I had to pretty much give up on the antlers for Ash. I found a red and white bandana and he did fine with that. Ember would be a great model except if you use food to get her attention then she comes to you to get the food. Frost was funny. At first he looked like he was planning my murder as well, but he got over it pretty quickly and was playing and acting like a dork.
Frost is definitely a pretty boy. His eyes are the easiest to work with in photography too.
Uh, yeah. I'm sure. She walks around low to the ground with her legs bent up. She sort of looks like one of those short-legged cats except somehow weirder.
You should see him run around with a leaf in his mouth. It's pretty dorky looking. Especially with him being a big, tough-looking dog. Then he goes galloping around with a leaf or a clump of dead grass in his mouth.
She has much lower standards than I do. When I say sit, I expect him to sit and stay sitting until told otherwise. She doesn't seem to think he's capable of holding a sit despite watching me put him in a sit and run around and throw toys around while he holds that sit. He doesn't really like having something on his head either, but he's a bit more willing to put his ears up than Stella.
I don't know what to think of Ash. It certainly doesn't seem like there's anything physically wrong with him. It's behavioral, but why I don't know and I don't know how to fix it. He's only peed in my room a couple of times. It's mostly the main bathroom and my mom's room and sometimes the bathroom in my room (on the mat or a pee pad if one is in there) which are the places he's found things to pee on the most. He hasn't been peeing on the litter mats lately though which he'd been getting pretty bad about that.
It would be interesting to learn more about why wild animals are so picky.
Ash can get pretty bad since he'll tear the bread bag up and has gotten into a box of cookies. He's willing to put more effort into getting the food than the other two. And of course he likes meat like chicken and turkey. We've had issues with him getting in the trash and getting a hold of bones.
Well, I don't mind living under a rock as long as I have my animals with me. It just means I'm usually not aware of things that other people seem to think is common knowledge.
Yeah, not necessarily a good thing to feed them, I know, but I can't say I completely blame whoever might be feeding them. It would be hard to just ignore them, but of course the fact that they were so visible just shows the problem with feeding them.
Yes, I wouldn't expect to see an adult mountain lion very often, let alone a baby. Pretty cool, but hopefully they keep to themselves and don't bother the cats. Coyotes seem less elusive than mountain lions, so I could see them being a bigger issue. A cat probably isn't worth the effort of being exposed to a mountain lion.
It is difficult to live where there's more wildlife. I know I'd love to live in nature and see the wildlife as we don't have very much here, but then there's the downside of predators. Might not be too big of an issue without outdoor cats, but even letting a small dog out unsupervised could be dangerous. But of course there's cars and people to worry about when you don't have wildlife! We have a fairly busy road right behind us with a lot of semi-trucks, so not safe for any outdoor animals or animals that get out.
