Hey Toby, So glad to hear from you. It sounds like your rescued brother is a bit of a nut–somewhat like Ollie. We think Ollie sees and hears things that the rest of us don’t. This winter mom brushed off her car and stuck the broom upside down in a snow bank by the house. I am sure that Ollie thought it was a monster with spikey hair that was attacking the house! He went crazy barking and circling the broom. Of course, the monster broom had no reactiion which drove him even crazier! He watches tv and when he sees another dog, cat, alligator, kangaroo etc. on the screen, he attacks the screen, barking and carrying on–it gets to the point where we cannot watch anything on Animal Planet when he is around. I wanted to see the Springers at the Westminster Dog Show later this week, but I am not sure we are going to be able to if he is staying with us! Mom thinks it’s funny, but man, I find it annoying! Say hi to your mom and everyone in Califiornia for us. Best wishes, Tak
