It’s pretty easy to make friends with a dog, all things being equal. It’s a completely different things to be accepted by a pack. It took me awhile to figure out the dynamics of Frosty’s crew, like the fact that no fewer than 3 dogs think they’re in charge. Jimmy flipped right away because he’s the smartest. Merle the matriarch gave me a fair shake, then hard passed. Frosty downright attacked me when I first arrived. But Jimmy sought help because Frosty and Bean were in cahoots. With more politics and drama than Meercat Manor, these amazing dogs managed to fascinate me all day without a single word said. 🥰 They are all such individuals. Each needed to be courted differently, offered different bribes and promises, treated differently, to get them to come around. I’ve won over Bean AND Frosty. If I can get Merle to accept me, what’s next? World peace? 😂
