#they insist on being in the same room when home alone (Juni crated Banjo loose in same room

[arlo-venn]

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned, but we’ve been keeping Juni and Banjo separate from each other for the past several weeks due to an increase in fights (we think it’s from moving Arlo upstairs so it’s a weird transition period for them). They do still get to play outside in the yard together bc there aren’t any triggers out there for them, but inside they’ve been mostly apart and closely monitored. There is some resource guarding involved but mostly it’s that Juni gets pushed over threshold and then Banjo’s barking right next to her at the same trigger causes Juni to redirect toward her. Juni punctured Banjo AND Tyrell during the big fight that caused the separation (because Arlo passed by the other side of the door). They’re doing better though. We have long lines in the living room so we can all be in the same room together without them being able to reach each other (Not Arlo, none of them are ready for that), which seems to work for them.

Anyway, that’s why this picture is so cute. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen them laying together.
