Angie emailed about Bella, �Bella is home from her spay and came through it very well. They also did the 2nd treatment for tapeworm that was due. She is very sleepy and resting comfortably. I hope that I can keep her quiet enough when she starts to feel herself again.
My vet came through again with a total of 117 dollars which included the tapeworm shot, pre op bloodwork, pain meds and antibiotic.�

�Bella is doing great. She is getting her energy back a little after yesterday's spay. She is taking her medication very well. What a sweet girl. I do however think that having a puppy around is like having a toddler.�
I tested Peter with run of bedroom for five and half hours yesterday while I was at school and he was fine. He was asleep next to the open crate when I came home. However I left him in the crate this morning when I went to school because I recommended to Deirdre that he be crated while home alone the first few days, just until he's more used to his new home environment.
I decided to test Peter to see how he does when his food bowl, biscuit treats, chew treats, and toys are taken away from him. He usually eats fast with his food and then eyes Tara�s when she eats hers slowly. So usually I have to use body block to keep him away from her food. There have been a couple incidences between Keely and Peter getting near Tara�s food, and each time Tara didn�t seem to care, but just to be on the safe side, I try to keep Peter away from Tara�s food while she�s still eating. Anyways, today I decided to pick up Peter�s bowl while he�s eating, and he�s fine with that, no problem. He just looked at me for a second and went to take a drink of water instead. I then put some more food in his bowl so he would feel good about letting people take his bowl away later. I also gave him another one of the chew treats that Tara got from her obedience class. I didn�t give Tara one also because she skips her regular meals sometimes as is. Anyways, Peter liked the chew treat, and let me take it away with no problem (I kept telling him �good boy� at the same time), but when Tara went to sniff the chew treat as he was chewing it, he let out a low growl, and Tara walked away immediately. It was just that one growl, so I think he�s pretty good with that too.
