PenniF, the bell ringing went great. Kids did a fab job. Thanks for asking. After dinner this evening we had family come visit for the evening. They just left a few minutes ago. It was great having them here, dont get to see them but once or twice a year now. They used to live next door to us so got together all the time so the kids could play. They had their sons service dog Jesse with them. Loved it. It has been a while since I got to play with a larger dog. Mine passed away a few months ago and havent had much interest in getting another till now. Thinking it may be time to give it some consideration. It felt so good to have a fur baby on the couch again even though this one, a lab took up most of the couch. It still felt great and even DH didnt seem to mind having a larger breed invading the couch.
