In the midst of all this, I didn't get to share my good news about Lolly. I've had her for over 10 months now, and last night she showed her first bit of confidence ever. I went outside with her when the sprinklers were on and she charged at them, biting the spouts and running through the water. She was having SO much fun. I've never ever seen anything like this out of her. She's usually growling or grumbling about something or other. She gets happy and active when we go to the park or play with her toys, but she's never done anything like attack sprinklers. I am so happy for her. I have high hopes that she can become a "normal" dog even after her abusive past. I am signing her up for agility within the next few weeks.

I really hope her happiness wasn't because last night Tobi happened to be spending the night with a friend of mine. (I had obedience last night and didn't want to leave him alone for so long so my friend took him home for the night).
