FERN ACCEPTS HOWIE (Patreon)

I’m so excited because today was the first day that Howie has been accepted by any of the foxes. Everyone else just wants to bite him, but Fern completely ignored him which is so great!

Most of this video is me talking at the animals, we believe in positive affirmations in this house. I didn’t realize how much I was speaking to them until I edited the video. I got lost in my own excitement and nervousness. I edited out some parts that were a bit loud but I still recommend turning your volume down for this one.

In this video I correct Howie quite a bit for going toward Fern. This isn’t because I don’t want them to interact, but because if Howie approaches Fern while he isn’t comfortable it could ruin the entire process. Once Fern lashes out once to keep distance between them it’s more likely he’ll do it again, so for now it’s easier to allow Fern to be the one who approaches while I prioritize teaching Howie to sit and watch patiently.
