Shy and lovely, for a long long time we couldn’t get Tender to go out into the Small Animal Garden. Serendipitously, we had a filmmaker visiting us when she finally dared to explore one cold, windy day. Nowadays, she loves wrestling in the coyote garden with her companion, Whistles, and napping in the sun on warmer days. Whistles attempts to dominate her, as well as rob her of her treats; she is fierce, alongside her tenderness, and will yip, bark, growl and confidently stand her ground. It would seem that she is a force to be reckoned with.
