Charlie cannot take his eyes off Chloe. She is absolutely fearless and has the personality of a nineteen-year-old surfer chick. \u201cLiving with a coyote? Yeah, I\u2019m game. And a cat who thinks he\u2019s king? If that\u2019s his trip, I\u2019ll play along.\u201d Charlie is smitten. She\u2019s got him wrapped around her tiny paw. <\/p>\n
For the first few days, Charlie was a bit perplexed by the whole thing; he was never aggressive or afraid, just perplexed. Though immediately curious and eager to sniff and lick her, he got nervous when she advanced toward him and he would scooch away. But within two days, he was letting her climb all over him and chew on his tail and now they tussle and romp and play and then curl up to nap. Charlie\u2019s incredibly gentle with her and unusually patient. He comes in from outside to check on her if he hears her whimpering and brings her food \u2013 in fact, he will not eat until after she has eaten. <\/p>\n
Eli is unfazed by having a puppy in the house – I think he\u2019s relieved Charlie has a playmate and he can reign from his various perches in peace. From the beginning, Eli allowed Chloe to crawl over him and even lay on him, but if she gets too playful, he swats her across the face with no remorse whatsoever and she gives him the puppy eyes but they have no effect.<\/p>\n
The one very funny quirk is that Charlie is having a difficult time sharing his toys. If Chloe starts playing with a stuffed animal, Charlie creeps in beside her, slowly and a little insecure, with a look that says, \u201cum\u2026. I don\u2019t want to bother you, I know you\u2019re new here and all, but, um, that\u2019s my<\/em> toy\u2026 um, here, let me just\u2026\u2026\u201d and he very gently takes a corner of the toy and slowly slides it away from Chloe and takes it to the other side of the room. Chloe doesn\u2019t care, she\u2019s moved on to a bone by the time Charlie turns around again, and the same look comes over Charlie\u2019s face, \u201cWait, no\u2026 um, Chloe\u2026 um, that\u2019s actually mine, too<\/em>\u2026…\u201d Eventually he gives up and gives in to her, and I\u2019ll catch them lying on the floor side by side, chewing on opposite ends of a toy or antler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Charlie cannot take his eyes off Chloe.
