It's Been Awhile...

and I know I promised myself I'd blog more this year. What happened?

Update on the dogs:
Flash is doing TONS better. He still has his moments. I'm thinking more about his behaviour, and his biggest phobia is new situations [not terribly uncommon] and the door. He's afraid of the door - as I think he thinks it's going to pinch him when he comes in the house. Coming in the house can totally freak him out. He's getting better around men - and warming to Alan more. He even sleeps with us in bed at night.

Gracie. She's very loving and friendly. Loves to lick your face and can be held like a baby. She's still *very* enthusiastic about things, and follows you everywhere to the point of being annoying. Her new nick-name is "chicane." She has also stolen 3 peanut butter & jelly sandwhiches off the counter [2 in one day no less] because someone in the house makes them, leaves them close to the edge, then walks away to do something else. She's also about to start a new vitamin supplement in hopes of stopping her eating poo and the plants in the back yard.

Evie. Started Glyoflex III tablets as the arthritis has been rearing its ugly head of late. After all the running today, she'll probably get a tramadol for pain at dinner. I just want her to have fun in her later years, as well as be comfortable & as pain free as possible.

Everyone [well, namely Flash & Gracie] are improving on their off leash skills. Today we went to the other side of the off-leash park nearby that has access to the river. It flooded a few months ago & the river changed a bit. There used to be a big sandy area to run - so maybe it will reappear this summer. Right now, I didn't want them too close as the current was wayyyyy to fast and cold!

It's good to hear they're all doing well! I love how they all have their own little quirks!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well. What a sneaky girl with the PB&J.

Surely Gracie takes the sandwiches for all the many vitamins found in jelly.

My tripod is not keen on doors either. I tell myself that a door represents change. On either side, he's okay, but it's going from one to the other that's bad. Hall corners are also scary. I've found that experience not dying on the other side has helped. I don't know if that's the case. Poor Flash.
