A recap of the last year? Wow.

It's been a while since my last update, but Marley has proven to have quite a personality. Since she is determined to destroy all electronics as punishment for leaving her to go to work, I have gotten her adjusted to being "crated". This is a touchy subject as most people are of the mind that a dog hates to be crated. I wont get into the details but consider this: Dogs are den animals when they aren't in packs hunting.

Marley has calmed down mostly, and she has gotten more or less to my driving (Bonine helps for that too). I used to socialize her with my buddy Ed's dogs, but since he moved to MI Marley hasn't been able to socialize as much this last winter. She now has this little routine she does when she walks by another dog. She approaches, her ears perk up, her hair raises, as soon as the other dog goes in for a sniff she tucks her tail, squeaks and runs like a C.H.U.D. were chasing her.
Now that it's summer, it gets the hose again (no lotion this time). She LOVES water! I will post a picture soon of her in the water, but it is probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while.
