After the required one week separation, it was quite evident that
Remy did not like her foster siblings (2 male Boston Terrier dogs and 2
female cats). What were we to do but forge ahead and try and make
things work. There have been several fights among the dogs (none of
them ever got hurt thankfully) and lots of corrections with the cats
(she was extremely fixated and would always breathe funny and often
lunge and mouth the cats) but we persisted and have made great strides.
While she derives her greatest pleasure from being with people, Miss
Remy is starting to enjoy her foster siblings more and more. She naps
beside her Bostie brothers on the couch (one time she even slept on top
of Griffin in order to get the best spot next to me), she allows Amber
the cat to rub her head on her -- I
will need to video and post) and she is initiating play with Cooper
more and more everyday (not sure why she doesn't try to get Griffin to
play). Unfortunately for her, Cooper often snubs her attempts to play
(he does the same to Griffin) but indulges
her on occasion. Here is a video of today's romp which includes a
little bit of Miss Remy's "whirlybird" move which is adorable!
