The visit with the vet as a good one.  She weighs 37.5 pounds.  Has some minor skin eruptions and dry patches.  Something we should be able to take care of with food supplements. 

For the first 4 nights Trixie slept in her kennel without complaint. Bedded down and went to sleep.  Last night she cried (softly, but I could hear her) and scratched at her cage.  So I got up and we slept together in the Lazy Boy love seat.  Just my little girl and I.
