Gorgeous Eyes

I'd be so happy if Arien's eyes stayed this color forever!  Aren't they gorgeous??!  😍  Anyways, Arien is doing very well.  She has free roam of the entire house at all times now.  Last night was her first night not locked in a room, and I think it went well.  I made a couple beds for her with the blankets I made for her weeks ago.  I have no idea if she'll use them or not, but I hope that if she ever feels lonely while we aren't home or sleeping, that she'll cuddle up with those blankets.

Tongue Out

I woke this girl up to check on her and this was her response.  😂

Changing Eye Color

Arien is doing well and getting brave at exploring everything.  I let her roam around the basement today for the first time.  Kira didn't seem to mind that Arien was in her territory.  They are definitely becoming friends, but not at the point of grooming or cuddling with each other.  I do think they will get to that point, but only time will tell.  Right now, I can tell that Kira does like her space sometimes so she can sleep without being bothered.  But in general, Kira is much more playful and active now that Arien has joined our family and is old enough to play.  Arien's eyes are almost done changing, but there is still a ring of blue around the outside edge of the iris.  These pictures are oldest to newest.

Playtime

Arien spends quite a bit of time freely roaming the upstairs now (I try to always have a general idea of what room she is in).  Thankfully she doesn't seem interested in exploring the office which is good because she does seem to like to chew cords.  😒  Beren tries to play with her and sometimes I have to stop him because he gets too rowdy and I don't want Arien getting hurt.  Kira also likes to play with Arien, and I don't stop her because she is teaching Arien so much about boundaries, especially with biting!  Kira definitely seems to like Arien, but I think she gets annoyed with how much energy she has, but Kira has plenty of places to go that Arien can't get to yet, including the whole basement.   In general, Kira has been much more active this week which is good because she's kinda a fatty.  😂  Arien still spends the night as well as any time I'm not home in a separate room which Kira seems to appreciate.  Kira also started spending the night in bed with us again.  I'm really quite happy with how well Beren, Kira, and Arien are getting along.  ❤

Grooming Session

Arien decided to take this opportunity to groom herself.  I didn't mind.  She was actually fairly still which meant I easily got pictures of her.  She also looks super cute!  😍

Focus

She really gets focused on her toys!  Can you see how feisty she is??

Jumping Practice

Surprisingly, Arien does still fit into one hand, but sometimes she'll bite at my wrist and watch because she wants to be set down, so I only do this if she is calm.  I couldn't get Arien to sit in the bowl, no matter how hard I tried, so I laid her on her back and distracted her with a toy.  She's becoming much more confident in all her abilities, especially jumping.  She can jump from the floor to the seat of the couch instead of just climbing up.  It won't be too much longer until I am unable to keep her contained.  😬  Kira doesn't seem to mind that Arien is often left to wander around the upstairs.  In fact, Kira often seeks her out to play with her.  They still aren't affectionate friends, but they do seem to actually like each other at least a little.  😊
