Aw well, let's just keep getting the names on here, and see if we can get his mind changed with the strength of the numbers!

Teri & Michele, if either of you wish to share Mike's comments on the petition, I am sure we would all like to hear!

From Mike:

Thanks for forwarding this, Michele. I hate all of you, btw. I'm trying to get some chores done around the house, and what comes in the e-mail: Friendship! How dare you!


As you know by now, I'm kidding. But I'm still gonna stick by my guns and stay away for a while. But I am touched and miss every single one of you on this list terribly.


I'd be happy to send you updates of Eddie and Jack's exploits if you'd like to pass them on. And once a week sounds reasonable. And I don't mind if you share my e-mail address. I'd prefer if people didn't put me on their "joke" list for mass mailings, but I don't mind hearing from people individually at all.


Anyhow, the boys are doing GREAT. Jack's hair is really coming in. I don' t know if it's because of the Missing Link I've been giving him or not, but I love that it's long and getting thicker. His leg is awesome. He races up and down the stairs at work. He sprints down the hallways. His recovery is complete.


Eddie is still a bully, but they've gotten better. The fights are typically shorter and less severe. I've read tons of stuff online and have developed a plan to deal with it, but progress is never as fast as I'd like. He's gonna start an obedience class called "Jumpers" this month, which is a prep for Agility training. I can't wait.


I've finally decided to start feeding them twice a day on a regular schedule, and neither one of them is happy about it. They typically ignore their food or pick at it. But I put it away after 15 minutes. The funny part is, Eddie has gotten even more ravenous over his Yummy Chummies. I went through all his obedience tricks last night, and he was in super-fast-speed on all of them. He literally ran around me in the "Around" skill. He wanted the treats so bad. The good news is, today, for the first time, he ate his entire morning feeding in one sitting. I think it's gonna work.


Here are a few pics from today. As you can see, our snow is FINALLY melting. (Not fast enough for Jack, as you can tell!)


Bye all. I love you guys.
