Glad things are going better with Sorcha.

Sorry about the Noisy Vac. Wish I could invite you over here. : (

Does she like music or podcasts at all? You could leave something playing in a quieter part of the house and see if that helped while you're at home? Dad did this for our dog sometimes. I'm not sure what would help with going past it for leaving, though. Is she completely balking at going by?
