It was bittersweet for Eljay, too. His stiff legs did not allow long journeys, and he had enjoyed very much having the whole family right there. Another might have enjoyed reclaiming some of his peace and silence, but not Eljay; he could not have had too much of living with his family. He understood the need for space, however, and of course he would help them move.

He, too, remained quiet as they relocated, and he helped gently nudge the pups if they needed coaxing. It seemed like Eljay's presence helped them leave their trusted home, for he had been a part of their previous one since they were born, which warmed the grandfather's heart as much as it saddened it now that they would not live right by his side. He did not allow his melancholy to overpower his joy to see his growing grandchildren come into their own further and be big enough for the move, however.
