Is that a silly puppy emerging out of that patchy furry, nervous shell?

With each passing day we gradually see the puppy that is living inside this patchy fur, nervous shell start to come out. Brinley is gradually becoming comfortable in the house and is showing a lot more confidence. She can play for hours on her own with any of the toys throwing them across the room with her mouth and running after them only to do it all over again. She particularly likes the noisy toys, especially if you are on the phone or trying to have a conversation or listen to something on TV.

Outside of the house she is still very nervous, she will follow Olly on a walk, but still cowers when cars pass or there are load noises outside. We have been taking the same route on each walk, and on certain parts she is getting a bit more comfortable, finally moving away from my leg a bit and sniffing things.

We have met several other dogs on our walks, and she is very submissive with all of them.

Olly is finally starting to let her sit a bit closer to him and has played with her for a couple seconds here and there.

Her skin seems less itchy and tomorrow she is due for her special bath to keep her skin on the road to recovery. I think she is getting a bit more fur, but she is also shedding!
