I mentioned this in a post about Gwacie's getting the bio done for foster Georgie.  Poor Zipper is in a funk now that Nala Belle is here.  Not that she is doing anything intentionally to him.  Since Nala arrived Cameo has found a new play friend and Zipper feels left out and ignored.  Zipper was also discicplined for being too rough with Nala so he does his best to keep away from her now, not that it does much good because when the little monste-er-miss is about she'll go after him too.  If he tries to defend himself he gets in trouble and we have to snatch her up for his own good, as we do when Nala is attack-er-playing with Cameo.

Zipper is really a very good boy and I feel bad for him.  This is the second of three major changes in his life recently.  First when he was surrendered and brought here to a new home, now with the arrival of Nala Belle and the loss of Cameo's attentions, and then this week he will be going to his new forever home.  I don't know what I can do for his spirits other than give him attention and reassure him.

aaww, that's too bad. there's always an adjustment period when a new dog enters the pack, as I'm sure you found out with all your fosters. but since he's leaving to go to his new forever home in a few days(?), there's not too much you can do other than give him a little one on one time with you.
