regarding Rex
I coaxed Rex to eat some parsely tonight; he made only a meager attempt to eat his dinner. I think that, in the end, giving him the chance to see Peanut one last time will have been better than simply taking her away, but he is taking it hard and my mama heart aches for him.
He was visibly shaken when he first saw her, and wouldn’t actually get near enough to touch her, simply examining her and then stepping back. The only thing that’s gotten him to come out of their cardboard hideaway tonight has been the blanket that was in Peanut’s crate. He was sleeping on it when I left for work.
Haley (on RO) recommended getting a stuffed animal for him to snuggle with. I don’t know if it will help, but I’ll look for one tomorrow. This is the first time Rex has been alone in over five years…
Oh, poor little thing.
I hope the stuffed animal helps. Poor Rex.
Poor Rex. Give him snuggles from me, too.
