Just went in to check on the furkids to find them in deep sleep.
Baileys needed somE coaxing to lie in his crate today but would willingly go into Maen's. Maen on the contrary, went into Baileys when Mr Liow asked Baileys to get into his own 'room'. Maen will take any crate and Mr Liow wondered if we should let Baileys have Maen's since he seems to prefer hers and Maen has no real preference. Only thing that we are worried about is that Maen's crate is slightly smaller and Baileys will have lesser space to move around.
Knowing that our furkids have butts made from gold, I left a cushion inside Baileys' crate before asking to go 'sleep' about an hour ago, hoping that will help Baileys settle into his crate better. Baileys hates to step onto uneven surfaces and I think that's one reason why he prefers Maen's crate: the smaller crate has a flat bottom and the larger one has 2 'drains' and a plastic covering which i believe should be for the purpose of separating pee from the animal in the crate. That is the more costly crate among the 2 and supposedly of a better quality but that of course didn't matter to them both.
The cushion made a difference. I found both of them snuggled together on ther small cushion inside Baileys' crate. Both were sound asleep. So sweet. Hee. I'll look for another cushion for Maen so that she has her own cushion. Hopefully both will get used to sleep apart for now.
That reminds me, if we had no AN, I'm very certain Maen would have dragged that cushion I gave them into one of the crates on her own. Maen used to have a toy box where she would go to choose her 'toy of the day' to play with Baileys.
Since AN started crawling, the toy box was removed (so that AN wouldn't chew on their toys). It is unfair to them, very unfair. I am just grateful they learn without having us teach them, to get used to every change that came both gradually and suddenly.
I can't say enough how much I love them for their unconditional love.
Babies, mummy and papa love you both. Stay strong dung the trip back ok? And thank God for the shorter quarantine period!!
