Today is better! Not by much but better nonetheless.
They spend all day fighting for attention. Any time ANYBODY stops to pet one of them, the other runs up and pushes the other one out of the way. They also go around marking places the other has gone. Franklin is acting like a spoiled brat (mainly because he is) and barking at her and being mean to her. She just wants to sleep. She will still growl a little at him if he bugs her too much but for the most part, the roles have been reversed. He now runs around and barks at her any time she comes near anybody or near his things (currently, she is sleeping on the couch and Franklin is barking his head off). As a result, she has spent most of the day hiding in the kitchen, sleeping on her blankets. It's incredible how calm she is. My mom LOVES her!
I'm a little confused though because Franklin keeps trying to hump her - he's neutered so this is obviously a sign of dominance. But yesterday, SHE was the dominant one. She would have snapped at him yesterday but is just letting him hump her now. She's definitely adjusting better and pretty much ignores Franklin. I just hope HE adjusts!
We still don't know if she's pregnant although just about everybody that's seen her thinks she is. I'll let you all know after the vet appointment tomorrow.
Keeping my fingers crossed! I'd really like for Franklin to have a playmate. I really think that after a week or two, they'll learn to love each other. |
