Nikos Bed

Earlier I had closed the gate to the deck after Eddie had settled on the bean Bag bed and Niko on the folded blue bed. I think Eddie has charmed the grouch Niko with his good heartedness and general politeness. It is clear that Eddie is really trying hard to be good and not cause any offense. I Think Niko has figured out that Eddie is a bit different. They had a dinner of bbq ground turkey and ground peanut butter mixed veggies and rice. I fed Eddie on the deck near the gate by hand after he would not eat from the T. Wik plate and looked really conflicted. He more or less finished the turkey chunks covered the veggie sauce. Niko finished off the rest allowing Eddie observe him eating off the terrifying plate. I'm trying to get Eddie to eat on the deck to avoid food smells in the snow that seem to be attracting the coyotes. We found some scat in the driveway within 12 feet of the house this morning.

Earlier the barbecue click starter got Eddies attention and he went inside up to the loft and settled with very little hesitation on Niko's bed. I'm very glad he is coming to regard the loft as a safe zone. Later after dinner they both came inside. Niko came and sat beside me and Eddie nosed and sniffed Niko's bed but would not get on. Niko had offered but finally took the bed himself after Eddie paced around a bit. He is back on the floor beside the bed now. Its hard not like such a peaceful good natured animal. Niko has really been cooperating nicely in Eddie's adjustment.
