So yesterday we decided to separate them just until I got home from work around 5pm. (early day I know!!) After that, it's been trying to get things back to normal. Sudance is still pretty pissed off and hissing like a banshee (do banshees hiss?) whenever he's too close or frankly, whenever she seems to feel like. (She will sometimes just walk up to him and hiss. We were so excited the first time we saw her approaching him, b/c she just came really close, took a sniff and then hissed...and charged.) It's really the charging that we're most worried about...but we've decided to let things play themselves out. Whenever she attacks him, we spray her with some water to discourage it...but we let the hissing go. It's just so annoying! Sundace will release this vicious hiss and the come up to me and whimper b/c she wants to be pet. Big sigh.
But anyway, things seemed to go okay during the night and so far this morning we have some closer contact. They seem to be able to be in the same space now, which is progress. As you can see in this photo, three or four feet seems to be the safe distance for now. We're doing as much as we can to cross their scents and get them to smell the same, but I guess it just takes time. Hopefully they won't kill each other while we're out at work today.
