Hi Bev, I'd just take things nice and slowly, as her comfort levels increase then add a little more experience for her. My old boy Caruso never cared for my attempts to make him like the world, he was his happiest going for van rides peering out at the world from the tinted windows, loved his walks in the forest and generally loved the quiet country life. He liked my friends, didn't like strangers and was convinced the mail man was stealing the box!
