Thanks for all the good wishes. It looks like things are working out well so far. They are getting along well and Pepper was even playing a little this afternoon. I took a knuckle from one of Emma's rawhide bones (that's all that was left) and tied a string on it. I drug it across the floor in front of Pepper and he started chasing it and even sat and chewed on it for a few minutes later when I let him catch it! I have to share something that happened this morning! Emma had taken one of the toys I had bought for Pepper, proceeded to walk across the floor, stopped in front of Pepper and shook the toy. She was very playful and happy during this as if to tell Pepper "This is how you play with a toy! :dogtongue2:". Yes, I think things are going very well so far!:msnohyes:
