2/2011 All is well with Onion. She is in charge of the family dynamics; very opinionated, smart, loving. resourceful and the main player..her brother, another rescue, has allowed her to take over. He patiently waits his turn. The bed is Onion's during the night and he regains his turf early am, my husband rises early hence I always have a warm back thanks to my "Dog Children." Life is good, if only she would stop barking at every noise she hears. Our guests don't always appreciate her mouthy ways..but either we are getting used to it or our hearing is getting bad. Onion is her own boss and we are happy to have her in our life.  Linda
