It is a wonder that our children survived to adulthood!

Mercy, who was a member of the family until her passing in November of 2012, was dearly loved, but as the fourth "child", learned to take turns rather well. I am trying to socialize Gracie so that she will be as pleasant and easygoing, and so far she is doing well. She has been very accepting of our grandson and other children who visit. She takes trips in the bye-bye bag, and has managed to handle visits by our children's dogs quite well--she lets them know that they are in her house!

Again, many thanks for your accumulated wisdom and expertise.

Welcome & congrats on the new addition! Looking forward to pics!
