Now you're making me blush. Actually, I'm also getting teary eyed. You have no idea what this means to me.

I do know dogs, I've had them all my life, currently have two, our little terror beagle Chewy, and our 4 month old border collie cross Rascal who is currently chewing on my shoe! Rascal, drop the shoe! That's my shoe! Oi! Puppies! ;) But my specialty is rabbits. I have 4 right now, and birds, grew up learning from my grandpa, he raised and bred cockatiels, budgies, and pigeons, even had a dove for a little while.

I really do appreciate you updating us. You're giving me a lot more credit than I deserve. I only gave advice, you followed it. This is your victory, not mine. :)

But I have to say, I was starting to wonder if anything I post was getting through, and you've renewed my conviction that what I do here is important, that I can make a difference by sharing what I know. So I thank you.
