Things are going well here with the "puppies." Everybody is just family now. I'm still having trouble getting the two of them to really play with each other outside. To Elsa outside means someone is going to throw balls and Frisbees for her and she doesn't pay much attention to Nemo. He gets in on the action by playing interference. Elsa concentrates so hard on the ball that she can run cross the yard with Nemo hanging on to her neck and still catch anything in the near vicinity. Then Nemo grabs the ball away after she catches it. They have a tendency to do most of the interaction with each other inside the house as they race frantically in circles (We have a house that allows circles!) chasing each other. As frenetic as it seems, they have yet to break anything - although Nemo has strip the sheets off of beds as he leaps upon them a slides off to the other side. I know, I'm not keeping a tight ship around here, but they are having a good time. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but Nemo has gotten bigger than Elsa - and he was supposed to be the smaller dog!! He's a big huggy bear, though, and I can count on him to stick close. Ya gotta love his sweet face! I'm so glad you convinced me to adopt another pup. Every now and then Elsa gets jealous, and has to make sure he remembers his place, but for the most part they enjoy each other's company. Elsa is the brains and he is the brawn........... Marsha
