Jerry's Story

I Wait for the Room to Exhale <br/><br/>I'm Jerry, and I operate under the firm belief that sudden movement means someone is about to leave forever. Because of this, I stay low, stay still, and keep my exits memorized. I don't rush greetings. I don't volunteer trust. I wait. But if you happen to sit down quietly and let your hand travel slowly down my back, I will immediately lift my butt like I've been waiting for you my entire life.<br/><br/>Eating has been... negotiable. Sometimes I need proof that the room is settled. Sometimes I need a witness. I'm not refusing food - I'm monitoring the situation. Keep things calm, pet me correctly, and stay put long enough, and I'll decide it's safe to proceed. I am extremely brave about this, internally. Will you hold my paw along the way?
