Prancer and Maartina joined us during a snowstorm in January, 2026. Their home had been sold and they needed a retirement placement. They were happily welcomed.
These two have really been fun to watch integrate. Prancer is very protective and dominant over Maartina, and for the first few weeks, that poor girl couldn’t move without him standing in her way. As they settled in, their personalities began to shine through.
Prancer is generally dominant and likes to remind me of that with occasional morning spit fests (although he’s getting better). He is quirky and wants so bad to be part of the broader herd but just isn’t sure it’s the right time. He will now let me pet him – you can tell he wants to hate it but really loves it.
Maartina is the sweetest girl. Now that she has her own little “girl herd” squad, she has really come into her own and has developed a quiet independence. She is still reluctant to let me get too close, but every day we’re making strides.
