pet update

I suppose a pet update is long overdue. In short, we're surviving. I'm surviving, I should say.

Henry is doing well. CJ takes him for a quick jog or walk in the morning if he has time, and then we take him for a long walk each night. He's made friends with this big German Shepherd, Luca. So far, knock on wood, he's really good with kids. And we got him some softer toys, which he seems to really enjoy -- especially this long, ugly, green dog and a cow. He loves that cow, but he's almost torn it apart already, as it's a crate-only toy and keeps him entertained while we're away.

Bridget is doing much better too. She still hangs out in our bedroom, although she will tolerate him being in the bedroom too (he's not actually supposed to be in there though). To us though, she's nearly returned to normal. It's progress, at least.

Now that the dog is worn out for the night, I'm going to close down here and get some reading done. (At least we got a dog that likes to sleep at night ... unlike some other cat we know.)
