Both pups are doing fantastic. They've been loving the amazing fall weather we've been having. They play for a few hours in the morning outside, then come in for some nap time. Then repeat the process for the afternoon.

I had to drop out of Widget's Game Skills class. As you can tell by the infrequent updates here, my time is at a premium right now. Widget has been doing fantastic in her classes but I'm just out of hours in the day to participate. I'm not giving up on her!! We'll still try to work on things during the crazy holidays, but she won't be back in a formal class for a couple of months.

Browser's last vet check showed him CRYSTAL FREE! YAY! He's still on meds for a few more weeks just to be sure but I am thrilled. I am quite sure our water has been the culprit - for everything from his crystals to his tummy problems he had as a baby. I distill their water (bought two counter-top distilling machines) then run it through Brita filters to improve the taste and increase his water intake. It's a ton of work. Distilling takes about 6 hours for one gallon and with two active puppies, you can imagine how much water we go through (which is why I bought the machines instead of having to lug jugs of water home from the store every few days).

I've been taking pictures of the pups still - just haven't been uploading them like I should. I'll try to get some more posted this week.
