...She and Cooper are best buds
now and his jealousy has subsided :-) They play fight alot, and chase
each other up and down the stairs and hallways, then curl up on his pillow
together to catch their breath. It's really quite humorous!! They really
enjoyed chasing each other around and rolling in the snow last Saturday.
They had so much snow packed in their fur that they looked like little
snowmen!!
Other than the occasionally accident (maybe once a week), Ella is doing
great, and has adjusted well. You'd think that she has lived with us all
her life, from the way that she handles herself and keeps Cooper in line.
She is definitely not a little wallflower. I am amazed by her appetite!!
Cooper is a very slow, finicky eater, and Ella gulps down her food, then
tries to eat half of his and he just moves over and lets her have it.
Same thing with treats, toys or bones. She'll decide that Cooper's looks
more appealing and just go take it from him. He lets her take it, then
simply picks up whatever item she discarded and moves on. I would never
have thought that he'd be so passive after ruling the roost alone for so
long.
Take care,
Lauri Schauer-Bird
