When she came to Morning Bray Farm almost four years ago, Momma was completely feral.
Finally, last week… Momma took something from my hand for the first time.
How did I never notice that Momma’s and Baby Boy’s tongues are black?
What a monumental moment. I was quiet outside, but inside, I was screaming and jumping up and down.
Momma is so beautiful.
Finally… Momma!

Mama has beautiful little teeth. And she has a lot of other pretty parts, too.
What a thrill to have gained her trust…

Oh my goodness, what a milestone! Having a once feral animal eat from your hand.. the ultimate proof of total trust, which you earned. It makes me feel all warm inside:)

She was the last holdout at the MBF wasn’t she? She is beautiful. I can’t believe she stood and let you take pictures–all that clicking from the strange little thing in the hand without the snacks. 🙂

Wonderful, simply wonderful! How well I know that incredible feeling inside when a once-feral animal nibbles from your hand for the first time. There’s nothing like it. Absolutely nothing.
What a way to start the week – my heart is singing for you and Momma.
