It has now been a week and three days and I can't believe the progress Molly and Dolly have made. First, they are both using the doggie run to do their business. Second, Dolly is now going in and out the doggie door on her own! Both of them are less "stiff" when I pick them up and they come to the gate in the kitchen every morning to get pets when I get up. So far I'm not letting them have the run of the house, want to keep them in a small area with the access to the run in order to imprint the toilet training, but I'm really encouraged.

They are now both sleeping in the breakfast nook on their pillows, sometimes together. They are starting to understand what "go out" means and what "sshhh" means. Molly is still very serious and almost never wags her tail, but both she and Dolly bow and sneeze, which I think means they are happy. Dolly is not wagging her tail so frantically and is leaning into my pets. If I pet one the other comes up for pets.

All in all things are going well.

I am very encouraged by their progress.
