I am so happy Velvet is accepting her new large crate in  living Room. That is hugh!! Rocky flunked his crate training similar to Belle. Rocky is very good in wide open spaces and the best dog ever who listens to commands. ... Love the pic of Fauna and Uncle Ringo in crate. Ringo must be a good sharing GSP with others.

My apologies for still no pics. We got busy building a fence around the a/c unit - the things we do for these dogs. Found the mouse nest and got rid of it and put fencing around the unit. Yes, crate is working well. I can't let Windsor in with her for long because I think she could be going into heat. I kept talking about a peeing problem yet she doesn't go like she has a uti with the constant squatting. She mostly goes outside but has more accidents than normal inside. Windsor is sniffing her back end more and she's not fighting with him like she normally does when he does that. I notice her back end is a little swollen and she is starting to lick back there. She was at the vet not too long ago and we were told she was fine. She doesn't over drink her water anymore - like when it was hot out - she seems normal with that so that is why I am thinking she's having a heat? Vet said once she does this we can take her back and get her spayed. Now I'm just waiting for blood but don't see any yet. I could be wrong and maybe it's nothing. I haven't noticed any other changes except her being a little more cluddlier and really following us all over the house but no signs of pain or whining.
