High demands

I've placed high demands on Tails lately.

To make sure she is comfortable with it, I'm only slowly turning up the discipline.  She knows what she can and can't do, of course, but so far my reactions to her minor infractions have been very mild.
That is slowly changing.

Not for sale

I bought a small gift for Tails today. It's a small leather strap that fits nicely around one of her front paws, and it has a little shiny ball on it.

She was a little puzzled at first.  I don't think she expected it at all, but once she realized what it was she seemed to think it was nice.  She even showed it off a little to a friend when we went to a cafe to meet a whole group of them.

The whole thing with Tails is starting to become truly wonderful.  I want to give her the world now, but I'm a little afraid her current owner will think that I'm trying to buy her affection.
It's not like that at all.

Another small excursion

I brought both my red panda and my dog to a movie night last night.

Jewell, the dog, was a little fidgety, but Tails, the red panda, was mostly well behaved.  Jewell isn't allowed any snacks at all due to a liver condition, but Tails can (and will!) eat pretty much anything.
She was sitting in my lap, snuggling, and I was giving her some Cheez Doodles, and I had a bit of fun with her, stuffing them in a little quicker than she could chew and swallow.  In hindsight, that was maybe not the most cuddly thing to do, but it was intended in good fun.  She reacted a little strongly to that and took out her frustration on me.
