just thought I would give you an update on the boys. Nick is doing really good. I built him a step so he can get up on the bed and he uses the doggy door just fine. Austin is still afraid of the doggy door but he's getting a little better. He barks when he needs to go out and I have to hold the flap open for him but he should learn to use it soon. They both don't eat a lot of the dry food but scarf down the canned stuff so I'm going to try and find some softer food for them and see if that works. My cat thinks he needs some of their canned food when I feed them so he gets a bowl and they all eat at the same time. lol I'm going to take them to the vet next week and have them checked out. Austins breath is really bad and I'm thinking he might have to have some teeth pulled. They love going for walks and riding around in the truck and Nick really likes my son and hangs out with him while I'm at work. Well thats about all for now. I'll keep you updated.
