This is the first successful playtime since kodas bad operation. We tried a couple weeks ago but she still wasn't 100% and just wanted to hide behind me so I gave in and ended it.
This morning I'm so so happy to say they both had great fun koda was bouncing around like a puppy-rabbit and demon was a gentleman, wagging tails all round!

Love that third photo.

Those are great shots! Third is my favorite, also!

we hit a bit of a milestone today! not only was demon released into kodas garden for the first time but its also the first time ive set up a pup playtime on my own without backup watching in the event something went wrong.
so proud of both of them, they had great fun and theyll sleep like logs tonight. i tried to keep them both at the meadowy part and out of the woods incase demon got abit overwhelmed in a new surrounding. unfortunately they cant be left out there unsupervised as the garden just isnt demon secure even though its ok for koda( in some small places theres tattered fences only 4 feet high, in others its just a baricade of sticks where walls have crumbled)
unfortunately theres no point spending money trying to secure it as we may be moving house within the year.
none the less im really proud of how their relationship is developing, hopefully we'll reach a point in the future where they can co-habitate for all but meal times

ditto Eric's admiration of 3rd photo!
they sure look like they have finally accepted each other! -- in spades!
