The power of boxwork and place. Regional’s adoptable Icy/Shadow is having a sleepover so she can attend an event tomorrow. This pretty pup is a hard no to living with cats. They are just too tempting to chase and most likely harm so we are just managing since it’s just for a night. Icy has a NDT foundation so putting her on one of the cots, she understands she needs to stay even though there’s a kitty just across the room. After a few, long, minutes, she has stopped vibrating and stopped fixating and is actually relaxing in the presence of Brinn. She is certainly not cured but with the right human in charge, this relationship could possibly shift to being able to safely cohabitate.
Icy is a very excitable pup, even at 5 years old. Her foster mom has been working on getting her to learn to settle but she just wiggles with excitement when meeting new people and it can be a bit overwhelming. Boxwork is going to be her potential adopters best friend at harnessing that energy.
