It's going! We're fighting off an ear infection right now; back to the vet for follow-up Wednesday. She is just the best dog - well-behaved, affectionate, and gets on very well with both our other bubbers. LOTS of energy at this age.
She hates having her toenails trimmed and beats me up pretty good every time. I come away from it looking like I've wrestled a bear. She'll get used to it eventually. Charlie Beans used to be almost as bad, but just lies back and lets it happen now.
Bernie is mine months old and weighs 65.4 lbs [30kg]. She did much better tolerating having her nails cut a few days ago - promising. She and Charlie are best buds.
