Elwood and company

Elwood has been great at handling all the company and things we've been up to. Since he's been allowed upon the love seat upstairs, he's feeling like it's his chair, just the right length for him to stretch out on as long as his blanket is on it.

He walks up to the couch, puts his head on it and looks out the side of his eyes at us to see if it's OK. (However he has no issues hopping up if no one is around, but only if the blanket is on it.  Even he has rules)

Since Winnie has come to visit, Elwood has worked through his jealousy issues, and now doesn't worry about Winnie in our affections.  Well, most of the time.  He even lets her up on our bed which has been his very special treat. He's only allowed up on our bed to say good morning  to whomever hasn't gotten out of bed yet, or if we have a weekend read and coffee.   He greats the bed occupier with GREAT enthusiasm. Let me just say 37 kilos of excited dog is a real wake up call.

Elwood and Winnie have come a long way. They've gone from sitting at opposite sides of the room, to hanging out, last week.

(I've removed the photo of Graham reading with the dogs. - He's shy)

This week they progressed again, and now they even touch when they snooze!  Life is good.

anyone know what vegetable this is going to become?


It's supposed to be either a cabbage, or cauliflower, but the rain washed the names off all our plant identification sticks.
