I took both girls on a four-mile run with my border collie Brio and our trusty family mutt, Blacks. I kept them on leashes since they have yet to come when called and practiced recalls periodically on the run. They are much happier today! Both dogs stretched out for belly rubs from our young daughters after the run. They are mildy tolerant of Brio and ignore Black Dog. They seem to be very closely bonded with each other and have no interest in adding other canines to their pack of two.
I brushed and cut matts out of both girls' coats. They had been kept in a garage at night and have very thick fur. Since they are now staying in our bedroom at night (away from the too hot wood stove!), I had to give them a bath ASAP. They were very dirty, so it took me three lathers to get them really clean. Both stood patiently in the tub without incident.
