Well.. It's Monday and I survived the weekend with the 2 terrors. I went to watch my friend run the Minneapolis half marathon Sunday morning, stopped for a solo lunch at Noodles and wrote out my grocery list (they're across the parking lot from one another). Upon my return around noon, I decided to partake in an experiment. I let Lucky out of his room, only this time, after freaking out that they were trying to kill each other and not playing at all, I let them go at it. For HOURS. TJ took great pleasure in stalking Lucky, jumping on his back, and nipping his neck/ears. Joke is on TJ though because Lucky is twice his size and when Lucky ACTUALLY had enough, he'd let TJ know.
After about 5 or 6 hours of that, they seemed to reach an understanding. They could be in the same room without wanting to fight/play, and even co-existed peacefully on occasion! Behold, progress:
He's so freaking adorable. I think Lucky was hiding downstairs. I think TJ forgot for a little while Lucky was even there.. or maybe he really is just relaxing to the idea.
such a sweetie..
Mutually distracting activities, such as swinging at bugs through the screen of an open window, also serves as a good "babysitter" for these 2.
All in all, I think we're going to survive, guys.
I do sincerely hope that when I go home after work to feed them one hasn't killed the other one. That'd be bad.

One of my friends ran the 1/2 marathon too! What a beautiful morning :-)
ReplyDeleteApparently TJ just needed to know that Lucky wasn't going to infringe on his lounging time with you, haha! Glad they're getting along better now!
The Noodles at West End? I do solo lunches there often! :)
ReplyDeleteRandom question, where did you get that chair? I love it!
