havent noticed any medical side effects, and definitely havent noticed any behavioral differences (contrary to what some readings would suggest). however, sumo is/was still under his mature drive to reproduce age, so maybe that has a lot to do with it. chibi is back to her normal high energy torment her brother behavior :)
she's back (and happy) sleeping in her crate at night.
still waiting for mom to upload some pics of the doggies in their "cones of silence"
things we've noticed:
- chibi has become the calm/relaxed well behaved dog we had hoped for (for the most part), and it's only taken a year and half
- sumo isnt quite there yet, but is definitely more outgoing and affable then she ever was (or will be)
- he barks 10x more than she does
- i had forgotten how much time/work it was, to get chibi to walk nicely on leash (and now she's a pro), and sumo still has some work to do
- we still suspect chibi wouldnt be the well behaved balanced dog she is now, had we not added sumo to the mix (regardless of how many walks we took her on a day) :)

Yeah, I think dogs mellow out as they age. Loki's behavior has much improved & at 1.5 yrs old, he is mostly very well-behaved.
Glad to hear that both of your dogs are doing well =)
