The pups have to stay in a kennel until we get housing. They look forward to seeing us. They were no worse for the ware but glad to be out of the crate. They traveled in crates for over 24 hours. Clancy was a little mad at me at first, but he's getting over it. And we are happy to report that Clara has gotten over her stage fright of pottying on a leash! Whew! What a relief!
