2 DOGS & A CAT WALK INTO A BAR...

People have been asking about our Animal Kingdom so here's the skinny:

CARMINE - Doing well, caught onto using the "peepads" quickly and accidents have been minor. He's learning "sit" and "stay" but name recognition is taking longer than hoped but it will come. He's eating well and also trying to eat all of Laverne's food at the same time. One area to focus on is "environmental socialization" as he gets quite skittish outside or in his crate in the car. Overall, he's great!


LAVERNE - The mysterious sickness has passed and she is her normal self again, WOO HOO! Enjoys having a little brother to play with but sometimes gets into that "frenetic zone" and can play a bit rough with Carmine. At first, Laverne wanted no part of Carmine but it seems that the more they hang out together, the better they become with each other! Big Win!


PINCHY - The Pincheriffic Pinch! The seasoned vet of our trio, Pinchy is actually getting a kick out of Carmine as Carmine is not afraid of the cat. They chase each other around, Pinchy swats at him but Carmine keeps coming back for more. Laverne is now getting in on the action as well. As a bonus, Pinchy spends more time downstairs with us rather than always upstairs on the third floor.

That's funny, because I sometimes take a swat at Kim, and she keeps coming back for more, too.

How's Michelle doing with her name recognition?
