Ah..That was really nice of your family to take her in, that's for sure.

And you have experience with that one.

Heh.. like our pups and toby.. never a problem.. they just are plain happy
together. :)

Very cool :)

Heh.. no worse than toby who just once in while decided he had to mark
something to show Indy he's the boss   but we keep on top of that so
really it's not a problem.  Toby isn't neutered (bad reaction to vac's when he
was a pup so no one wants to do it), and he knows Indy is neutered..so that
helps now.

That is so nice.. really good.

Our Priscilla was such a sweetie.. I bet Mabel Anne is just as sweet.

Take care,
Janis
