Still here :)

Things have been super busy and chaotic even since my last post. We sadly lost several pet bunnies and also had to have our Mari Lu (Lulu) put to sleep due to aggression. It progressed from food aggression to all out aggression and the final straw was when she attacked me. I have a scar on my inner thigh that will forever serve as a reminder of her attack. The emotional scars are worse, the be bitten and attacked by your own dog. Sigh. I can never take on a dog that has behavioral issues again. On a brighter note, every other critter continues to do well :) Gus the Great Dane fits in perfect and gets along well with the cats, other dogs, and even the horse. They actually play together, that silly horse. The bird plays with him too, when his cage door is closed. He is just over 7 months old and weighs more then the other 4 dogs put together. It's crazy, he's huge. Bigger already then my very first personal dane, Lady Bug Francis. Daisy is doing pretty well, a bit stiff, and goofy as ever. She'll be 18 in February. Max turned 12. He has 3 small tumors, non operable. I worry about him, but they don't seem to bother his and he's still puppyish. Molly is Molly, sweet and grouchy at the same time. Nikki is also good, enjoys Gus though she gives us the occasional "what did you do" look. My mom has Gus's brother, Marmaduke. He comes over at least once a month to play. Poor Nikki, those boys wear her out! Cats are all great, nothing every changes with them. They are indoors 75% of the time. I have trained them to use the doggy door and go potty outside. Except Mia, whom won't leave the house. I hate having a litter box, it messes with my asthma. Sam the parrot and Penny the horse are awesome as usual. The bunnies are all good, we have started showing and occasionally breeding again. I will post more about that in the next post. As for the humans, we are all good. Jason is working more, I am working less out of the home. I still continue to care for Gale in my house. She's doing quite well for someone in her condition. I also now watch a 2 year old. He lightens the mood for sure :) We will be adding another member to the family, a baby girl due in January. We are very excited and have waited a long time for this!
