Note on finding a new home for Bowser - a fenced yard would be good! Just in case ...

Gracie, beloved Great Dane mix of my growing up years, made us all very careful about grabbing a collar BEFORE we open a door. She had that slick-as-glass coat, and if you missed catching her collar as she "made a break for it," trying to grab any other part of her was futile - she'd just slip right through your grip! She was funny, though. She'd take off, but pause at the point from the nieghbor's yard where we could see her from the back door. She'd wait to hear "Gracie! Get back here!" then off she'd go, into the woods.

Did Cinder get and extra biscuit for at least herding Bowser?
