Sylvia who is fostered in Yakima, WA got to come stay with us for a night and 2 days while her foster mom and sis went on a fun 2 day trip to Canada. Because Sylvia has some very similar trust issues like Timken has we wondered how she and Tim would do together. Also we were very curious as to how Sylvia would do away from her foster family as she has been with them for 3 months now and had not spent a night away from them.

| We were so proud of Tim to be sweet and gentle and welcome Sylvia to his foster home. She was nervous and wanted to stay out on the porch as long as she could, but Tim joined her on the bed she found and she let him sit next to her for quite some time. Tim is on the left. |

| Here you can see little Sylvia standing looking in the doorway. I was hiding behind a partial wall and just had the camera sticking out to snap the picture. |
 |
| Sylvia working up the courage to look inside the doorway. She did manage to come in about 8 ft on her own but quickly decided she was safer outside for the time being. Here she is looking in. I zoomed in so you could see her cute self. |
 |
| About 6 hours in we felt she needed to come in the house. She was not happy when I had to insist she come in but she did end up letting Dave pick her up, even though she was terrified, and she did snuggle in the blanket next to him for quite some time. She is so sweet, she wants to trust, like Tim, but just needs a lot of time and going slow to get there. |

Tim and Sylvia were fine in the same house. Tim let her be as did the rest of our pack, so all in all things went very well.
Sylvia sure was happy to get back to her foster mom and sis. She did not have near enough time to warm up to us, although she did wag her tail a couple of times and we could see she would like to trust us if we had more time. Such a good girl. Head over to her foster mom's blog as there will be some news she is going to be sharing soon about little Sylvia!

Awe! That's so sweet. They're both such little cuties. I've been looking through the New Rattitude site for a little while now, and reading your blog on Timken. He's one of the most good looking ratties I've ever seen. I wish I could bring him home, I'm just not sure he'd be comfortable here. (Also don't know if I'd be approved as a potential adoptive mama). I do wish him the best though and I will continue to read about him and his adventures. I'm so smitten with him!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your interest in Timken! He is a special boy that is for sure. Thank you for following along, it always makes my day to know someone is reading the blog and enjoying it. :)
