I finished it yesterday morning and I'm like you I want to reread the series again so I can pick up all the stuff I missed and really tie it all in together. Plus it was so exciting I kept thinking now how will they put that on film, but I will say it was pretty fun to read and not have to think, "I'd better remember this, something will come up in the next one about this." I'm pondering who they didn't mention at the very end .. it's driving me crazy??!! (ok ok crazier) Gaye

Thank you THANK YOU ! I did notice Emmitt when he was "worked up" that his head was high and his ears were back, tail straight back (what little there is of it) and he was dead on staring at Sadie as he approached her (my husband said "I think he's stalking her.") .. the easy easy did it by the second day, he just kept at it especially when my back was turned. Sadie literally runs away when the commotion begins. We did get thru feeding time tonight with no probs but my husband had fixed them up while we were out walking and fed Sadie in the kitchen garage while my other two feed out on the back deck.
I love the suggestion to get them all out in the yard and try to get them to relax together. Tomorrow morning after a good walk while it's cool we'll practice that on the front deck.
I picked up Sadie this afternoon after her surgery and she did excellent and is listening to me about licking the wound so far. She's to remain calm and walk on a lead for the next 10 days (crossing fingers on the calm part). I'm keeping her on a lead except when I try to work off some energy chasing a KONG because of the cattle next door so that's not a problem.
I'm almost afraid to pet and talk to one right now afraid I'll get Emmitt worked up .. it's going too good.
I so appreciate you help !

Hello everyone, I've been reading posts on the Newfie forum for the past couple of days and have learned so much. A bit about our new Miss Sadie.
I adopted her last Thursday, she's a two yr old, this is her 3rd home (and her last), she's crate trained (to the extreme, which is why is thought she was being somewhat abused and I took her), took her straight to the vet and then to the groomers. My shoulder is about to collapse and I've only cried twice and have refrained from beating my head against the wall. (I'm kinda kidding) Sadie is one of the sweetest pups I've ever come across and this is my problem not hers you understand. I didn't realize how very spoiled my springer is and confrontations abound. And, my old cocker is scared to death of her, she goes from under the table to under the bed. Both dogs wait to go to the door to see if she's on a lead or not before going outside. Now all she wants to do is play but "patience" is the word of the month around this house. Now I'm stubborn, and I will see this thru and things are getting better believe me, but I'll be the first to ask for help. So any suggestions you can give me to help me merge sweet, rambunctious Sadie with old arthritic Copper and spoiled and stubborn Emmitt, not to mention the cattle in the pasture by the house, will be greatly appreciated. *laugh'n* the next obedience classes started yesterday, I hope I can get Sadie in, or perhaps I should get Emmitt in for doggy socialization?. Sadie is being spayed today laproscopicall y and I won't get her back until tomorrow.
PS .. OnryHenry the 17 yr old cat can still climb and dislodge himself from trees we found. The vet doesn't do shoulder x-rays on humans no matter how much you whine.
To finish .. all I can say is Ouch
