freida is now living with SD and SIL, 12 weeks old bejengi
hilarious animal and charming, she has considerable potential to be a star
in some ways she reminds me of ki at that age and a week into a new life in a new place without 7 adult dogs and her siblings she is starting to fit in and do the "right things"
the first couple of days was "difficult" for mutt and humans, then we gave them a pheromone diffuser plug in thingy, it is an artificial milk bank and adult ear scent compound and had a excellent effect in an hour or so
reducing anxiety from displacement is vital with a new pup, it is not a problem with home made ones, strangers in a strange land need help adjusting.
adopting a stranger toddler of any species is interesting, this one is very well adjusted from her home life(7 household adult dogs+her siblings, she was the last to find her permanent sofa)
adjusting to a new life as a toddler(in human terms) is a two sided thing.
if mutt relaxes rather than has a high stress level from separation etc it is easier for it to adjust
diffuser is good, skullcap and valerian are an option, a sound and steady mutt to befriend and teach it is useful
so far mr chompski has been a perfect uncle ji
as has this werewolf
the difference between a well raised pup, a commodity pup or rescues is massive
i recon i might teach this one stealth when i get to babysit, bad uncle delux. |

her yawning noise sounds like she was stung by a wasp
very disturbing until i got used to it
chompski was a bit worried he had been replaced in tt's affections, once we swapped mutts calm ensued, he is not bothered if i have a new chum
she is very nice, a puppy with puppy ways and very sharp teeth, but nice and a biddable fast learner
i was not feeling well, she was tired, we snoozed sd and sil were rather surprised when she gave them a sleepy "oh, you, ok" greeting
no one was eaten, she felt comfortable, she is no bother compared to "difficult" ones
bad uncle could teach this one all sorts of fun skills. |
