We're letting Srauss out of his room for a couple of hours in the evening so that he can start adjusting to the others. But there is always at least one of us monitoring him and the others.
So far Jan has stared at him and growled and hissed at him to let him know she is the boss.
Sid is opting for a "live and let live" policy. He just ignores Strauss - like he's saying "you don't bother me and I won't bother you and there's room enough here for the both of us".
Joxer is being his timid self and is completely avoiding Strauss so we're giving him extra attention to try to make him less afraid.
The one sad thing is that Strauss will go back to his room on his own, but right before going in the door, he makes a very loud, pathetic, mournful howl (actually several of them) like he's calling for his old family. :(
But so far so good.
