It's hard to play with Alphy because Murphy just has to be everywhere and is always in his face. I thought I was doing a good thing be getting him a companion but other times when he just looks at me with those sad eyes I think he's thinking... mom, I was okay alone.  Breaks my heart at times. Other times he plays with Murphy and I'm glad that I did it. Catch 22 I guess. I'm hoping that as Murphy gets older things will even out.
Hang in there, I am sure that it will be fine. |
That's sort of like it is here...Madison just has to be right in Max's face all the time...if I'm talking to Max or Max is trying to get to me to kiss me or be picked up, Madison is right there to jump in front of him....and I can just see in Max's face "MUST I put up with this???"....but then when I see them running and playing together, it makes me happy that he's got someone like him....although, I am beginning to think that these little guys mostly are pretty content with just their human companions....I am holding out hope that it's only been 3 months here, but it feels like so long to me, b/c of all the issues we've had with Madison and he's finally at a place where he's healthy, vaccinated, neutered and groomed....it was a 3 month road to get here. So, maybe it might take them a year before they're best buddies....that's what I'm praying for; it would be nice to see them snuggle together....I think I did the right thing
