For some reason I was thinking of a bigger dog, so I busted up laughing when I saw her pictures!! We only children (she is an only doggie, right?) can be pretty demanding!!! Maybe some doggie downers would help!! We had to give Grasshopper Kitty Kalmers when she was boarded one time (the condo was being tented for termites). She wasn't too thrilled, I can tell you!! The things we do for friends we love!! Hang in there, Aly!
