Hi Nicole,

We've been around, though less so this week due to this wicked flu I've been dealing with, have spent an aweful lot of time in bed! The hounds are still doing great buck Docker still has this very irritating habit of stealing things, taking them out the doggy door and piling them in the backyard. It started with doggy-toy stuffed animals, progressed to couch pillow and the pillows off my bed, onto shoes/boots and hats, and lately it's been anything he can reach, including dirty cutlery out of the sink!! Not sure how to break him of that habit!! Otherwise, everything is doing great, thanks.

We'll be more active again in a couple days when this damn flu goes away!!
