She is settling in nicely. Shorty is still a bit unsure about her and avoids going near her, but I think it will get better.

She did her business in the lving room right after we came back in today. I will just make sure she stays out in the morning until it is done. I thought she usually only went in the afternoon.

She is a sweetie and we'll all get to know her and her habits. She is relaxed and sleeping well and enjoying playing with the boys.

Update #2 from March 2004

Hi there

I thought you might like an update on Bailey. She is settled very nicely. Any training issues were taken care of immediately- she is very smart. Shorty and Bailey now get along famously and he will actually sit right by her waiting to go out. The boys have spoiled Bailey beyond belief and she seems very happy. She sure is nuts about the ball! Her arthritis is very under control. She is taking a medication the vet gave her, and she is sleeping indoors so it makes a difference. We are so glad that we have her with us!

Tammy, Mike and the Boys.
