WOW

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I have posted. It has been a busy one. Work and the move and some major personal issues have gotten in the way of my peaceful and happy little home.

The dogs have matured alot in the past month. They can now get on the furniture :( and are housebroke, finally. The move to the new house really screwed them up. At the last vet visit Abby weighed 36 pounds and Chelsea weighed 32 pounds. Their personalities have remained pretty constant. Abby is still hyper and jumps when she gets excited, kinda hurts when her nails need a trim. Chelsea is mellow, she just wants her bone and a good belly rub. Both dogs come to us when they need to go out and put a paw on our legs and sit there patiently. Looking at whomever like, "Hey, I am here and it is that time again."

The cats have pretty much adjusted to the fact that the pups are here to stay. We still have the occasional hiss and swat of the paw, but other than that there has been no major confrontations. The pups are pretty good and we have been able to leave them alone for a short period of time. We have been working on "Stay" and "Come" outside. Some days I am pretty surprised at what they have accomplished, when it has been a bad day I feel that I am dealing with 2, two year old children. The "ME" Stage is upon us.

The kids had started school 3 weeks ago and while it is going ok we have had some problems with the girls leaving the pups in the morning. As the pups cry for a few minutes. Then turn around and start playfighting with each other to get attention. They generally calm down about 2 hours later and take a nap.

The crap in my personal life is about to get more intense so I am not sure if I am going to be posting alot, but I will try. I have to download pics off my camera of the pups and I will post some later on.
