Thursday

First off, Angus came through his operation with flying colors and he's back to his old self. I was a bit nervous about putting a 13 1/2 year old dog under anesthesia but it had to be done and the vet said he was a tough old dog and wasn't worried. Angus may need to start wearing doggie diapers before long though since he's having a harder time getting around and has had a few accidents.

Viv is starting to get pretty serious about this walking business. When we sit with her in the corral she basically just runs back and forth between us, the corral wall, the big box of blocks, etc. She'll pretty much head for anything she can trot to within 5 feet or so and hang on until she launches for her next spot. She's also sleeping through the night now in her own crib. It took us about a week of her gradually getting a little less fussy every night until she just accepted it and now sleeps from 8:30-9:00 at night until 5:30 or so the next morning. She still gets pretty grumpy when she first gets put in the crib but that's lasting for shorter and shorter periods of time.

We'll try to get some good video of walking up before long. Maybe this weekend when we have a little more time.
