Got home today from 2 weeks abraod, in which time I was worried that Salty would develop disinterest or even hatred because to him, I abandoned him. I mean my family did lots of interaction and even training with, and I even set up a Skype account so I could have video chats with him. I am happy to say he seems OK with me by bed time. Initially he was standoffish, even pushing my hand and fingers away from him when I first got home. But a few pine nuts, and attempts at giving scratches seems to have opened the flood gates. Once again he is my shoulder buddy, wrestling like he loves and we had a 45 min scratching session. Wait til he sees his gifts from China . Some dried fruits and a beautiful little treat cup that clips between the bars. I am one relieved pirate, mates.
