Snapple

Thanks Virginia, We picked her up on the 4th, and things are going well. After much deliberation, the kids finally agreed on the name Shadow for her, and she's learning to come when called. We definitely have more work to do on training, but she seems to pick things up pretty quickly, and clearly wants to please once she forms a bond (which she seems to be doing, particularly with me and Matthew who have spent the most time with her the past few days.) She took a while to get comfortable, but is warming up to us and we are starting to see her personality coming out. We get our invisible fence on Tuesday, so will be able to spend much more time in the backyard, which I know she will love. I could tell she wanted to play a bit more energetically and get off her leash, but I've been hesitant to let her spend much time off it outside until we have a more secured area. She's been really good about coming when I call her, so last evening we all went outside and got her chasing a tennis ball, and Matthew, in our backyard. I knew she was strong, but she is really FAST too! It was fun to watch her out there, so happy. Each time we have gone out to play like that, she notices more, beyond our yard, and looks tempted. So far she's come when I've called her, but if the right bird or rabbit tempted her, I'm not sure that I'd trust her to know the boundries right now, so for a few more days, outdoor playtime will be limited. Also, we did finally hear her bark, after 2 days! I'll keep you posted on how things develop.

Fred

Hi Tracey! Things are going really well!!! He is SO awesome and just a really super chill dog! I really am SO happy that I made the choice to adopt him! I got him groomed yesterday and he looks even better! He only had one accident on the first night I had him, and I just think I wasn't really walking him and taking him out like he needed to be. Since that accident, he has been good, and we have had no problems. He is eating REALLY well, I was surprised, but he is doing well with that. I am crating him at night for now...but I think I might change that, I just feel bad he has to be in the crate all night and all day...and this is the first day for that, so we'll see. Anyway, other than that things are really good. He doesn't really like to go in the kennel, but if I put him in there, he doesn't seem to get really upset or anything. I am just SO happy to have him, and he is VERY relaxed. :)

Scooby

We couldn't of asked for a better first night.....he found his spot, and slept all night. He hasn't had any more accidents inside, he's going to be fine <>. The Girls still aren't sure why he is here, but haven't seen anything bad from any of them. All's well !! I'll be in touch.

Autumn

Sorry this is delayed, but anyone who is familiar with Autumn will be happy to know she was adopted on Wed. June 22. An update from her new daddy is that he has named her Sammie and she is doing wonderful! She goes to the video rental store he owns with him every day and loves greeting his customers. In fact, she'll softly whimper until they pet her. She recently went to his sister's house, had a great time playing with her dog, and being loved on by her four little kids (6mo-5 1/2 years old). They pulled her tail and ears and she sat there and loved every minute of it. He said she's had no accidents in the house, sleeps in the bed with him, cuddles with his 84 year old father, and will be going to the vet soon to get a check-up and heartworm prevention. YAY!!!! Sounds like a great adoption!
