Jemma&Theo
Mama Doe
Ever since I had Theo he has always been anti-social but he did like the occasional bit of fuss.
Him and Cleo live outside and as such dont get too much human contact- especially over the winter. . . I can understand them not being so used to being stroked etc....
However, Cleo still loves being stroked but Theo is a nightmare. All he does is pull Cleo's hair out and chase her when people are around (although they do love each other when they are alone)
I try to stroke him and all he does is growl and try and box me- I just dont get him. Will he ever be happy? Its really depressing because I cant go out and Fuss Cleo because he runs over to 'break it up' and nips her bum and they both run off together.......
I just feel like with Earl and with Cleo - that looking after them is worthwhile and enjoyable but with Theo i just feel I can never make him happy and I feel guilty that Cleo is having to put up with his constant moods.
Does anyone else ever feel so rejected by one of their buns that they wonder if it was ever worth it? I just cant see why he isnt like the others. I know netherlands are notoriously moody ..... Is it too late to try to 'tame' him again? Like when he was a baby?
