Some sort of 'switch flipped' with Gryff. From running and hiding to snuggles galore

[Siwsan]

He's just been kind of nervous, all morning, finding places he can seclude while still accessing his situation. Madoc told him off, in no uncertain terms, but then I gave them a little snack and they ate, in peace, right next to each other.

Then he was hanging around my chair so I EASILY picked him up and he spent the next ten minutes just being a total love bug. I couldn't get a picture because he never stopped moving - from my lap to my shoulder to my face, round and round and round, giving me all kinds of head rubs. Now he's off exploring, again.

So I am hopeful there is a peace treaty between the boys. I'll still put Gryff in the play room when I go to the memorial service but when we get back, I'll have my brother help me get some good pictures.

Patience and persistence. I have a good feeling about this whole situation.

1. It sounds as if you have every reason to be optimistic.

It’s not even 24 hours since Gryff came home with you, is it?

I’m eagerly awaiting the pictures.

2. awwwwww. It sounds like you will have two love bugs on your hands. How

wonderful. He seems to be adjusting well.

3. I missed how you got him.

Was he another feral? It's so great that you take them in. I've moved into the city, but when I lived in a rural area, strays (and dumps) were always showing up.

4. When I took Madoc to the vet for his rabies vaccination/flea treatment, they had 2 kittens

I had mention to the dr. that I was going to the humane society to look for a companion for Madoc, and he said 'Well, we've got some kittens, here, that need a home. Apparently the litter was found on the side of a major highway, and who ever found them brought them straight to the veterinary office I use.

I picked the male because they said he was more relaxed and socialized than the female. He is the same age as Madoc, so that's perfect. He will get neutered at the same time, next month.

So, it was just luck. And he was free!

6. Again, bless your heart.

I've never understood how people can be so cruel.

My best friend and I are starting a new chapter on this line...we're going to be transporting Golden Retrievers that are rescued from the Korean markets from their foster home in LA to their new homes in Vegas. We do our first run next week and I can't wait!!

7. It sounds like he used to have a home.

Then came the scary part,and now he remembers about being loved and safe. And he is!
