Day 1: Coming home
Adopted from the shelter after learning she only has three legs. My husband was not going to let her suffer in there. Just like he wasn't going to let Xiao Wu suffer in there.
We already knew we had to keep Xiao Wu and Erlong separated. Xiao Wu is an already established queen so she's going to be extremely territorial. And so I had to turn my entire work area into Erlong's living space while she recovers from her surgery and the initial shock of a fourth move before attempts at bonding can begin.
We learned that she was abandoned at the shelter by her owners and had to undergo the spaying and fostering before being put up for adoption. The mark on her ear indicates being spayed.
A picture of her in the shelter. Was named Hubert.
Day 2: Up all night
I had to stay up all night to make sure Xiao Wu could not see Erlong at all. She has attempted to enter the enclosure multiple times and I don't want that to happen. And so....
Xiao Wu can't see Erlong to try to hurt her and Erlong can't see Xiao Wu so she can eat and explore in peace. Xiao Wu looks displeased with my decision to protect them both.
Erlong has gained more energy after staying the night and eating some food. With a fresh litterbox and some fresh hay, she's more energetic than she was the day before. Zooming around her enclosure, mini binkies, throwing toys around, digging at her hidey box, nudging my leg.
