They play so much running through the house!
One thing I noticed is that she doesn't play with the toys. Cayo has bunch of them and plays with all at the same time. He takes them out from where I store them one by one and starts playing with them. Luna doesn't know how to play! I've tried to teach her and do as with Cayo, but it looks like she would like to, approaches, smells and kinda seems like she will hold the toy, but then goes back to where she was.
She is a sweety!
Also I had to put them appart while eating. Cayo eats whatever she leaves and I could say he has earn almost a pound since she arrived.

Try buying NEW toys for Luna, it could be the scent of Cayo on the toys. Offer Luna the new toy first, let her get her scent on it first. My lil boy I adopted 7 months ago,he was then 2 1/2 y/o, he just had a birthday so now he is 3 y/o. he was a surrender, he was well cared for, loved by the entire family, veryl well trained, yet he had no toys. When I adopted him he was gone from family only 3days, he walked into my house as if it was his home. I went out several days later and bought him many assorted toys, I didn't know if he played with toys since he never had any. I started him off with 3 toys, a ball, a rubber squeaky and a rag furry monkey. He went ballistic, was grabbing them all lol, he now has a basket filled with toys and plays with everything. Several weeks ago I found a toy from my past lil girl (when I had to put my last baby down I gathered all doggie things, toys, sweaters, coats, leashes, harnesses, etc to my local no kill shelter, I swore no my babies, loosing them is too over whelming and painful. I somehow missed this one toy, a rubber squeaky rubber duck At this time rubber squeakys were his favorite.) I gave him that toy, he sniffed it and walked away, he will not touch it, so I have to assume it is because it has the scent of my past dog. Also last year I gave a friend of mine a lot of toys that my lil girl no longer played with, she was old and 85% blind. When my friends dog smelled the toys she turned her nose up, wanted no part of them. I had them all washed and clean, but the scent of another dog was still on them. So I am thinking this may be with Luna, the scent of Cayo, she knows it's his, not hers. Get her one toy, it's worth a shot.
