Maybe ask him why he is hostile to strangers, and why he is not affectionate to anyone except Eli. Is he unhappy? What does he like best, or what can we do to help him be more happy and comfortable?
Thanks so much!!
Smudge
said Smudge is so happy you are here again. Smudge feels a need to use Smudge’s talent and make everyone understand that Smudge can protect Smudge’s family. Sometimes Smudge doesn’t believe any or every one sees how powerful Smudge is. Smudge knows everyone has different degrees of abilities but Smudge thinks biting is Smudge’s way of getting recognized . OF course Eli does not need Smudge to nudge him because Eli pushed through the barriers and made a loving connection with Smudge. Eli sees Smudge and it empowers both Smudge and Eli.
Smudge has a special connection with Mom’s son…. they see each other.
