The Mauzer is not that smart, but I’m also not the brightest bulb in the sock drawer. I mean, when it comes to brain power, the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead. You get the idea.
Thing is, Reiko and I are having relationship issues and neither of us can figure out why.
Since the beginning of the year, Reiko has been regressing. She seems even more terrified of me than before and scurries off at instant of my appearance. She has lapsed totally in her housetraining and seems frightened of going outside.
She still sleeps under the bed and will still come and take treats from my hand, but she does so without any confidence.
I have to say it is disheartening. We are approaching the 3 month point in our relationship and I had hoped we’d be further along. An occasional pat or chin scratch. Maybe sitting closer than10 feet away or at least not reacting as though I was Satan incarnate each time we meet.
Oh well, I know some dogs take more time than others so we’ll continue on, but neither of us seem to know how to transition from room mates to family.
We’re dunces.
Love to hear from ya
