Isac

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
