Happy New Year

We made it through another year.  It was a rough year.  There were times when I could only afford to buy food for my little friends.  I ate a lot of oatmeal.  But my babies had their food and vet visits.  We are through that now, and hopefully on the road to recovery.  I would never let my little ones go hungry.   On a more positive note, they are all doing great.  Duncan improves and comes out of his shell more every day.  He charges around the yard with the others now and barks like crazy.  Sometimes he will come in with the others without any encouragement, but most of the time when it is time to come in, I have to carry him in.  He just stops at the door and cowers.  But he doesn't cower nearly as much now as he did when he came to me.  He really is sweet and it has been a delight to see how far he has come in only 4 months.  Animals are so wonderful and each one has his or her own distinct personality.  And all will react to kindness.
