Friends!

Toni and Calvin are FINALLY at the point that they are buddies. Don't get me wrong, Toni still like to be the "boss lady" and bullies him to get her way (which may I add has resulted in much better behavior for Calvin). But at least once a day, usually in the evenings, they will play for a bit. Toni has also become more willing to share furniture with Calvin and I frequently see them cuddling in bed or they will both be up on the couch with me. When we take Toni to the dog park she will often "check in with" Calvin as she explores the park.

That is right, Toni now goes to the dog park! We try to bring her and Calvin late in the day when there are not many dogs there. She and Calvin do well alone in the small dog area chasing balls and greeting dogs between the fence. When we let her out into the big park, she doesn't bother much with the other dogs. She still does not like it when other dogs sniff her bottom, but she sure does like to sniff the bottoms of other dogs! She also likes to sniff their ears and their eyes and will really give a new dog a thorough once-over when she meets him!

Miss Toni is such a wonderful girl who is full of so many surprises!
