Lanie's Log - Day 79

 It has been 79 days since my capture. 

The wardens have now given me full access to the house, but I don't use it when they are awake. My cell is my safe place. 

In spite me not leaving the room during the day, the wardens are pleased with my progress. I continue to love pets (who knew people touching you could be nice), I will come down to eat when they are in the room, and sometimes, I just come down and hang out at a distance.  The wardens have noticed I also don't eat all my food right away. I seem to understand more food will be coming.

The wardens have been experimenting with removing my anxiety meds. They are doing this because they will be away for a few days in January and a substitute guard will be caring for us. This guard will struggle to give me the medication the way it is and the people wanted to see if I needed it and they needed to get it in liquid form, or if I was trusting enough to not have it. Turns out, I am trusting enough to not have it at this time.  This may be a good change.

In other news, Styx comes to visit me. He seems to want to be my friend but can't stop himself from growling at me. I don't react. I know he is not a threat. We will see how this relationship unfolds.

For now, I am sort of glad to not be outside. It has been very, very cold here (-24C/-11F) and I must admit, it is nice to be inside.

  5. We are so happy that you live inside now, Lanie. Those temps are too cold to want to be outside! I think, in time, that you and Styx will become friends. We sure hope so.
