Hello everyone! It looks like we are going to hit the big 500 soon. Who would have believed it in March? It has been wonderful getting to know everyone on this thread.
Lisa K. - Thanks for the compliment about the deck...However (Lol), I cannot accept it, 'cause it was my friend's house.

But, I will tell her about the compliment. I believe they painted the deck. They do have a nice yard.
Emily Ann - Welcome to this thread, if I have not said this before. I live in Northern Kentucky so I can kind of help you with getting around the area. Florence does have a mall, but I do not know if there is a dog boutique in Florence. There is a dog store in Covington, but I have not been there. Is Sparta near Warsaw? Anyway, there are plenty of nicer chain restaurants in Florence. There is also an upscale mall in Crestview Hills. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Brandi - I had to laugh about your playdate. Sometimes that happens when dogs have different energy levels. I think the growls are the dog's way of disciplining the other dog. Hope the next one goes better. Also, have fun in the pool.
So....Piccolo got her bath last night because she is going to the Doggie Dermotologist tonight. I don't know if I ever talked about her problem on this thread. She has been under doctor's care since November because she had a delayed vaccine reaction. It caused her to have vasculitis and it was really scary back in the fall. I always read the vaccine threads carefully because of this. She is doing very well now.
This is so long...sorry. Hope everyone has a great day.
