Sobe and Johann
Aug/Sept '03
Sobe, the love of my life, recently acquired an adoptive brother named Johann. He was only a few weeks old and more dead than alive when I found him - with an upper respiratory infection, severe bilateral eye infection, blind in one eye due to severe ulceration secondary to the infection, chunks of fur missing from a flea infestation, with extremely labored breathing and emaciated to the point of being too weak to eat.
Sobe initially was defensive and territorial and tried to lunge at Johann several times. In the beginning I kept them separated. I gradually introduced them to each other and within a couple of days they were best friends!
