Overdue Update!

Well, we haven't checked in for awhile, so we thought it was passed due. Sorry, but we have been spending all of our time playing with dogs!

All is well in the Kingdom! We have had great progress, and some minor setbacks. Overall things are going better than anyone could have dreamed. All three dogs have settled into their roles thanks to Mom's patient ambassador skills. Willie and Edward have decided to live in peace, and can now be left to play unsupervised. Bella loves to run and play no matter who will join her.

Edward has become a real clown. Like the character Marmaduke, he just doesn't know how big he is, and that has resulted in some comical situations. Has night I awoke to bumps in the night, only to discover that Edward had managed to squeeze his entire 60 pound frame under the bed to create his own "den". He also sits in your lap like he thinks he is a Pomeranian, all the time crushing the poor human that he has designated his huggie buddy.

Bella is a sweet and loving dog that likes to sleep at the foot of the bed. So you can imagine our suprise when she had to be muzzled during her latest trip to the vet! Seems that Bella, like Edward has a life long problem with itchy skin eruptions that get scratched into sores. So the vet was trying to get a scraping to check for bacteria, and Princess Bella went primal on him, hair raised and all. Thanks to Mom and a patent doctor, all is well, and the itchy patches are healing.
