Sandy, Lady is doing great!  We just had her at the vet getting her vaccinations updated.  She weighed in at 126.8.  Lady has become a great member of our family.  Her and the girls are best buds.  Over the past year she loved to go outside on the nice summer days with the girls, learned how to swim when the public pool opened up to dogs for a day, saw Izabella off on her first day of school, completed our family Christmas picture, and got to play in snow for the first time. Thank you so much for giving us such a great family member!

Hi Sandy!

I wanted to send you a quick update to let you know how Lady has been adjusting.  The ride home went really well.  She slept most of the ride.  Every now and then she would get up and want to check things out, but would go back to getting her beauty rest soon after.

She did a lot of checking things out when we first arrived home.  Izabella and Anastasia had fun showing her around.  After taking a look around and playing with some of her new toys, considering the sudden change of environment, I feel she settled in quite nicely.  Lady soon made herself at home taking some naps in Izzy's and Daddy's arms.  It took her a couple of hours before she had any of her food, and it was midnight when she decided to have some water.  After having some water, and having her last potty break, it was time to call it a night and to show her her crate.  She did well with entering, but after a minute she started to let us know how she was feeling.  To our surprise she quieted down after about 5 min and we all fell fast asleep.  She slept most of the night, waking only once at 3ish - had potty break- then woke for the day at about 6:30.

Day 2 - She started eating and drinking on a more regular basis.  She still doesn't care for the cold too much, but considering everything, she is doing well with going potty outside.  Some breaks are faster than others.  The biggest part of Day 2 was her first day of Puppy Kindergarten.   Her class is is from 8-9pm.  Josiah said she didn't really care to participate too much in the beginning, but came around by the end of the class.  There are three other dogs in the class, and she doesn't quite know what to think of them.  Apparently she is the most laid back one.  I heard everyone couldn't get enough of how gorgeous and calm she was.  Needless to say, by the time she came home from class she was ready to call it a night.

Day 3 - We started the day off by taking her to Izabella's preschool.  Part of her homework for the week was to take her some place new with lots of people.  She did really well and did not mind one bit letting me hold her the whole time.  All the kids came up and were loving on her, and she was just so patient.  Again, everyone, staff included, could not get over how gorgeous and good she was being.  Lady also had her first vet visit.  All went well.  She slept through most of her visit, but was a little surprised when she had to have her temperature taken.

Cool, calm, and collected seems to be her thing.  Lady has been absolutely amazing.  She has been so awesome with our girls, and loves just being with the family.  Oh, and we found out one of her favorite toys so far are her little plush furry friends.

Thank you, Sandy, for helping this transition go more smoothly than we could have ever hoped for!!!!
