belic and toulouse had a bit of a falling out today.
belic's hatred toward bruxo remains strong.
toulouse is still not a fan of their constant bickering, but he's sort of given up on trying to mediate it.
for a minute, he seemed almost like he was afraid of bruxo.
he was, however, totally fine with relentlessly bullying bruxo himself.
bruxo is terrified of toulouse, even though he's huge.
belic tried to join in on their fighting.
in spite of all of this, bruxo was still in the mood to play fetch.
toulouse was also feeling playful after getting his aggression on bruxo out.
belic wanted to take a nap.
i've been kind of tired of reporting the constant fighting between these three, and i feel a little bad for them, so i decided to see if i could find proper friends for them amongst my other petz. i randomly selected a few and decided to see how they would get along.
i introduced early, one of my dane mixes, to belic.
they started nipping each other and wrestling immediately.
after a constant cycle of this, early got tired and fell asleep. clearly things didn't work out here.
i introduced her to bruxo next.
things played out similarly between them.
however, bruxo was upset when i put early away, so i wondered if there was some chemistry between them.
when i took her back out, they just kept wrestling. constantly.
early just yawned when i put bruxo away, so i guess the feeling isn't mutual. oh well.
next, i introduced belic to gail, an aussie/border collie mix.
the hatred was instant and VERY clear. nope!
next, i introduced gail to bruxo.
instead of wrestling right away, they began howling to each other. bruxo stood up when i was taking the picture, but...
THEN they began wrestling.
they also spent some time staring at each other, which was new.
but it actually does seem that these two kind of like each other! i'll let them play some more together later and see what happens.
next, i introduced toulouse to taira, a maine coon mix.
though toulouse was interested in getting to know her, taira wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with him. she completely ignored him!
next, i tried introducing rochelle, an alley mix.
luckily, these two seemed to like each other somewhat! (the angry eyes were because rochelle didn't like me taking her picture)
they were singing to each other as well!
overall, i think we have a budding friendship here!
tomorrow or sometime later, i will let toulouse keep playing with rochelle, and bruxo with gail, to see how their relationships develop, if at all. i still need to find a buddy for belic though!
