Fate was not happy to see Bud when he arrived, she snarled and nipped at him. But and Red loved one another from the first, but Fate was standoffish and sometimes hostile.

She is not as easy going as Red, and she values her own space and bones. Bud does not take no for an answer, he worked a getting to know her, he challenged her to play and wore down her resistance.

Last night, the two of them lay down by the wood stove, Fate Put her head on Bus and the two of them soaked up the warmth together. It was one of those moments that touch the heart, Bud seems to be savoring the life he never had the chance to have. He is making the most of it.
