Awww, Sherlock and Gladstone are very adorable. "We've just hit a breakthrough," lolol! I'm glad that Sarah, John, and Sherlock are able to maintain this balancing act, even though it's not always ideal for everyone. :)

Thanks! I thought of you while writing it, as I know you enjoy Sherlock and Gladstone interacting. They're actually quite cute with each other on their own. Thanks for commenting!

Hee, thank you for thinking of me! Yes, I do love to see Sherlock and Gladstone together. Though I just love the way you write Sherlock interacting with anybody, but it's especially interesting when it's Gladstone or Abby. They may be "just" a child and a dog, but maybe sometimes Sherlock can see a potential in them that others might not, and treats them differently than others do. :)

Thank you! What a lovely thing to say. I love writing Sherlock for the same reason. I love trying to find a way for him to show he cares without showing that he cares, and how sometimes he shows it accidentally. The fact that dogs and children don't acknowledge artifice is a gift, really, because they just carry on being loving even without cues from you. Because they pick up on the cues that you don't know you're showing.
