"Hello! I've been waiting to write you until I took some pictures but they will have to follow. Kip continues to gain weight (whatever it is) and you can no longer feel ribs unless you press a little. The hip bones stick out ever so slightly so he is almost there. Here's a new one: Kip is learning how to play. We play tug of war and I'll tease him with a toy so he tries to "get it". That's what I wanted pictures of. He and Glory also steal each other's toys/bones but they're so very polite about it. Kip is still a somewhat picky eater, although better. I have to keep some variety in it. He won't eat for me in the morning, so I feed him when I get home and again at about 7:00 p.m. Yesterday I took a vacation day and we went for a very long walk through the park. Two totally different dogs. Kip keeps his nose to the path like he's tracking. Glory is all about squirrels, telling me where the squirrels are, leaping in the air about them. I can't let them both off leash if it's just me and I don't know if I can trust Kip yet. He isn't going potty in the house anymore. Jamie forgot to crate him a couple of days ago and I was worried but everything was fine. Here's my best story. Kip had been waking me up in the middle of the night and since I don't sleep that well (middle age woman) I get up and take him out. I finally figured out that he was running to the couch and looking at the TV, then me, then the TV. Duh. He was waking me up to watch TV. This is too funny, but lately, he runs downstairs and doesn't even wait for me to get ready. A couple of times when I get down there, the remote control is laying between his paws. I know that he understands some connection between the two. Silly boy. Anyway, he is such a love. Still a long way to go as he doesn't always trust that Steve won't hurt him. I don't know if he was abused because Glory was sensitive to men at one time, but got over it and she was never abused. I'm enjoying Simmy's story. Anything you write is a pleasure. Kip sends his love."
