the next level

Pierre and I took our relationship to the next level this morning.

I have been playing with him using the feather on a string, wand toy. He and Oliver love that. Occasionally, Pierre gets so into it that he forgets his fear of humans for a few seconds.

Often in the mornings, when I feed Oliver and his family special breakfast, Pierre will rub his body against mine and I can pet his back a few times before he remembers his fear and darts just out of reach. Today was different.



I rubbed his head for the first time and that was a game changer. He pushed into it and wanted more. There was no fear! I think I found the sweet spot for him where pleasure trumps fear!

  9. After 5 years, I have a breakthough with Opie. She would never sit on my lap or chair. One day she unexpectedly did, and now it is a regular thing. Nice to see your "progress."
