frosty is doing great too. all house broke now, even if i leave. the separation thing is going pretty good. she still is getting way too excited to see me even if i am only gone for 5 min. she will howl and jump and dance. LOL i turn my back to her until she settles. seems to be working.plus she has a great teacher, my cocker is made of gold. she even runs to the back door when she is sick to her stomach. it seems as if things are starting to fall together. knock on wood. LOL tom is finally getting a little stronger. my son seems a little sweeter except for pain , all in all, no complaints. (today). haha
