Aidan – Willing to Pairbond?

There are times when Aidan shows his tendency to pair bond with Luna (as shown in this photo, standing shoulder to shoulder with Luna), then there are times when Luna drives him to avoidance behavior.  We know Aidan can pair bond.  We have fond memories of he and Maya pair bonding in what turned out to be the last few weeks of Maya’s life.  Aidan is extremely possessive of pups (yes, even Luna) and has a strong associative behavior with Denali.  But, pair bonding takes two and when the energy level is calm, we see the possibility in Luna.  Unfortunately, these calm moments don’t last long and she’s back to wrestling with Boltz or tossing a deer hide in the air.  Aidan is strong and we are on a good path of treatment for his Discoid Lupus. The presence of pups next summer will stimulate prolactin.  We know Aidan can bond, maybe the prolactin stimuli will be to key to maturing Luna’s behavior.
