Ellie & Gray

This was when Gray was about 1 month old. Out of about 15 pictures, this is the only one where Ellie wasn't trying to get away!

Not sure if you can tell, but Ellie is really nervous and ready to jump up and get out of town.

Gray took Ellie to the park to play fetch.

Again, nervous and ready to jump.

Ellie was nice enough to share her chair with Gray. She didn't like it though.

Now she will actually sit with Gray as long as he is on her level. If Gray were standing up here, Ellie would get up and leave.

Nervous yawn.....Gray was "talking" to Ellie very loudly and she wasn't sure what it meant.

The stare-off.

Gray=happy

Ellie=suspicious

Ellie was our #1, until we had Gray. She is still a very spoiled dog, but doesn't receive the constant attention that she was used to. She really didn't care for Gray much in the beginning, but is slowly starting to enjoy him more. She has even started crying when Gray has a major break down. We aren't sure if this is because she is nervous, she wants attention or she feels bad for her brother.

I have been placing little treats for Ellie in Gray's fingers, knowing he would drop them. This is enough for Ellie to soften up a little. I also make sure we sit down with Ellie every day and pet her together. Gray LOVES petting Ellie and Ellie has started to paw at Gray when he stops petting her. It is so great to see her starting to like him and to see him fall in love with her. He smiles whenever he notices her. It's pretty sweet.
