Dog Update

Here's a photo taken of the two pups on a car ride. They really can be sweet and angelic sometimes! ;)

When we came home from Portland and picked up the pooches from the kennel, this is what they looked like. They had put the bandanas on them. They looked so cute and I think they actually liked wearing them because they didn't try to take them off for over two weeks!

Now, onto our severe seperation anxiety pooch. She can not stand being in the kennel for any length of time! She has destroyed two dog kennels now! The plastic one that we had to buy to fly them up here has now hit the bucket. She tore the inside of the door up with her teeth and peed all over the metal door so that it won't turn to open or close now. We were latching the door shut with part of the leash that was working for awhile. Then she figured out how to stick her paws in between the door and kennel itself which was tearing up her legs. Then, we came home the other night and she had broken out of the kennel period! She had somehow got her whole body in between the door and kennel. In the process of doing this, she tore up her face (see photo above). This actually looks a lot better than it did when it first happened. For the health and sanity of Freedom, we have decided to start leaving her loose in the house. She doesn't tear stuff up when you let her loose. Bracken will destroy stuff if left alone. Now, we've moved Bracken's kennel into the house and he stays in there while we're gone. Freedom is allowed to run loose. This seems to be working well as of now. Freedom is doing a lot better and she has done a lot better. I feel really bad about locking Bracken up, but he is destructive if left out. :(
