Thought I would let you know how Fidget was doing , now known as “Derby”. Here are some photos of her. She is spoiled rotten and travels with me  everyday. J

Thank You,

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog."

- Edward Hoagland

UPDATE!!!

Last night Rylee (Bobbie) graduated from PetSmart Puppy Training and I wanted to send you a couple of pictures. She weighed in at 27 pounds and was the star of the class, often getting selected to demonstrate tricks and commands. She even rode a skateboard a few feet! The trainer said if we took the time we could probably teach her to read. She is very good at Sit, Down, Stay, Drop It and Leave It. She is pretty good on Dead Dog and Roll Over. The one we have the most trouble with is Come - depends on her mood and if she feels like showing off for a crowd. Her coat is so black and shiny that she looks almost "oily". She's had all of her shots and gets her teeth brushed every weekend with a dental spray most other nights. We still have some more housebreaking to do but we're down to just one or two mistakes a week.

While we were at the beach she spent the week with "uncle Jack" and Marley the Jack Russell. She goes to visit them a couple of times each week and starts pulling at the leash whenever she sees their house. During that time she slept alone with her crate door open, and since then hasn't liked her crate even though she didn't complain a lot. The past 4 nights she has slept on the bed with us all night. We have a baby gate to keep her in the bedroom and out of trouble, but she hasn't bothered to get off the bed unless we get up.

Rylee has been a wonderful addition to our family and we want to again thank you for choosing us to be her family. The pain of losing Troi is still there, but each day Rylee reminds us of all the good things we had with Troi. We just wanted you to know how well she is doing and how much we love having her with us.

UPDATE!!!

I wanted to give you an update on Jonas, Tora, Gunther and finally Milo which stuck.

He is a happy laid back boy, a real keeper.  He and my sheppard Tucker get on very well.  He was a little touch and go the first few days, but they are now in love.

He also likes the cat Spot, who tolerates him very patiently.  No blood drawn.

Thanks so much for Milo.
