Hi!

I am just thrilled to hear the news about Nell!

I am sorry I couldn't have posted earlier - had been too busy really. It is now getting better and I can get back to old friends.

The best news, of course is that Betty has accepted Pretty Nell and they are becoming inseparable! These are the dogs of the 'intelligent' pedigrees, so they should find common grounds.

The pics are fantastic! Nell looks so fresh and perplexed and Betty looks like the true Lady of the House!

Be honest - do they ever (rather Betty) have anything rude to say to each other?

Well isn't Nell purty! Congrats on your new pup.

Actually, no, lol. Betty snipped at her once on the first day, but since then, no problems. They can sure play hard too. And Betty's pretty much taught her everything as well. Such as meal time, you first eat out of Betty's dish, and when it's gone, you then eat out of Nell's dish, lol. Same with the water bowls. Betty shares everything. Then there's times where Betty is working on her bone, and Nell will come up to her from behind, slowly lower her head down to find the best position over Bettys head to get the bone from Betty, then take it and runs to the other room. Then Betty goes and just takes it back and brings it back to the front room, lol. No growling or anything. It's funny how they interact.

Today was a big day for Nell. She went to the vet to get her checkup. She also got her booster shot and rabies shot. And finally, she got her microchip. Then after her visit with the vet, we went to the Humane Society to get her Dog License. I put it off until I had her shots done, as when I got Betty, they asked for her shots and if she was chipped. So I got it all taken care of today, and she's done til next year. Also, the vet said that the shots today were only good for 1 year, and that her next set of shots next year will be good for 2 and 3 years, or something like that. ;)

Well, at Nell's vet visit, she was a whole whopping 41lbs, lol. And Betty was 36lbs when I had hers done about 7 months ago. I still don't have a 100lb total, LOL.

Here's a few more pics..... These were taken at a friends house...

Today we sent in the paperwork so Betty can get her ILP number with the AKC. Since she's a rescue and didn't have any papers, all I can do is get the ILP, which will allow her to compete in Obedience, Rally, Agility, Herding, etc. with the AKC. The ILP is a limited registration.

As for Nell, we sent in her paperwork to get her full AKC Registration. If all goes through, which I'm sure it will, she will have dual registrations, AKC and ABCA.

Other than the credit card clearing, I haven't heard anything yet on Betty's ILP registration. But today I got an email confirmation on Nell's AKC Open Registration. She's been accepted, and is now registered with the AKC, as well as the ABCA. It also said I'll be getting her papers in the mail in a couple days. Can't wait... ;)
