Barley and Mason had their check up yesterday and everyone is doing great. Barley is on her
last round of ALBON for the cocidia and she now weights 7.2 lbs and is in perfect health. He is just giving her the Albon to make sure the conccidia isn’t lying dormant in her little system. Mason is a
whopping 11.9 lbs and is turning into a beautiful boy. He loves his training treats. They both sit, down, high five and RUN.. BOY DO THEY RUN!!!!! lol Thanks again for such wonderful babies. See attached pics taken a few nights ago when they wanted on the bed (which of course is where they sleep). Will send more pics once we get out and about with them. They finally have their last round of shots and can go out and about. Can’t wait to see how they react to parks and camping
etc.

She is doing so well. She is so friendly and affectionate, and has done beautifully with every dog and cat she has met. She is now inseparable from our elderly black lab, and won’t go out or eat unless he is with her doing the same thing. She is clearly learning from him, and now sits nicely before getting her dinner or a treat. She likes to play with him and he is so tolerant of her puppy antics.
I took her out on a walk with some friends and three other puppies and she was so funny. She is ten times faster than any of them! She is so pretty when she runs. They romped and played. We came to a stream and the other three dogs jumped right in (they are retrievers, and had been to this place before). Gracie had us doubled over in laughter. She was not so sure about the water, because she’s had a bath and didn’t much enjoy it, so she danced around the edge of the water testing it out, meanwhile gazing longingly at the other three happy, paddling dogs. She rolled in the mud a little, splashed a little, ran back and forth and finally decided, hey, I’m going it. At which point she blasted at full speed right straight into the water. Of course that put her way out over her head before she even knew it! She started paddling furiously and paddled so hard she launched herself halfway out of the water up into the air. Of course she got the hang of it quickly.
At home she is just a love. She sleeps with my daughter but we had to buy her a little dog bed and put it down at the foot of the bed, because otherwise she’d creep right up onto the pillow next to Karina’s head! Now she runs in a curls up in her bed when she sees Karina brushing her teeth.
I can’t express to all of you how grateful we all are that you saved Gracie for us. She is an endless delight and we are all completely smitten. She comes everywhere with us and is so well-behaved in the car and on a leash in a crowd that it’s easy to bring her. In fact a crowd forms whenever we bring her out because her personality is so attractive.
Again, many thanks to all of you and rest assured, Gracie is a now a pampered princess with a loving family!
All the best — Dianne

Formerly Lydia, Fiona was resting after a long day at play. She was adopted by a family who treats her special. She gets to play with other visiting dogs and children and is enjoyed by all members of the family. She is even better than expected! She left here in a crate that made her feel as though she was in a palace, until they took a turn, in which case she slid side to side, but it was loaded with toys, and a big chewy bone.

Sweetie has had a wonderful Summer chasing all the critters (squirrels and chip monks) that venture into her and Wylie’s backyard. The flower patch is looking a little bit trampled, but Fall and Winter are coming anyway. For a Georgia gal, Sweetie took to Wisconsin Winter; she loves running around in the snow! She has claimed one particular chair in our house and at night when we watch TV, Sweetie is on her chair zzzzzing away always with a watchful eye for anything to happen. She’s doing great and Wylie is happy that he has someone else to get into trouble with!!
Hope all is well with you, Joy! Looks like you have a full house of dogs–I’ll drop a check in the mail so they can have some treats on Sweetie.
Maryelyn and Keith
