I finally was able to give Jane proper belly rubs for the first time! She REALLY liked them. She also met some of our friends for the first time. She was shy and wanted her duck close by. Eventually she fell asleep lying between Joe and I. She's getting so much better with Joe, and he's able to pet her, but she definitely prefers me if she has the option. He's so kind to her and gives her so much grace even though I know he's frustrated that he loves her and she just doesn't feel the same way with him. I know with time it'll keep getting better. And I'm so grateful that Joe is an incredibly patient man. We see these giant steps or even leaps of improvement nearly every day with Jane, but with him, it's only the tiniest baby steps. Whoever the man was that had her before we got her must have really done a number on her because she just does not feel comfortable around men the way she does around women. It's quite heartbreaking to think about.
It was a nice evening, so we did a fire. Jane didn't like it and decided to lay in the garden instead. 😅
