Bruno’s first afternoon with us was just as expected – he was unsure of everything and on his guard. But Bruno’s first evening changed everything for him.
Bruno watched from his giant terrarium as my husband, Fred, and I sat on the sofa, with our dog, Simon, between us, watching tv. I noticed that Bruno kept watching the three of us and after an hour, he started scrambling at the glass (“glass surfing”). I knew what he wanted – he wanted to be part of the family – so I took him out and brought him over to join us. I sat him on my leg, next to Simon, and every muscle in his body relaxed. The four of us stayed there for a couple of hours as Bruno instantly became part of the family.
How did I know what he wanted? I trust my instincts, and when I get a message from an animal, I believe it.
