Hi Sue,
We've had a very busy day! Bethany slept well, she woke up twice but a quick outside time took care of that part. She went to her vet and they adore her! The vet said she's in top shape and now weighs 6 lbs! No problems with her eating or drinking water. She even sampled her big sister's food.
We then made our way to the Nursing Center and needless to say everyone from Administration to the Residents are in love with her. They can't get over her face! The woman that wanted to see her was able to hold and love her before she went home! So that was a special time. Everyone can't wait until she gets her Therapy Dog Registration too!
Bella hasn't warmed up to the idea of a "baby" sister. Bethany chases her, wants to cuddle and is in total love with her big sister but she doesn't understand Bella's "issues." This will take a few days but when they're both involved with their training that should help. Bella will sniff the air and will sniff Bethany when she's in her crate but that's about it. I'm spending special quality time with Bella and she has a new toy to play with, hopefully we'll get past this rough part of the road and soon harmony and peace will abound.
Bella gave me the "look" as if to say, "Mom, have you lost your mind? What is this thing that never winds down? It keeps going and going and going!" The other part is, "You gave up peace and quiet to get something that BRAYS?" Yes, Bethany can bray, just like the neighbors mule! Too Funny!
I'll get some photos of Bethany to you in a couple of days. I'm hoping by that time I'll have at least one photo of both of the girls together, in harmony. Say some special prayers for us.
Buffalo is a beautiful place, especially around the lake. Wish we had more time to see the area, especially toward your part of the country. I'll have to start planning a nice vacation, save up, find a bed and breakfast (that allows pets) and see the vineyards and all the sights.


Better go for now! All my love!

Hugs,

Cherrie', Bella (I don't know about sisters yet! Mamma Sue, maybe if Mom isn't looking I'll send her back?) and Bethany
