Hey Everybuddy, It's me Ernie. Great news! I can now be off leash and I an HAPPY. It's been a long time but I visited the vet and they took xrays - Knee looks GOOD! My assistant put together this video thing (she is still learning - so please be patient with her -thanks) . I met 2 new friends. Rita and Mickey. Rita is my girlfriend :-) She loves me and we like to kiss and snuggle when we meet. Her Mom says she is a floozie - whatever that is.. I don't think so. Mickey is the Border Collie mix - black and white, nice and loves people. Not so much some dogs BUT he and I do fine on our walks.
Bentley has been our house guest for a while. When we went to our cabin we saw a friend she "fell in love" with him AND his issues. And applied to adopt him. So, in a couple of weeks we are going to meet her and she will sign the papers and officially adopt him. Then he will go home with her. Somewhere in his little life things must not been too good. He growls, nips and stiffens when picked up. BUT he is LOTS better - hardly ever does it now. Now he actually wants to be touched and stroked and goes up on M and D's laps and is learning to like being petted. He hardly has any teeth after his dental so if he does nip - he only leaves a dent. Mom says it is really something to see where he is now compared to when we got him a month or so ago. What a change. He is playing with toys and is part of our pack. He is 6 years old and about 10 lbs.
Hope you all are having a good weekend and getting to go for walks and play with your humans
Ernie
