<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It's hard to believe that the girls have been here
a week already. The time has just flown by, one day just blends right into
the next. I don't remember being this tired when I worked 6 days a
week....LOL But it's a good tired. All the girls want is
some good food, a soft place to lay their head, and some love.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sophie is now the one that sounds the alarm first
when my neighbors dare to walk out into their yard. Since she's in the
kitchen she has the prime viewing area. But she will stop as soon as I
tell her it's okay. Maybe she can teach that to Holly while she is
here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Nancy is still staying in her crate during the day,
but I think she is sleeping on one of the throw rugs in the kitchen during the
night. Nancy's favorite thing is to lick peanut butter off my
finger. I'm still using a peanut butter trail on my floor to get her to go
outside. Normally she will not go outside unless I leave the door open and
go into another part of the house, but she did go out this morning while I was
in the kitchen fixing breakfast for them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sophie has figured out how to open the gate and
wanders in to say hello to me every once in awhile. I don't have it locked
except when I go to bed at night. Holly tried to get her to play this
morning when she was in here, but I think Sophie is like Gina was, has no idea
how to play :(</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I haven't managed to get a picture of Nancy
yet. She is afraid of anything that I have in my hand, other than the jar
of peanut butter. Sophie spends about 90% of her time on the 4 bed pillows
that I put in the kitchen for them. I managed to get my camera and get 1
picture before she moved. It amazed me that she could stretch her little
self out enough to use 3 of the 4 pillows. She is tiny for a Basset Hound,
about half the size of Holly. Here is the link</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>(Thanks Kathy) to Sophie's
photo.........</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sophie has put on a few pounds since that photo was
taken. I'm thinking that I may have to cut back on the oatmeal that I've
been putting on top of her kibble. I don't want to turn her into a chunker
:) If you have a Hound that needs to put weight on just send them to
me, seems like I do a good with that...LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All the girls got their meds yesterday and
technically should no longer be contagious. Holly got a dose just as a
preventative, although I was never really concerned about her. She's young
and in very good health. I've been cautious and my body is water logged
from so many showers, and I've been taking plenty of vitamin C this
week.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sophie is going to be just the perfect addition to
someone's home. She little and just sooooooo happy for any
attention. She wags her tail as soon as she sees me, even if I was just in
the kitchen a few minutes ago. Both girls are 100% housetrained.
Sophie will wake me at night if either she or Nancy has to go out. She
will just stand at the gate and cry until she wakes Holly who comes over and
nudges me, it's like a relay....LOL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My goal this week is to try and get some photos of
Nancy, without upsetting her. Dawn would like to get Nancy &
Sophie up on the Daphneyland website. Dawn would love for someone to
adopt Sophie so that she would go to her forever home right from here. If
anyone in Dawn's area is interested please email me with any questions.
Dawn is actually away until the 12th, her annual 1 week away from the
ranch.....a much needed rest :)</FONT></DIV>
