Step by step, we are working with Simon and Rocky to get them acclimated. There is no simple or quick way to do this. This morning, we let Rocky out and Simon came right up to him. They spent five minutes sniffing and circling one another, and then when Rocky moved towards Lulu and Fanny – he was just trying to get to the pasture – Simon’s ears went back and we separated them again. This is how it is, bit by bit, step by step. The first priority is to protect Rocky

Simon is much easier around him than he was. We are not ready to put them together without us being there yet. Maybe in a week or so. Each day we look for small opportunities for Simon to get used to this new and strange male presence. Today was a big step forward.
