The girls

Harley raised Mugsy. Harley's birthday is tomorrow the 28th and she'll be four. We've really been having a hard time with both the girls since they had litters of puppies at the same time. Somehow they just didn't want to share the babies and started to fight. For whatever reason it's been impossible to have them in the same room with each other since that happened. Today Craig and I took the girls on a walk together and we were so thrilled they didn't fight. They looked at each other for one of the first times since this whole thing started and didn't snarl or lunge at each other. It's been so hard to handle. Our happy family has been torn apart by this fighting. We've called for help from experts who have given us things to do to help out and we've done all they said but today was the first time they responded. We gave them treats and praised them a lot. I don't know how long it will take to get things back to the way they were but I won't ever give up. Last year when we had to sell Tazzie because she was fighting with Harley too after her puppies were born, it just about killed me. I still miss Tazzie. I always will. I had to do the right thing for her and make sure she was safe. I won't give up Harley or Mugsy. I can't do again. You just love these dogs and they are your fuzzy kids. I can't give up another part of my heart. This just has to work out.
