Lilly is doing super. Her digestive problems turned out to be a treatable bowel disease. For her dogfood meals she has to eat special food that contains no fiber. For her people snacks she can still have some of whatever we're shoving into our faces at the time, as God forbid it be anything that would give our bowels a scrub. One thing though, her vet doesn't want her to have the freeze-dried liver I use as a reward when we're out on walks. I'm trying to figure out what kind of alternate highly-delectable treat would be suitable as a reward for not threatening to devour a kid in a stroller.
Her behavioralist couldn't make it last Friday, so we still haven't tried out the head collar yet. (OK, Amy?) We've been entering and exiting the neighborhood through some intensely heavy vegetation across the street from my house, and have greatly minimized our chances of encountering huffy neighbors acting out of sorts because of Lilly wanting to remove their feeding tubes with her teeth.
Even though the qualilty of this pic is poor, I've included it because it captured on film Shiloh and Lilly actually being buddies. Things are looking up.
Can't we all just get along?

Dawgs are naturally pack critters- usually the dominance thing is worked out they get along; are they both female? That usually causes some ruction.
Posted by: PB at March 30, 2005 01:53 AMYeah, both females. Lilly is the dominant one, and we've gone with it so there'll be no doubt, and therefore, less squabbling.

I dunno why I didn't see this before...I surely would've responded to that! ;-)
