Eddie's fine!

This is going to be easier than I thought. Eddie has already bonded with me, even giving me my first "kiss" today. I was sitting in my favorite chair, watching some BS on TV, when he put his front legs on the chair as if to ask me if it was OK to come up. I encouraged him to come on up, and he jumped up and lay on my belly with his face toward me. He slowly inched his way up, and then, like a guy trying to get his first kiss on the first date, went for it, and licked me full on the mouth. I guess he likes me after all!

Now if I can just cure him of his really obnoxious (he goes absolutely ape-shit aggressive) way of greeting anyone who comes in the door or walks by in the courtyard, we'll be fine.
