Banshee

Banshee's first real discs

Discs and quirks.

Banshee and Chase.

Banshee is exactly like Samus (and Atari) in so many ways,

so I couldn't go on any longer holding off getting her some real discs that we can throw safely. She's been using the Wild at Heart foam rings so we could tug with them, but they are way too unsafe to throw. They lost their straight shape after only a couple days of having them.

Chase and Banshee Disc

But one adorable thing I did not anticipate: she actually finds the plastic disc aversive! She loves the sport too much to write it off, but so far, she will always reject the first one thrown. Waits for it to fall and then scoops it. Chase's first, and then my first immediately after. She rathers the foam disc flying overhead. I get it, but at the same time, this is the little football player who will smash her head into windows and dead-goat into my skull to fall asleep at night. It almost feels like a victory to find something that she finds physically aversive. It feels like our relationship moved a tiny step forward.
