Our sweet Pru has been with us for two years this Thanksgiving Eve. I almost forgot in all the holiday swirl!
It's been a great two years. She loves Clio and Sam and she loves us. She comes to visit at night to get belly rubs and scritches. We got a rescue dog, Fergus, in March and her progress has slowed. She will not come out from under the sofa unless the dog is out of the house. I see her jumping off the radiator to go under the sofa when I bring the dog back from a walk. He's a good dog, but I put him in the kennel to give her time out and about for a few hours in the day.
Fergus is fascinated by the creature that lives under the sofa, he knows she's there. And she knows he is there and she's not coming out. So this is a work in progress for us: getting a rambunctious dog and a scared feral to accept each other.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. I'm hoping time will help, but I would like to move it along if I could.
I would have never kept Pru that night, except I joined TCS that evening in sheer desperation and fear and learned so much from reading all the posts in this section. I was given such great advice. So not only is it Pru's second anniversary, it's mine with TCS.
