A Tough Move

We have just moved in to a beautiful new home. 

We LOVE it!

The move has been a good one for us.  Great location, great place to raise our kids, and not a huge change in commute times (about 5 minutes for both of us)

However...

Our dogs have not liked the transition.

In fact...I am sure they hate it.

They went from about a 1/2 acre fenced in back yard to play in, to a dog kennel in the garage.

They are frustrated.

Probably stressed.

And at the moment there's no other option.

I do feel bad for them.

Here's a little insight on their lives in the last two weeks...

• Stuck in a dog kennel in a dark garage.
• Fight each other for food...we now feed them completely separate.
• Go for walks around a new neighborhood with new animals, trees, and mailboxes to sniff. 
• Break out of the dog pen.
• Dog pen gets reinforced...
• Fight each other because they are having a major case of cabin fever...Breck probably stepped on KC's side of the pen...
• Breck goes to vet due to cut in the ear from previous fight.
• Breck goes in to heat at the vet.
• Breck fights the vet and won't let them touch her... Poor girl, rough week for her.
• Get new cage for Breck to keep girls separate.
• Breck barks the entire time because she doesn't like being away from KC. 
• Buy rawhide bones and tennis balls to keep them occupied. 
• Doesn't work...
• When they get near each other KC wants to hump Breck, Breck is in NO mood for that and fights back. 

I need spring to come FAST so we can have a chance to build our outside dog pen for them to be in.  Nice and spacious, with grass, and plenty of room for them to be together when they want and apart when they want.
