Dog Blog

You are probably saying to yourself, "The worst part about Dan's writing block absence was that there have been no updates on Gracie." And I can see why you would say that, because she is an amazing dog.

Good news on all fronts with Gracie. She is calm enough now that we can leave her alone in the house for a few hours without her howling up a storm. She is marginally less hyper when she sees squirrels and cats. (This morning we saw three squirrels and she only barked once with no howling fits, for which I am sure the neighbors are extremely grateful.)


She did have one incident with our nieces Ali and Livia. After a few hours the girls proved to be too much for Gracie and she let Livia know it by placing her mouth over Livia's head; no biting just a warning. Livy got scared, but was otherwise fine. And we ended up being grateful that whatever ends up happening with us and children, we will not be adopting two energetic little ones at once.
