Man, these girls just want a family to love on! Everyone does just fine laying around the house together, in fact, if the girls were in a home together right now (no other dogs) I would feel comfortable leaving them out when I left (and they'd probably be okay with other dogs after they'd adjusted-although Mindy is like our Gracie in that she's not keen on any pups jumping on her and she'll let them know it). Neither has shown any inclination to chew on anything or even counter surf. They just want to be a part of the family. Which brings me to last night, Mindy was having none of her crate for bedtime. She started howling and yipping as soon as everyone was down and so I ended up sleeping in the living room with the girls in their crates. This was okay (she stopped yipping-I felt like crap this morning) and Maya was a perfect angel all night, but I know Mindy was moving alot more in her crate than when she's just laying in the living room. I'd feel comfy taking all 5 dogs back to the bedroom with us and leaving everyone out all night if it wasn't for Mindy's snotty nose! I read that pneumonia can take several weeks to completely clear up but no one wants snot rockets in anything other than a Kleenex:)
This morning everyone was kind of hurried around since I had to run to Bloomington for a few appointments shortly after breakfast. Both girls were irritated at having to go back in their crates so soon (I mean, I understand) and Maya flat out refused at first and when I would try to lead her in there, she layed down on the floor in a cower. Both girls need some patience but they can both be pretty stubborn:) Besides this, the girls ate like champs this morning and again this afternoon. beef hearts and chicken necks this morning, beef hearts, an egg, and earthborn kibble this afternoon.
