Monday Bunday: Tri Bun Bond X 3

A good Bunday to all. There is much to report and I'll be as brief as possible. Firstly, Amelia would like everybun to know that her wish for a an outdoor extension has been filled, when weather and noise level (there is a contractor next door who does a lot of work in his driveway) permits, she may survey the the holdings and sniff the air.

"There gotta be some way out of here."

And she did break out, but not for long.

Secondly, we have had two bonding sessions where Tyler was the ambassador of the Spots. Both these went fairly well and no fur flew. I have abandoned, for the time being, the tuning forks, partially because I'm sitting on the floor and diverting possible aggression, and partially because they were maybe too distracting and technical. Now I sit and divert and hum, mostly a sort of tape loop of a few bars of "On the Street Where You Live", I don't know why it just sort of popped out.

This is the set up, Amelia seems to feel perfectly safe next to her fence.

Thirdly, today we held an all Spots session. Amelia was more interested in her outdoor playpen, so the Spots happily ate her greens. She came in and flopped behind the fence/gate which comes out perpendicularly from the wall when open. More or less all was well, though when Tyler started to eat her pellets, Amelia flew at him, I stuck my hand out and got a bit of bite, but Tyler got away.

The girls have a chat......

Later Sydney and Amelia mixed it and I had to pull them apart. I picked up Sydney, figuring she was harder to catch for the post fight wound examine. Sydney and had a very nice lap sit, I love her back satin ears and she knows it. She had no bites, just a lot of fur in her mouth.....Amelia was fine too and a little while later she and Tyler were eating parsley with the fence between them. Next time I am thinking I need to rearrange the room so there are no places where a bun could feel trapped, I think this is what happened with Sydney and Amelia. I'll put the pellet bowl up, maybe just some hay and a few piles of greens.........

Amelia is not sure about this and glares at the approaching Sydney with a pink eye. This pictures shows Amelia's new ear-do, they are getting silver, at first I thought it was mange or something that required a trip to the vet, but the skin is healthy and the fur is growing thicker. I guess these are her winter ears.....
