Seattle, I think you did great today. Again, I wouldn't read too much into it, but a good day isn't a bad day--and that counts for something. The only thing I might advise is to still back off a tiny bit. For example, when you ask to come by for the dog again, instead of you picking a specific time, ask her what day would be good to come by. Give her some control from the outset. Hang in there my friend.
