As many of you know, we're totally raw fed here. Now granted, I will
occasionally, very occasionally mind you, slop some spaghetti sauce around
in their bowls mostly for a special treat.

To catch you up on the honorary Moon kid:

Boomer's been through half of two puppy classes, but I have to blame that on
my legs giving out more than his hooligan behavior, lol. We're training in
all sorts of buildings when we visit classes ect. He IS indeed reaching the
"I'm a BOY stage" !!@@!! Mostly I have no idea what to do as I've only had
the girls. We have however graduated to no getting in the kitchen trash, no
counter surfing.... and although he carries every sock he can find and shoes
as well, there's no eating of same. No chewing furniture or cushions, no
chewing plants.. no chewing on wires. Life is good today. Car riding is
polite and well mannered and yes indeed I CAN put 3 golden retrievers into a
1988 Mercury LS Cougar.....

....crate time is a must here and this week has seen Sophie the Evil
Princess decide that she'll let him live. This as you guys know is a huge
weight off of my mind. They will sleep on the bed together with Boyd and
will curl up under my chair side by side !!@@!! I do think we're over the
worst of this now as Sophie has discovered he's producing some testosterone
in his pee and she's fascinated with his, ahem.. how shall I say...
'equipment' (grinning) Sophie adores boy dogs.

Gina I can hear you howling with laughter from here, lol.
