I may have made the family tree a little confusing, so I should redo it
Reeses indeed has had a lot of girlfriends. Chia is NOT related to Reeses' side, but Ruth is the union between Quail and Reeses. Ruth's father is Reeses, and his mother is Magpie who is Quail's daughter xP I should do some adoptions from my line, but honestly I find it hard to part with these guys. I'll try
So for the next evaluations we have courage testing, stick-catching, and flyball for athletic duo Chia and Conifer
who by the way, still love each-other <3
Sometimes they frolic and romp like good old best friends, and sometimes
they make cute sounds as they groom each-other romantically
I may give them a spritz of perfume from time to time,
which has escalated their relationship but surprisingly not resulted in pregnancy, so either Conifer is infertile or they
are kosher canines xD
finally found the gifs of these cute hippity hoppity moments that I mentioned before <3
So let's see how brave they are when it comes to heights
First I placed Chia on a shelf to see how she felt about heights;
at first she was feeling pretty brave before soon crouching with a little fear, although she demonstrated a reasonable
amount of uneasiness and bravery and wasn't worried enough to jump down. I'll give her a 2/3 for bravery surrounding
heights
Conifer on the other hand was surprisingly more uncomfortable on the shelf than Chia! he laid down seeming unsure
about what to do before jumping down. What's peculiar is Chia seemed frustrated after I put Conifer on the ledge, so
maybe she was mad at me for putting him in that frightening position xD
I also pulled out the sPooOPy jack-o-lantern to see how easily they're creeped out by it.
Chia stood her ground for the most part but ended up fleeing, so I give her a 2/3 because she wasn't completely
horrified by it xP
Conifer on the other paw made a brazen display as he pounced and held the pumpkin fearlessly! he definitely earned
a 3/3 jack-o-lantern bravery score
Next up was the more fun and less scary tests... stick catching! Chia aced the stick catching segment as she caught
the stick multiple times, and in-fact she put forth so much athletic effort that she ended up drinking some water
this is the first time I've seen one of my petz drink water haha.
Chia earned a 2.5/3 stick-catching score.
Conifer also had a big time galloping after the stick, and he actually had a silly trip once that I captured in a picture
he caught the stick, but not as many times or with the same degree as seriousness as his best friend Chia, so I'll
give him a 2/3.
Now it's time for flyball! Chia got real into flyball and turned into a maniac going on a hoop jumping spree xP
afterall, it is in her blood; both her father and grandmother have participated in flyball.
I tested them on two seperate occasions, Chia killed in twice and Conifer did pretty well the first time but was
too distracted by Chia the second. With some more training Conifer could advance to Chia's level.
Chia has earned a 3/3 and I'll give Conifer a 2/3 in flyball skill
Also, why is Conifer licking this ball around? xD
