Rye

We have been having a wonderful time with Ranger (Rye). He seems to be adjusting well and is enjoying playing with the kids. The potty training is going o.k. A couple of accidents in the house but not too many. He loves to run and put his face in the snow. He is eating very well and is growing quickly. We will send pictures soon. Thank you all so much for letting Ranger become part of our family. We love him very much. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love, The Rices

Salvia

It has been a week since we adopted our girl and we just love her...we have renamed her Izzie...she is smart and after one day of being shy, she has warmed up to us and our house. She has only had a couple of accidents in the house...she goes to the door and whines and barks when she has to go out...she is playful and a snuggler...she loves going in her kennel/crate at night and she has won the hearts of everyone in the family...she even spent two nights at the deer shack with my husband and son this weekend and was able to play with another puppy while she was there...She was obviously taken good care of at the shelter and we appreciate all of the hard work the people at the kennel do...I hope her brothers and sisters all find good homes...She has been a great addition to our family...I will send some pictures of her one of these days...Thanks again.

Mary Ann and Izzie too!

Meeko

Thanks for inquiring about Meeko - he's doing great. The first couple days he liked to take naps upstairs under the bed - now he prefers the couch. He is a lot of fun and likes to be anywhere that we are. His favorite place is on a cat stand Dennis made - he has a great view of the bird feeder. We are so glad we adopted him. Thanks for all you do.

Lucky

We're doing great. We get a nice walk in every morning. He's got a great fenced yard he loves to run in most of the day. He usually doesn't want to come in for hours at a time.

We've been working on fetch with a ball. Sometimes it becomes a game of keep away from dad though. We started a training class last week so working on that as well. Trying to get to the dog park next week some. He does great with all the dogs we've met on walks and the neighborhood dogs.

I think he's gonna be a great dog especially when he learns what is and isn't ok to chew on. We've lost a fre pair of shoes already.

Belle and Linus

Both Madeline (Belle) and Moose (Linus) are doing GREAT!! They play all the time running and chasing each other. Moose loves bags (paper, duffel anything he can climb into) and Madeline pounces on top. They snuggle and cuddle and are very happy to have their foever home. Madeline had a ball fetish, every night when I climb the stairs to go to bed she sits on the end of the bed and cries and cries until I toss her pink spongie ball, she fetches it and I have to toss it at least 10 times, then I put the ball away and we go to bed. Moose plays with my husbands feet, pouncing on them as he has them under the covers while I play fetch with Madeline. They are a great addition to our family and we adore them.

Otto

Otto is doing great! He is so happy to have a home, especially now that the weather is getting colder. Otto even has his own collar and tags now--the real sign that he has people! He loves to be loved. He still has some manners to learn, but he has made such good progress. He sits on command now and this week he has learned "get down" when he gets on the couch. When he first came home, he was afraid of so many things. He wouldn't leave the living room/kitchen area and he was afraid of the cats. Now he loves to come into my bedroom and sleeps on the bed with our other dog. It's a good thing I have a king-sized bed! He doesn't understand why the cats don't want to play with him now, either. Conquering his fear of the stairs is next. Keeping him in bones and other chew toys is a challenge since he goes through them very quickly!! Overall, he is just a love and we can't imagine our home without him!

Our best wishes to our Humane Society friends!!

Garner

He's doing wonderfully! He has been renamed Wilson. At the moment, he is snoozing underneath my chair near my other dog Ziggy. We're working on potty training and I'll be settingup a vet appt.

We love him - he's a great dog!

We took a bunch of pics as well (one of them, Wilson fell asleep head first in Mark's shoe!). Very cute! Will definitely stay in touch!
