You see on TV all the time about unlikely friendships between certain animals. A gorilla snuggling with a kitten, tigers with dogs... and so forth. It's all designed to make us go awwww and look in amazement at the ability of animals to actually bond beyond their own kind. Right now I'm trying to help instigate a friendship between Chris' dog and a bunny. Or more like trying to create a sort of 'not run around killing each other' kind of bond. So far it seems to be working. Bunny doesn't look scared of doggy anymore. He even grooms himself and eats when doggy is sitting right next to him. He'll even come over to sniff around doggy if I keep doggy really still. But is it really possible for dogs to suppress their natural urge to chase anything that moves or for rabbits to suppress their natural fear of anything big and loud? It's just like how human relationships work sometimes. Compromise, give and take. Suppress the urge to run or give chase.
Anyway, Chris and I make a funny pair in the evenings when we take both the dog and Bunny out for a walk. Both on purple leashes. And to think I used to find it funny when people took their ferrets out for walks.
