Third time bonding
I stood at the enclosures gate, carrying a brand new ball toy and halter. Lunars old ball lay in a corner, battered and sadly deflated. I never saw her go full on out playing but the toys state gave her away. Strangely some toys had up and vanished. Lunar had to have hidden them somewhere, but i couldnt figure out where.
The items in hand, i walked inside and called out for her. There was rustling and rummaging in her shed and she staggered out a few moments later.
"Oh someones tired, i didnt mean to wake you girl!"
After hearing my voice she caught herself pretty quickly, returning to her usual regal self. I offered her a treat and she gracefully accepted. She nipped at the ball in my hand, trying to dislodge it from my grasp. I took up the halter to divert her attention and let her investigate it. Lunar sniffed it quickly before deeming the thing quite boring and returning to the ball.
I then placed the halter over the ball. If she wanted her toy, shed have to at least touch that halter, maybe even stick her nose trough it.
And after a bit of hesitation, she did just that. I gave her some time and passed her another treat before finally pulling the halter on. I left it loose, if she was to panic a simple shake of the head would rid her of it.
She scoffed at the new sensation but stayed calm. I sighed a breath of relief, praised her and quickly slipped it back off. That was enough for today. To her joy, i dropped the ball and left her to it.
