My two new babies Pumpkin and Mimzy have been doing slow intro's with the big girls. They are both so tiny I am not in a big hurry, my goal is by Christmas that they will all be together. But Mimzy does this belly crawl and she get under the big girls and just stays their super still and she looks petrified but she continues to do it? Is just trying to get them to accept her?
Intro's are going pretty well. Rose is very angry as usual, but I have not interfered with her when she gets on one of the babies and she has not drawn blood like she did with Willow and Sunflower.
Rose did bite the crap out of me last night, I went to pick her up and CHOMP right on the tip of my finger, she did not break the skin but it sure hurt. It's funny I shook my finger at her at told her "NO, bad girl" she just looked at my like "what the hell ever lady." I went to pick her up again and she did not bite this time. I held her and told her "it's okay I know you are all crazy right now, but Mommy loves you so don't bite it hurts." The BF heard me talking to her and busted up laughing he said Rose had this look on her face like "I don't know what the hell you just said, crazy lady, so just put me down NOW."
Since I brought the new girls home there has been a lot of commotion going on in the big girl cage. Rose and Sunflower are going at it a lot and last night you would have thought Ivy was killing Sunflower the awful shrieks she was letting out. No blood and no chunks of fur missing. I figured that Sunflower (4 months) is probably trying to be the boss and the older girls are just not having it.
Thank GOD for the FN. If things get too chaotic I can always put the old ladies on the bottom and youngsters on the top.
