Brødreaction






Etter en liten stund med løping la Biloxi seg "på hjul" bak Elísio og virkelig kjeppjaget ham. Først var jeg bittelitt usikker om han bare var generelt sint, men det viste seg raskt at det han var opptatt av var å holde den snille, lille grå så langt unna lillebror som overhodet mulig. Eilert kunne ikke engang se på Flekkulf før Veslebrunens ører forsvant og det formelig klapret i tenner og høver. Heldigvis ble det ikke så voldsomt drama, for det holdt med trusler og ble ingen kamp.
Dessuten var Santee perfekt distraksjon, for han ville jo gjerne vise storebror akkurat hvem som var størst, tøffest og kulest i verden nå. Og Biloxi var bare supergrei med lillebror, kjempetålmodig, og veldig forsiktig når han innimellom måtte si nei og sette litt grenser. Det er kanskje unødvendig å si at Santee var knallfornøyd med å herje med storebror, og veldig morsomt å se at de koste seg med lek, begge to.

After some running around, Biloxi got on Elísio's tail to chase him. At first I was a bit uncertain as to whether he was just angry, but it became apparent that what he was doing was keeping the lovely little grey well away from his little brother. Elísio couldn't even look in Santee's direction without Biloxi reacting. Luckily there was minimal biting and kicking, mostly just scary looking body language, and no fighting.
Also, Santee was a perfect distraction, because he seemed to want to show his brother just how big, and tough and cool he is now. And Biloxi was surprisingly gentle, patient and careful with him, even when he had to tell him no. Seeing the photos it might be redundant to point out that Santee had a great time with his brother, and I really enjoyed watching them both play.
