in around my hand and then loosening repeatedly?

Also, today's task is to rip up the undershirt I have on today (I showered sans soap!) and leave a couple shreds in her hides so she associates my scent with safety.
