Hi Ann what you have just described is what Noel is doing to Shadow.They
have been a lot frisker now that much cooler weather is upon us .Especially
in the morning after a good nights sleep they get going before I have even
had my coffee uhhh.I guess I will just take a chill pill and let them have
their fun.They are well behaved and will go lay down when they know they
have pushed Dear ol mom to the limit.Thanks Ann                       Peggy
