Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 17

Pearl and Hematite looked like little balls of fluff. They were so adorable! Why hadn't I thought of buying them sooner? The breeder did say that I needed to train them from a young age. These dogs are extremely loyal and the only dogs in the world that can take down a bear! Now that's a dog!

Hematite came bounding up the hallway. Even as puppies you could see their size potential. They were going to be big guard dogs! Couldn't wait to have them all grown up. Hematite was jumping on my feet, trying to get my attention. Pearl was stalking the other critters behind the glass. Didn't want my babies to be eaten by my new babies! Thankfully Mawsie and Jade were up on their branch and out of harms way. Though Mawsitsit did look at the balls of fur with interest. Possibly thinking of taking them on for lunch. Guess I will have to put them outside so they don't eat one another. Why can't they all play nicely?

Sigh.

I had bought two dog kennels, one each for Pearl and Hematite. They were set up outside in the front yard. The fence had been secured and it looks like I will have to replace the fence with something sturdier and larger to keep my new babies in, once they grow up.

Jasper, Onyx and Amber all came to the glass and were surveying the new members of the family. Hematite and Pearl barked. I guess if I introduce them now they may realise that they are family and not food???

Knowing that Jasper had the greatest chance of survival, I opened the sun door carefully and went to fetch him. Picking him up gingerly, I took him back to the other room and sat him down. Pearl barked and Hematite crouched down ready to pounce, his little bottom wriggling in the air. Jasper curled into a protective ball. I sighed once more and picked him up, placing him in my lap. Hematite tried to jump into my lap as well and Pearl was now wagging her tail out of control! They were both so excited to have a play mate/toy.

After a few minutes Jasper relaxed enough in my caring embrace to poke his little face out and look at the noisy newcomers. Hematite tried to sniff Jasper and much to my delight, they touched noses. Pearl nudged Hermitite out of the way and tried to sniff Jasper too, only Jasper had had enough and was curled once more. Realising that they weren't going to eat one another made me happy. Maybe if I introduce Onyx next? I was only afraid that the fear would cause Onyx to spray. Maybe Amber then?

I spent the whole day introducing my animals to each other and trying to get them to get along. It was only when I could no longer see, that I stood and turned the lights on, realising that I had lost a whole day. Oops! I had forgotten to eat as well!
