#Juni n banjo live upstairs

[arlo-venn]

I can’t believe I live in a three dog household where Arlo is the least problematic and the most angelic of the bunch

#so proud of how far he’s come #he’s not been reactive in years #he is still fear aggressive with 90% of dogs and 100% of men but I don’t see either of those as flaws #his man hatred has saved my life on more than 3 occasions #his favorite kind of dog: tiny boys (if neutered) #we have a tiny neighbor named Digger and he gets very excited to see him when they’re in the yards at the same time #and it’s so healing to see him play bowing at a dog after all he’s been through #but I can’t let him play bc Digger’s mom is kind of unsettling and I think her vibe would set Arlo up for failure #he wouldn’t hurt digger but he might get snarly if diggers mom makes him nervous #so they just say hi through the fence #he does NOT like juni #he is indifferent to banjo but she doesn’t really like him so he’ll lunge and growl if she comes near (there are no instances where #they interact at all dw) #me n Arlo live in the basement with our own set of doors #Juni n banjo live upstairs #my cats get free rein of the whole house EXCEPT as of recently since Juni is turning out to not be very good with cats #so now they’re in the basement with us during the day when the upstairs dogs are home #free reign at night and while Tyrell and thom are working #the Juni with cats thing is actually sort of bizarre— she’s only iffy with them when I (their parent) is around #she gets VERY upset if i pet Ottilie in front of her #resource guarding maybe? but she doesn’t resource guard me from banjo like she does w Tyrell #Juni is complex #banjo is an enigma and hard to read #I love them all even if they’re all a lil nutty #banjo and Juni are reactive #Juni only while on leash #she’s making progress #I haven’t walked banjo in a while so I’m not sure where her progress there lies #but she’s still reactive in the yard #anyway I’m proud of Arlo
