We are getting ready to go on vacation and Sophie is going along. We are going to my dad's and he is very excited to meet her. He isn't doing well and I think she will lift him up a little. We are stil fighting the flea problem. We have been using a flea comb on her twice a day and it has helped. She hates it! If I see her scratch I will get it just in case and she will run for her life when she sees it come out. I leave it on the coffee table in a baggie though, so that she can see it and she has started to get used to it a little I think. I have to be very careful though, she has dry sensitive skin and the comb itself can irritate her.

Poor Roody is still trudging along. His tummy is more extended and he is coughing more. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, is still eating and even chased Sophie around the house, PLAYING, last week. I cried! He hasn't played like that in 8 months. She didn't know what to do. I laughed at them until I cried. She has always been the "come on, come on, what's the matter with you? Get up and play old man, come on" one and he would just look at her as if to say "GET AWAY FROM ME!" until she would carry it too far and then he would snap at her. She thinks it's funny when he does and it just gets her going more.
