When Frieda first saw Lenore at Bedlam Farm, she showed her teeth and roared and lunged at her. Lenore does not comprehend either hostility or rejection, she just rolled over on her back and wagged her tail. As the snarling Frieda approached her, Lenore reached up and licked her on the nose, and Frieda, astonished, stepped back, tilting her head at this curious and loving thing. From that moment on, Lenore and Frieda have been the best of pals. On a cold day, both of them head by the light coming into the living room with the morning sun. They are almost always together in the house.

Lenore showed Frieda how to relax, I think, how to play, how to be less intense and serious and ferocious. Frieda started to loosen up around her, and I took Lenore on all of the training sessions with Frieda. I think Lenore taught Frieda how to love.
