Willow, the Quaker, has been with us for three days. He seems to be doing very well and is very interactive with us.
I did a lot of research before we brought him home because I wanted to do everything right and avoid all of the known problems. I was cautioned against letting him sit on our shoulders, so I've been very careful about that.
My question is whether he needs to be excluded from our shoulders all the time, or if we just need to limit the amount of time he spends there. I let him on my shoulder some the first day so he would feel comforted and secure, but we haven't allowed him to perch on anyone's shoulder since. We are playing the "towel game" and he seems to enjoy snuggling in a towel as a way of being close.
If you have any advice about allowing him on our shoulders, I'd appreciate hearing it.
Thanks!
