maya – Dec 1, 2008 12:00 AM

Maya has become much more relaxed in the last few weeks. The first rush of winter hormones generally results in a higher intensity interaction, but as winter settles in, she is much better with Aidan. We have also started to notice her social bonding behavior with Shadow. This includes parallel gates, intense facial licking and submitting to Shadow. Shadow takes it in stride, but there are times when her ride-up behavior is a bit to much and he dominates her. What's most interesting, is that Aidan is right next to Shadow during these times, and greets Maya when she's submissive to Shadow.
