The Tobi/Shiloh relationship is working out. The first couple days it was rocky, but now I'm having Tobi sleep in a crate and it totally solved their problems. He will take corrections from her now instead of going at her stronger. She's a bit peeved that he's bothering her sometimes but she holds her ground and is acting like normal.
The bad news is the Lolly/Tobi relationship has been gradually getting worse since day one. She's being really jumpy and nervous, well moreso than usual. She spent practically all day today growling. She growls when he plays with Reece, growls when he gets too close to her, growls when he barks, etc etc. He's being good with her and respecting her as alpha, but I am worried about her mental well being. I don't want to put her through anything that she's not ready to go through. She seemed to accept Tabby and Willow (previous fosters) a lot better than Tobi or Bailey. Hrm, it just dawned on me that she accepted the females better. But actually I think its more the personality, not gender. Tabby and Willow were very timid and low key. Tobi is ANYTHING but low key. He is so funny. Today instead of running away from the vacuum cleaner when I turned it on, he ran up and started attacking and biting it. I was dying laughing.
I hope it works out.
