When she was in the garage, I left a small light on for her. I think it was good because she did #1 on the papers. My earlier post said she hadn't done #2, but this morning I saw that she actually did do #2 also while in the garage. I got the crate because the foster care provider told me that's where she's been sleeping, but she didn't take to it here. Even though she was within about 3' of me, she still whimpered. So, I decided to put her up on the bed with Abby and me and she did fine. I found an old, very small stuffed lamb that was Krissi's and gave it to her and she immediately took it in her mouth. She slept from about 3:00 am until Abby wanted to get up at about 7:00. I took her to the garage and she did #1 and 2 on the paper. Yay! I noticed her getting into a stance to do more #2 on a piece of carpet in the garage and tried to point her to the papers but she wouldn't do anything. So she's not completely ready to use the papers, but I think it was progress to get out of the bed in the garage and walk about 10' over to the papers to do her business.
I think I may take the crate back because I don't think she's going to use it. I have a puppy playpen that I got when Abby was a puppy. I'm thinking I could set that up inside to enclose her for a while if I have to go out. Thanks for the suggestions. Any more ideas would be great but I do think we've made progress in less than a day. She's still very skittish though. They didn't think she was abused, just neglected in her previous life. Abby and I intend to change that and give her the best life she deserves.
This is what she looked like when they rescued her from the shelter. Very matted and very dirty.

Here she is now. They bathed her and cut off most of her hair before she was spayed. I was surprised at the color difference. She looks like a smaller version of my wonderful Krissi. I didn't expect that. I'll let her hair grow out because I think she'll look better. By the way, her name is: Bindi
