We have moved Aurora to the bottom section of our TCN, locking the ladder for most of the day. As I type this she cuddled up in a nest full of a whole receipt paper roll. She does enjoy visiting with most of the mischief, however, our new girl Niki seems to really irritate her. Now looking back, timing of adding her was a poor choice on our part. Aurora had the protective mama hormones just starting to surge and knows most likely this new girl won't be watching out for her 'babies' like the rest of the girls in the mischief (her mama, sisters, nieces and Celtic Rose who we added when Aurora was just 5 weeks). Of course that is only our observations as we wish they could talk and tell us what they really want/need.
Her and Apollo have still had a few visits during the evenings but she has not gone back into heat. The only problem they have had together is when he wants to eat what she is eating. You can almost hear her say, "Seriously, I am the one with the cravings and you dare want my noodle!?!" I cannot wait to see the temperaments of their babies. She has always been the quiet sweet snuggle girl and Apollo is our huge cuddly oaf, reminding us of Ludo (Labyrinth 1986).
