Tami,
I just ran up to the hardware store and dropped her off at our daughter's, Deb the vet. When I stopped back to pick her up there were four kids, a golden, a cat and Deb playing in the back yard. Gertie was having a ball. She had never seen so many people and such a BIG dog. They have a nice big fenced yard with a bunch of trees and other stuff. Gertie was in doggie heaven. She ran and ran and sniffed and panted and then laid down from exhaustion.....but she couldn't stop....you know how that goes.....and off she went again, running and chasing. She will sleep well tonight.
Here, it's very quiet, as you can imagine. She is limited to the tiled areas in the kitchen and utility room with a long rope. We have her on a fairly strict schedule and take her out on a leash at regular intervals. Just returned from getting her a plush doggie bed and a baby gate which will keep her out of the carpeted area in the dining room. So far she is a little darling and she has captured our hearts. She's a keeper.

Tami,
Thanks for remembering Gertie`s birthday. She has been the best thing to happen to us. She is such an affectionate dog. Thanks to your part. Hope things are going well with Bert.
