He’s been eating from her bowl that I couldn’t bring myself to remove and my thoughts are dominated by dealing with him so it feels like it’s overshadowing her 😢💔 I might remove her beds so I don’t have to see him use them. It’s all happening too fast.
I feel horrible. All I can say is that I saved her and did the best I could for her. And now all I can do is try to help him.
i know, washing everything because of fleas just felt like the most ignominious way to remove her scents.
but they knew what she smelled like. They knew she was here. and that's...something.
Yeah, it really sucks. It’s like the current situation has literally swept and washed her away.
But your boys caught your girl’s scent and I have a fur clipping and whiskers from mine
