[Tink]

The girls are so content in their new place that they have quit barking. One of the neighbors had recently told us it was getting to be a bit much, so we were concerned. So now that they're happy and quiet it's a double blessing.

I had to laugh this morning. I had put contact paper on the floors of the houses just to make them easier to clean. It seems Montana didn't like the pattern I chose, so she painstakingly removed most of it in one of the houses. She came to greet me with a piece of it on her tail and another on her hip. We sat out there with them today and played fetch and cuddled for a while with them again, and it's just heartwarming to see the difference in both of them.

They've already learned by touching the electric wire NOT to touch the fence; the bones we gave them are almost untouched; and they're using the porch just as we'd planned. It's so cute to see them sprawled there sunning themselves. The biggest shock is that there has been NO digging. Montana had dug canyons and tunnels where she was chained. So I take this as her gift to us for doing this for her.

It's so sweet when things work out this well!
