5月13日 Zeus - Day 1It's been next to impossible to take a photo of this bundle of joy, tomorrow is another day though, these are a week old.
First and foremost! He is an Alaskan Malamute not a Siberian Husky! There are major differences the most obvious ones are in size and temperament. We came back with him at lunch time and that is when all hell broke loose. You see I happen to have two 5 year old Oriental Siamese (Akhenaton and Nefertiti) and a 3 year old Retriever Labrador (Athena), introducing an 8 weeks old malamute was never going to be easy. But I could not have predicted what was going to happen.
Zeus meets the "dreaded" Nefertiti, I was spooked, I had seen Nefertiti upset before, but Zeus' reaction was the worst. He is bigger than her in both weight and height, he literally started to panic, which caused a rather wet floor, much to Nefertiti's surprise. As for Akhenaton, he was his usual laid back curious self, and started to get along fine within the hour. I then gave Zeus his first meal and allowed Athena (the brute") to enter in a controlled environment, "the house". My house is the "cats" domain where dogs are tolerated, by the cats that is, we love having them all with us. The garden is the dogs domain, and cats are only tolerated there (in the cats mind) if and when a human is present, ideally my wife or myself. I did not expect any major problems with Athena, she is a social dog and was trained to be. However this was the first time a dog was brought into her territory. As I expected, from the "Nefertiti" reaction, Zeus was rather fearful of this new beast in is midst and each time Athena (whom had no intentions to hurt him) came my hears started to ring. Warning, should you want to get a Malamute, get ear plugs too. When he settled and allowed a perplexed Athena to inspect him from head to toe, I took him to the garden, and it all started again. Athena, playful as she is, started chasing him, and he started squalling to the top of his voice (also the threshold of my hears). The good news is that I think there are going to be best friends soon, Athena, though still perplexed, is far from aggressive... Now it's all up to Zeus to understand that. He has been sleeping his adventures off, a good 2 hours now, lets see how he handle a little (as little as him) walk... |
