Best friends

Yesterday Sebastian turned 11 and we celebrated both him and four weeks with Elbereth as well. We had a small party. Elbereth now knows and appreciates those members of her extended family that live close by and is of course doted upon by all.

Sebastian and Elbereth are great buddies. Elbereth considers Sebastian a sibling and he is the one that gets chewed on the most. We are trying to get him to understand that his rapid movements around her trigger this behavior from her, but being 11, it is difficult to move more slowly and calmly. Now they have one toy that will be used only by those two when they are together, in the hope that Elbereth will find this new game more fun than treating him as another puppy. The next few days will show if this idea works or not. In two days Tom goes back to work and Sebastian will have to take care of Elbereth alone a few hours each day for the next two weeks. We are confident that he will manage.
