Well, a week has passed since Kestrel, (or Kessy) came home. MhAire and Kestrel are cautiously checking each other out. There are a few battles with Mhaire but nothing serious. Peter tries not to get involve, but seems to be cautiously feeling out the situation. Kessy and Kian are still going at it. I have ti hand it to Kian, he's persistant. He tries to pick on her, she skunks him, lets out her high pitched battle cry and launches a counter offensive. Each time she's made him retreat. BTW she's 1.5 lbs. He's 3.5 lbs. In fact, sometimes she presses her attack just to make sure he gets the message. When ever Kian tries to grab her, she slips away like a greased pig. Kian and Peter are doing much better. Occationally Kian takes his frustration out on Peter (For those of you who are Animaniac fans it's kind of like Pesto and Squid: "CHOMP Peter: Ow! What did I do? Kian: Nothing! I just felt like it.")
