To help Robie to get over the pain we decided to adopt Laika. 

 

But poor Robie. She was very calm and cordly and I took her together with an 2 year-old totally active dog who always wants to play. *gg* If Robie doesn't want to then Laika nibbles and barks at her until Robie gets the needle. Well, and then I may forget a calm evening in front of the TV. But it's more enjoyable to see how they are playing together. ;)
