Feeling sorry for Harley

Fellie

Warren Veteran
I think Harley is happy - hard to tell though. She is bonded with Bobo who is lovely but can be the most aggressive, grumpiest thing at feeding time - and ALWAYS grunts and chases after Harley when I bring breakfast and their evening snack. I try and be sneaky and put down his food first and then once his back is turned - I give Harley her bowl but he gets so excited he really has a good go at her. I don't know if he is actually biting her - I haven't seen any grey fur pulled out but still. And then after breakfast he turns back into his normal smoodgy self, demanding some grooming off her.

I think she still adores him like she always has done - but I do feel for her sometimes. I cannot offer her any additional strokes or cuddles - she hates being touched by humans but I do check her over every day to make sure she is not underweight (under all that hair it's hard to tell by looking) and I check for any bite marks but she seems healthy enough in that aspect anyway. She seems happy enough when she comes out for a run - lots of energy and binkies as normal. But I almost feel guilty - as though I've arranged a marriage for her with a nice enough bloke on the surface but prone to aggression - and I wouldn't want that for anyone, never mind my baby girl. I just can't tell though if she IS happy. And what to do about it if she isn't.

It's strange - with the other buns, I can more or less tell with them, what is going on - happy, naughty, stubborn, guilty, sulky, moody, angry - but with her it's difficult. But I love her to bits - and just want the best for her. I just feel so sorry for her sometimes...and like I've let her down somehow. :roll::(
