Sable Love

Sable and Eva's relationship has slowly been evolving since we brought Eva home.  Prior to this, Sable was an only child.  She enjoyed getting all of daddy's attention.  There was no one to compete with (other than me, and that didn't phase her). When Eva came home I don't think Sable quite knew how to react.  I envisioned her saying "Who is this tiny person taking my daddy away from me?"  At first, she wanted nothing to do with Eva.  One time Sable was sitting on Chris' chest and I gave him Eva and Sable darted away very quickly (I was able to snap a picture first)!

Over the past few months I have watched as Sable has started to accept Eva.  She began by smelling her feet and walking away.  A few days later she inched forward and smelled her head.  Pretty soon she was joining Chris on the couch while he held Eva.  Sable will even lay on her play-mat with her!  Eva has also started to pay attention to Sable.  She has grabbed a handful of fur (Sable was a trooper and didn't flinch). Since then Eva has attempted to be a little more gentle by rubbing her fingers through Sable's fur.  I think they will become the best of buds!
