The dogs of Bedlam Farm are evolving, as always. The Border Poodles are growing some hair, and liking the cool experience of having no coats. Frieda (aka Helldog, Maria’s dog) seems to have joined the pack. She has bonded with Lenore, of course, and seems to want to play with Izzy. She and Rose still stare at each other sometimes, but they are getting used to one another. Frieda’s sweet side continues to emerge, even as her nightmare qualities pop up every now and then. We are getting there, and I love this mix of dogs. Challenging, rewarding.
