Hooray,
Eddie is civilized. I opened the front door to let Niko in but instead Eddie was standing there by Niko who was laying on the bean bag bed. Eddie came right in and went up to the loft and settled on the landing which is his place of go when he is not confident enough for Niko's bed. So Eddie likes to be inside the warm house. An hour ago I came inside after hanging out with Eddie and Niko in front of the house for about an hour trying to coax Eddie closer to the horrible house. Anyway all is well and all will have a good warm dry night.

I let Niko in and he settled onto his bed in the loft joined in short order by Eddie. For some reason known so far only to Eddie he insists on hanging out on the landing when I'm in the loft, unless I'm sleeping. I haven't figure this one out yet. I think he asscoiates the house with me and the two of us together are just too scary. Anyway it seems that Eddie with the help of a cold rainy night outside has overcome his fears of the house once again.
