Caspar
Hi Virginia,
I just wanted to let you know that Capone (Caspar) is doing great! He is wonderful on a leash (thanks to the pinch collar and hours of watching Caesar), and he has adapted well to his new home. He is a great helper when I'm grading papers, too.
Capone is also a very quick learner. We have aleady perfected the sit, shake, stay, lay down, release, and the "godzilla" commands. I am going to try introducing him to new dogs sometime this week.
Thank you for saving him. I will tell all of my friends about your organization.

Tess
Thanks for faxing records, she's all set. We had our first vet visit, she did great! My vet spent 2 hours with us, going over things. They all loved Tess. I found out the hard way that she's a jumper, and scaled my 5 foot fence like it was nothing. Now she is leashed outside 100% of the time, which makes me sad, but necessary. She had her first bath last night; can't say she enjoyed it but tolerated it : ) We have been to 2 Pet Connection training sessions. So, things are going well and she's such a sweetie!

Sherrie,
Things are going great! Izzy is still a little jealous but she gets better everyday. We have had a few potty training mishaps but she is really doing very well. I wish the warmer weather would come back so Henry ,Callie, and I could stay outside a little longer and go for walks.

Thank you and thank you for giving me a chance to give Tashi a new life.

Chelsey
Hi,
I wanted to give you an update on a very special dog, Chelsey, that I adopted from your organization for my dad . In October my mother passed away after a very long and trying illness. My dad has always been a dog lover and we did have dogs when we were kids but they were always outdoors (we lived in a small town so they just “roamed”). In the past 10 years or so my dad had mentioned wanting a dog again but mom knew she would be the one to take care of it, so that idea was vetoed. A week or two after my mom passed away I decided it was the right time to get a companion for my dad as I just didn’t know how he’d survive without my mom there (he’s 86). Long story short, it was by the grace of God that we ended up getting Chelsey as she had already been promised to another family, however Chelsey did not get along with their dog as it turned out---so she was ours.
Anyway, from Day One Chelsey has been my dad’s best friend, companion, listening board, mealtime mate, etc., etc. She is very well trained and gentle (she came to us that way) and every day they both hop into the car for a trip downtown, or to neighboring towns to get groceries, various appointments, or whatever. My dad includes Chelsey in Everything! (I have reminded him he cannot take her and leave her in the car when the weather gets warmer, however…..). The things that irritate the rest of us, such as her yipping and barking when she’s excited, are thrilling to my dad – “she just loves to talk” he says. She is pretty much his entire life.
Anyway, I had intended to write a note sooner to the gal from TARA that helped us adopt Chelsey but I deleted her e-mail address. I just wanted you all to know that this dog has been an absolute Godsend for my dad – and us. Thank you for letting us adopt this special dog.
