Isn’t she the cutest?? She is getting sleepy home in Pembroke on Easter day; we’d already run 4-miles in the morning….OH, and Saturday (and then Monday as well, vacation day!!! She’s an energizer bunny!!! I just wished she was not so finicky an eater)…hope you and yours had a lovely day!
Hi Philip!
Wanted to check in with you about Oscar (and how could I not send more pictures!!)
I swear he now “poses” for them J I have been trying to capture his “smile” in a photo and although I haven’t succeeded yet, I enclosed a funny picture of the tail end of one, he makes me laugh every day 🙂 I am sending you 2 different emails to be able to send you the pictures! He is a FANTASTIC dog, I just love him so very much! He is completely used to the cold now — it doesn’t phase him at all anymore! In fact, he’s usually the last one to come in. I have been bringing him to a huge local pet store to help socialize him, the workers there have been very helpful & understanding toward him . I bring hot dog bits with me J The first visit, he growled at everyone & tried to climb under every shelf he could find L I didn’t stay too long, I tried to keep it light & happy. The second & third time, he only growled at certain people & he did take treats from some. The nice thing too is he is so distracted in there that wearing a leash which he doesn’t like, is the least of his worries – poor guy. I will continue to bring him there & other places. I will be THRILLED the day he can join me & my other dogs on the long walks we take every day. The other item we are working on J is my neighbor lets my dogs out for me on Saturdays when I am a the clinic. Since he had quite a serious growl/bark toward her while I was here, I asked her to stop over briefly each day, just to give him a treat so he could get to know her. The first time she entered while I was at the clinic to let them out she said he was lunging/growling/barking & wouldn’t let her enter the house. What I do now is close the door to his crate & leave the house, then she comes in & drops him a treat & leaves — short & sweet. He is SUCH a snuggle bunny!!!! He loves burying himself between my comforters, & he sleeps with me every night!
Sorry my email is so long, but I just absolutely adore him, and I’ll always be grateful to you guys for saving him !! All the best in 2010 for you J

Buddy is doing good. He loves to play. He gets excited when I come in the room, but he is still scared go outside. We are still working on it. He likes to get on my bed. He has grown some too.

Hello!
Just wanted to update you again on Duke (“cute lab puppies”). We’ve been hit with a major snow storm and Duke LOVES it! He fits right in! Even though the attached picture isn’t the best, it’s all I could do being I could barely see the screen outside. I’ll send another cute picture showing the aftermath of coming in from the snow – he passed out on the couch (we got well over a foot of snow – more like at least 2-3′ with the drifts)!
He’s doubled in size from when we got him and doing very well!
Thanks!
🙂 Sue
She is doing really well and seems to love the snow! Thanks so much for bringing her to us.
