I have never seen her this aggressive, even when
playing, although
she is more aggressive than the boys.<
I would bet that Emmett just smells funny after
being at the vet and having surgery. I also have
one recovering from surgery. I let Cedes out with
the others for a while starting yesterday.
Chester and Dillon just sniffed and went on. Emma
was frantic to sniff Cedes. I was holding Cedes
in my lap and finally lifted him to my shoulder.
Emma kept frantically climbing me. I was
concerned she might hurt him so I kept him away
from her. Today, she is fine. I think he just
smelled funny and she didn't recognize him.
I also let the others go into Cedes' hospital cage
while I held him to burrow in the covers, etc. I
think that helps with recognition also. Of
course, they made a total disaster of his cage.
Emma knocked the water over. I have now learned
to wait until after they explore to clean up his
cage.
