yesterday kuan yin was sleeping in the nursery and i put the boys (ferrets) in there to nap for awhile. well, a bit later i opened the door to check in on them (dogs were out so i closed it)..and what do i see?
two little boys curled in a ball and kuan yin laying proudly over them looking lovingly at "her babies". she looked up and closed her eyes but also gave me the impression of "well, it's about time you came back..i've been watching these two for hours!".
i had to lay down and observe. baby bear started to wake and stretched out, belly up, and face pointed lovingly up at kuan yin. she put her nose down as if prepared to kiss him..looked lovingly at him..purred...and
CLAMPED DOWN ON HIS NECK LIKE A VAMPIRE!
not to worry, they play rough with her all the time but baby bear was half asleep and caught a bit offguard and shrieked.
i guess that's what you call tough love??
