Staci, everything you are describing seems perfectly normal. From the descriptions of their behavior, I predict they will be curled up sleeping together in no time. Shiloh did the exact same thing with Harley where she'd come smell his paw and then hiss. She learned to trust him though and they became friends (for a little while anyway). When Reece came, Harley started picking on Shiloh and she blamed it on Reece so she'd smack him if he smelled her. When things calmed down though, she realized it wasn't Reece and she has a great time playing with him now.

Shai's so sweet for sharing her home with Kylie. Just be patient and keep doing what you've been doing and they'll start to trust each other more. Its a great sign that Kylie will get on the bed when Shai's on there too. You're so great for keeping Kylie in your loving home instead of having her miserable around your friend's boyfriend. I'm sure Kylie appreciates it

Show these pictures to Kylie and tell her she can be great friends with Shai just like Shiloh is with her doggy buds
