Angie emailed updates about Bella, �You know I have been telling you what a good puppy Bella is well, today she was feeling real naughty. Ha ha.
She must be feeling better than ever with her tapeworm completely gone and her spay healing nicely.
1. She pulled her bed from her crate out and ripped foam in 1000 pieces when I went to brush my teeth.
2. Went to quickly check emails which is right off the den where she is gated and she got mail off the counter and ripped it in 1000 pieces All junk mail thank goodness.
3. Became way too interested in chasing the cat and plowed through the very tight fitting baby gate to get to him. Cat was a lot faster thank goodness.
Now for the good stuff. She must have been very hungry after our LONG afternoon walk and when I was getting the food ready she went and sat in her crate waiting for it. Very good girl.
She hasn't had an accident in the house for several days now and I have only had her 8 days.
Can't seem to wear her out with a little ball playing and walks the last couple of days. Oh, and she is supposed to be fairly quiet from her spay until Friday. Whew!
I am going to miss this smart little clown but I know she will be much happier with kids and maybe even a younger dog to play with.�

Deirdre also emailed updates about Peter. �Peter is doing great!! He is such a wonderful boy! I think his name should be Love Bug. The only time he gets upset is when you stop petting or rubbing him. We feel so lucky to have him and we would love to adopt him.
He's also been doing fine when we leave. I have been leaving him in the crate when we go out for a few hours. I think he might be okay in the house but I thought I would give it a little more time. At night, he has been sleeping in our room on his bed and he has been great.�
Tomorrow I am going to Walk N Wag in Montgomery. This event is sponsored by the Montgomery Humane Society. Last year I found out about the event, but I already bought tickets to go to California for a visit the weekend before I found out, so I couldn�t go. I asked around and nobody was willing/able to go, but one of the ESRA members in Montgomery said she went once before and it was a very good event (but she couldn�t do it last year because she works in the insurance industry and had to deal with all the hurricane claims this time last year). After Angie moved to Montgomery and we met at the vet school open house, I told her about Walk N Wag and she said she�s willing to organize it for ESRA. We are allowed to sell merchandise at the booth, but we have to pay $50 vendor fee, plus 10% of proceed if we make over $250. Angie was really nice and said she�s donating the $50 fee to ESRA. For this event, I didn�t have to plan much, just picked up some stuff from Carol in Atlanta when I transported Peter, and then brought along the usual event stuff I have. I also made a dozen of Springer cookies, and a dozen of carrot peanut butter muffins. I decided not to make the usual banana carob chip muffins, because I though the weather was going to be really hot and melt the carob chips like at Muttfest. Angie brought bottled drinks, muffins for breakfast (for the humans), dog cookies as free give-aways, price tags, paper towels, 2 large bottles of water, cooler with ice, and a water bowl for the dogs. Millie brought bagged and tagged sugared pecans and chocolate chip cookies that Judie made and bottles of water to sell. She also brought cooler with ice and Ringo, who was Judie�s foster dog at the time, and he was our booth�s mascot for the event. Judie wasn�t able to come to the event, so Millie picked him up from Birmingham the day before. Also Deborah near Mobile was going to come also, but one of her dogs got sick and they weren�t able to make it either.
