Thought I'd give you all a little update on how things are going here in wild animal land. My finger is healing nicely. Today was supposed to be my last day on the antibiotics, but I'm not 100% cleared up yet, so the dr. opted to extend the antibiotics. Great. Worth it in the long run though.
There have been no more stuffed animal issues (yay!) and replacement Violet arrived on schedule.
Things are starting to calm down between Lucy and the cats a little. We have placed a baby gate heading to the upper level of the house (where the bedrooms are) so the cats can still sleep with us and escape from Lucy. Gus is occasionally coming out of the basement, which is a huge step! Sadie doesn't seem overly traumatized and Cleo has decided she is just over being afraid. Of all the cats she is the one who is venturing into the same room as Lucy most often. She'll even stretch out a few feet away from the dog, almost like she's saying "This is MY house and there's nothing you can do about it!" And there isn't as long as we are nearby. Lucy generally watches Cleo intently but doesn't go after her often. There may actually be peace in my house one day.
The boys are still adoring Lucy pretty much every waking hour. This morning Wesley interrupted his snuggles with Lucy to ask, "Do dogs clean themselves like cats do, or are we going to have to put her in the bathtub someday?" Apparently we have neglected his dog education. I told him that we'd either wash her in the tub or take her someplace to be bathed and have her nails trimmed. But of course, he thinks washing her in the tub will be much more fun. We'll see about that in a few weeks.
