well we're all living in the new house and the dogs are tolerating each other very well!! and i cannot find too many things but a fenced back yard is great. the first night we were all together, alex slept on the bed (rare)next to me, keeping himself between me and duke; duke was stressed and whimpered off and on all night, but now it's snores instead of whimpers, and both doggies are sleeping in their own beds. this will be great! best wishes, joyce the human, alex and duke the dogs, columbus ohio
