Thanks everbody.

Vermontcat, no, Bob isn`t allowed on my bed, Ive had him since he was six weeks and so he was easily trained not to get on the bed and stuff. Well, it wasn`t easy for me, he was such a cutie pup! Anyways, while he doesn`t sleep on the bed he does sleep in my bedroom some of the night and has to see me into bed and then get his two buscuits. That`s why I am having such late nights right now, I have to lock Ebby away at bedtime and I don`t want to so I keep putting it off. Sometimes she makes it easy by going in there herself to lie on birdcage perch, I don`t feel so bad about closing the door then.

Cataholic, she just came in here about 5 minutes ago, and yes, I did take a couple more pics! No wonder my flash batteries keep giving out!

I took Bob in to see her again today, (she was already in her hidey hole under the sofabed). He didn`t see her at first and I thought it was going to be a reapeat of the first time, and then he spotted her! If only I`d been able to hold a camera as well as him on the lead, the expression his face was priceless! I didn`t let him get too close, and he didn`t pull, bless him. Ebby made some sort of noise, could have been a hiss, and he growled a little also, but then I just had him sit and they sort of stared at each other a while. And that was it really! Slowly does it as they say.
The one thing I want to avoid is a full on confrontation, I am very sure that Bobby would not take a swipe with the claw at all well. He has never had any physical punishment and the one time he really bit me was because of pain, or fear of it.

Once again, thanks for the nice comments and heartening words.
