Did your dog-walks ever get your dogs' energy levels back to non-naughty levels, Leila? And did your hair ever stop itching? :p
The dog walks helped them settle down. Now Dante is a perfect little angel who is so, so sorry whenever he thinks he may have possibly thought about something bad. And Pixel will be a perfect little angel as long as you are in the same room.
