Hey, folks:
Just thought I'd let you know that things are going great here. TD and Carla spend much of their time wrestling, after which they nap next to each other. Carla is much bigger than TD (size of a small rottie), and he has bravely stuck most of his head in her mouth while they're playing. My old boys are looking at them like they're crazy!
TD & CARLA HOLDING HANDS
TD pooped in the living room the first night and peed in the computer room yesterday. However, he has 3 pack members exerting "pee-er pressure" on him, and I think this will pass quickly.
I may have to keep both of them. I just want to sleep on it for a few days because it is a 16 or so year commitment. But even Steve says he thinks its completely rational - they're great dogs & they adore each other. (Also, my old boys and June seem to approve.)
I'm including a picture of the kind of thing I see a lot when I'm working at my computer.
Thanks, everyone!
Ellen
