Hi there,
It has been WAY too long since we had updated you all on Isac (whom we
adopted this last summer:) We were without internet for a while and never
really understood the whole e-mail via cell phone thing.
He has been great in our home! On the way home from Siren, we stopped
a lot and let him get out and stretch. He seemed right at home when he
went around and sniffed everything, and checked out his new backyard. (Of
course he had to chase the few squirrels out of the way!) The second day
we had him he decided to jump into our kiddie pool that we had set up and just
laid down and started drinking the water lol! He has quite the
personality, and a ton of nicknames from our kids to boot for all his little
quirks! Our two kids Sadie and David have absolutely fell in love with him over
the past year. We go on nightly walks as a family around the park and
neighborhood around our house, (recently we just found a new trail that leads us
all the way to the Mississippi River even!) so exploring with him has been
a blast. It took a while for him to get used to us calling him, and for
him to actually respond and come when we'd call him in, but now he comes running
in when ever we snap or call him from the back door. I'm enclosing
some photos, and one last story. My son just started kindergarten at
the beginning of the year, and when we went on a walk to the bus stop to see him
off Isac refused to move! He just sat there and laid down right where the
kids had stood to wait for the bus and would NOT move until I finally bribed him
(with his end of the walk doggie treat). He still has his internal clock
for within a couple minutes when the bus rolls around the neighborhood. He
runs and grabs his leash off of the coat hook, and drags it to me..sometimes
before even I realize it's about time for them to be home! :) We just
wanted to say thank you again, for allowing us to adopt him, as he has been just
an amazing addition to our family! Hope all is well with everything up in
Siren, and that you all had a mild winter!
Thanks again
Tanya
