bizarre resolution (dogs)

I am so used to dogs being unmanageable in a barely bearable way, that I am astonished to report that it has all more or less resolved nicely. Kenzie has become Charlie's lieutenant in patrolling the grounds. Millie has become some kind of Queen Victoria figure, only occasionally (and I reckon tokenistically) expressing dominance over Charlie who will in turn express it over Kenzie (in a 'naughty dolly' way). Yesterday morning the sight of Charlie and Millie's silly sleepy heads watching from their beds as Kenzie did a morning dance was nothing short of hilarious. They looked like the archetypal exhausted parents.
