Maybe, Just Maybe

Noma was laying down in her spot outside. Mattie was laying beside her. Mattie got up and Noma stayed down. Normally when I get anywhere close to her, she jumps up and gets away from me. This particular day she did not get up. I was able to get close enough to pet her on her back without her jumping up. Once she got tired of it, she did get up. I felt it was a small step to winning her trust. I just wish she knew how much we loved her. Maybe one day she will realize it. I’m waiting not so patiently.
