It's beginning.
I'm starting to see the signs of JJ and Hazel bonding. This will be quick because it just happened and I want to get it down before I forget.
JJ was melting down in the playroom (he's been so off-kilter since we moved to Kentucky two weeks ago), screaming, crying, throwing things etc. I physically removed him to his bed room and sat him on the floor. I sat a few feet away on his bed. He continued to scream and cry. Hazel came into his room, following the noise, and she walked right up beside him and laid down so that she was circling his left side.
I moved in front of them and told Hazel "Head down" and she laid her head across JJs lap. He leaned into her and I took his hand and started stroking Hazel's neck with it. He immediately began to calm down and then kept petting her on his own. He stopped crying and looked at me and said "I hurt my head".
I didn't know before this why he had been melting down.
It's starting and I'm so excited to see it! She sought him out on her own. He calmed down in her presence and then was able to tell me what had happened to him.
This alone has made everything we went through to bring Hazel home, completely worth it!!!
