Thanks for the very kind sentiments.
I have an implanted defibrillator/pacemaker.
Maggot, I actually had another name to offer for the new wolf, Obsidian, "Sid" for short, and wouldn't you know it, I forgot to post it up at the time.
The dogs (Lita and Jett, named after Lita Ford and Joan Jett, of The Runaways) are solidly within the purview of Elena, our Granddaughter. Elena's life revolves around music, she plays strings, keyboards, and percussion, and is a college trained audio engineer. The dogs are very skittish, and I have only been able to pet them a handful of times since they came home.
The cats are in my Purview. I suspect the bigger cat (Miss Maddie/Dementia) is heavier and longer than either dog. The cats do not speak with each other or the dogs. Middle night and dawn cat fights adorn our sleep periods, fairly loudly,
