I miss all of you, and wish I could be of help to all of the new members joining. Still just really hard to visit the site, but I am loving the Tripawds calendar!
Just wanted to give a quick update on Mr. Gator. He loves the snow, and still loves chasing critters. He will sit, as still as a statue, waiting for a squirrel to come too close. Fortunately, they never do. But, possums really do play dead quite effectively.
My bed is his safe place, and where you will find him much of the time. His first dental revealed that many of his teeth are worn in such as way that it is likely he spent much of his life in a cage. He continues to be terrified of abandonment – I have kind of given up on trying to change that and am focused more on just minimizing situations that trigger his fear. And, he still suffers from skin allergies, which get worse when he is under stress. Even more reason to just stay in bed!
We never found the ideal companion – he seems to have bonded with Enzo the cat, which is good because Enzo missed the dogs horribly.
