The girls are doing fine together today. I can even walk them with their leashes in one hand. We also met Kia and Suzie this morning. Suzie recognized Tara (because she�s shaved) but was a little confused as to which dog the other one is. When I told her Keely, she was very happy and petted her. Tara got between them and wanted petting too, but Suzie told her, �I know Keely first, so I�ll pet her first.� Kia and Tara and Keely got along fine also. Suzie said she went to visit her former foster dog and she is doing very well and bonding with her new family. She said she and Kia went to Kiesel Park on Saturday morning like always, but there were lot of dogs there. She didn�t have Kia on leash (Kia�s pretty good about staying near Suzie), and a woman with two leashed Great Danes approached them. Then suddenly the Great Danes attacked Kia, but the dogs� owner was able to hold them at the same place, while Suzie called to Kia to come, and that ended the fight. Luckily nobody got hurt.
This morning as I was getting ready to leave and was cleaning the bathtub after a shower, suddenly Tara and Keely were fighting again. I don�t know who started it, but my guess is that Keely was sitting right outside of the bathroom watching me, and Tara was pacing around, and Keely got annoyed and growled, and Tara fought with her because of that. This time Keely had both of her front paws up just like Tara. Anyways, I was able to separate them with no problem, and took Tara directly to the crate for timeout. If I had two crates, I would probably put Keely in the crate also for timeout.
Mary emailed and said she�ll be home Thursday after 4 PM, so I can drop off Peter then. And also I asked her if she could keep Peter until Sunday morning, and she said that�s fine too. Liana said there�s another foster-to-adopt family who�s interested in Peter, but the family has two kids, ages 4-6, so she asked us how Peter does with kids. Here�s Mary�s reply, �He met a few children while at Woofstock, and seems to do perfectly fine with them. He let them pet him, etc. One little girl was probably about 3-4 and he took no special notice in her.�
Tonight right before obedience class started, Tara growled at the large male yellow Lab in the store. But then two other dogs in class growled at him when he approached them too. So I guess it�s not just Tara. But we did the weave with the owner and the dogs serve as the poles. Tara was very good and Rebekah said so too and said that Tara was pretty good with the other dogs while we did the weave.

I called yesterday afternoon and spoke to Dr. Colley. He said Peter is doing very well. I asked if I could pick him up today at 4 PM, he said that's fine.
Dr. Colley called around noon and said Peter�s doing fine, and that he�ll be ready to go home on Thursday after 11 AM, they want to give him a bath before he leaves.
Here is Peter looking at the kittens for adoption at the vet clinic.
