<DIV>Hi everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have missed several Daily Drools due to a move and computer problems and
was wondering if the signup for the 2013 calendar has been
announced. I hope I haven't missed it already.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As to Rocky and Maddie, the place we were living had a very small fenced in
yard and they didn't really spend much time outside at
all. I just figured they liked it better inside. The
house we are renting now has a huge backyard with a great big oak tree for shade
and lots of grass and a patio and they are spending more and more time outside,
especially Maddie. Of course the squirrels climbing the oak tree and
jumping from branch to branch are driving her nuts and I think they do it on
purpose. They both pretty much stay in during the hottest time of
the day (it is in the high 90°s now and will be in the hundreds soon I think)
but when it is cooler in the morning and evening, they like to be
outside. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Rocky is losing weight a little at a time. He is quite
skinny now at 50 pounds but his appetite is good (and he is getting half again
as much food now to try to keep weight on) and he is a happy boy. Our vet
where we were previously found an acupuncturist for him nearby where we are now
so he is continuing his treatments every other week. I am convinced that
they are helping him tremendously. He will be 12 the last day of the
year so we think he's doing ok. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maddie is a happy girl but quite jealous of any attention Rocky
gets. She is getting a little too aggressive with him at times
and sometimes I wonder if she senses that he can't really fight back
anymore. But most of the time they are good friends.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any information about the 2013 calendars will be appreciated.</DIV>
