    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    Luckily Jerry the meerkat LOVES Cindy the baboon and vice versa, so that is where any similarity with Maja ends. 😉 It’s a super YouTube channel. The young man grew up with Cindy as his older sister and she’s really amazing.

    Another FNA for Reuben

    You and Reuben were BOTH brave - no matter how much you like Sue, just going in is going to push both your buttons and set off all your flight or fight responses, so for today try to be proud of yourself and take it easy because you’re sure to be exhausted. How soon will Sue be able to tell you...

    Oh goodness, that sounds pretty dire. She didn’t hurt herself on the glass, did she?

    Flicka

    You’ve already made such good progress with her. I’m sure the car challenge can be overcome, especially with you being so determined. 😊 Is her sore leg something brand new? Could she just have strained it?

    Boob placement hasn’t been that high for a good decade, but I appreciate your optimism. 🤣

    This is becoming a habit. At least it’s scarf weather. 😉

    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    Yeah, Carbón isn’t doing so hot, or not as well as I’d like in any case. But he does seem happier when I give him some alone time. Now that I know Maja does fine in her apartment, I think we’ll add some ‘only Carbón’ walks. We can all walk together to Maja’s place, leave her there for a 30...

    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    Ok, night number two survived! She was very comfortable in her crate and our now-routine of walking her alone at 6 am worked nicely. She is, however, still bitey towards Carbón and heseems quite down. I’m trying out leaving her at own apartment right now because tomorrow I’ll need to leave her...

    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    Thank you for all the great advice! No car trips as my car is 30 minutes’ walk from my apartment, but Maja needs to go out for a wee twice as often as Carbón, so those can be good relax times for Carbón . We tried that this morning (Maja got a 6 am wee walk and Carbón got peanut butter in his...

    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    We all made it through dinner, Carbón in his usual spot and Maja in the bathroom. She got snippy with him afterwards when he tried to go back to the sofa, so she had a five minute time out in her carrier. I’m hoping with little breaks like that, where Carbón gets what he wants (or what he’s used...

    Another FNA for Reuben

    Oh no, I’m so sorry you have this worry again. Good choice to wait for Sue, it’s only one day difference (which I know makes it harder for you ) but as you say she knows Reuben and all his history and probably will be able to tell you right away what she thinks. Sending you lots of love and...

    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    I see both sides of the argument. But in this case, avoiding the conflict may be better as Maja doesn’t see Carbón as a mother dog figure - or really didn’t appear to as I don’t claim to be a chihuahua mind reader. I’d guess she sees him more as an indentured serf. 😉 Also when he had grumbled...

    The Ballad of Maja and Carbón

    Oops, Freudian slip: it’s only TWO weeks with Miss Maja and until I leave for the US. Not sure how I made THAT mistake. I think I’m losing brain cells! 😬
