Claire and Admiral

Claire has taken a while to warm up to Admiral.  In the early days, there was shaking and tears when he came close.  Now, she likes to chase after him and if he's busy eating a bone (the only time he sits still) she'll crawl up and pet his back.

He's not normally inside when we are eating because he's a scavenger... Claire is too, she can find the tiniest piece of food, paper, dirt on the floor and eats it before we can stop her.  They are a kindred spirit I think.

Anyway, he was in the house while she was having some Cheerios.  He knew the chances of flying food were high and she was keeping a very close eye on him.  I just love how she leans forward to see him and has a little grin on her face.
