One year later...

We've now had Glacier for one year. (We've had Brody for five years but he's been breeze since day one.) Despite her bumpy start in our home, she's become just as much a part of our lives as Brody! The two of them make us laugh daily - what more can we ask for?

She no longer requires going to doggie day care. Phew! We were glad when that ended because at $25/day, it adds up quickly and made one of my jobs not really worth going to. The solution was a dog door. 

She uses it about 1.2 million times a day and absolutely loves the freedom it affords! She and Brody still have traffic jams when the call of the wild (aka squirrels) is sounded but they haven't managed to damage it more than bending the aluminum track a bit. Winter will be interesting with this new feature.....

Glacier has grown out of chewing on things... for the most part. Occasionally there is a temptation greater than she can deny and she must must must chew. Luckily it's usually paper and usually nothing valued. Although... 

recently I came home and found one of A's books on the patio... chewed up. To be fair, he'd left the book on the floor in front of "her spot" by the door so it was really kind of fair game. Luckily it wasn't an heirloom and he was able to salvage the book minus a corner of the hard cover and the dust jacket. 

But, a year into it, now that we have figured out her personality (still people shy), we adore her and so does Brody.
