Below are pictures and updates from Dagny's new family in Nanjemoy, MD. Click here to see pictures of Dagny during her first 8 weeks at Deepwood Acres. Pictured below at almost 9 years old. Pictured below at almost 9 years old with her new brindle friends Han Solo and Chewbacca at 4 months old. Hi Sandy, Chewy & Han are growing, growing, growing & really just the sweetest. Dagny's paw is still healing and we are having a hard time slowing her down, which you know is a GREAT problem to have since she is almost 9 yrs old!!! The other day the boys were in the yard and hanging out on the front porch with Dagny.  I wasn't home, Randy was inside doing something in the kitchen when Dagny came running in the house throwing a fit (barking, tap dancing) and Randy followed her outside where she showed him that Chewy had gotten himself stuck in the space between the porch couch and the exterior wall of the house, lol.  Chewy was fine, just stuck.  I know I mentioned before, but these 2 boys have really given Dagny a job and she is thriving.  Her intelligence & sassy attitude has made her the perfect leader for the boys. -Amy

Well, I tried to get pictures of Dagny looking so pretty on her Birthday but she is so worn out from today she just wants to sleep.  Her special day started with sleeping in & cuddling with her human mom because Dad had to get up early for work.  We all went for our morning walk then went over to run around & play at grandma's house because she has a huge fenced in yard that Cleo & Dagny can run & run, smell & play wtih all the fallen branches and leaves.  All that playing was followed by a few hours of scrub down at the groomers.  Tomorrow will be her next favorite thing to do: trail walk & helping me dig in the flower bed. After a few months of having Dagny my sister-in-law gave me a coffee mug that says 'My dog is my best friend.'  At first I thought "how cute" and giggled.  Then one day it dawned on me while I was hiking with Dagny, she is my best friend.  I didn't call anyone else to see if they wanted to join me for a hike... it was just me & her enjoying the trail.  So I can't thank you enough for the joy she brings us everyday.  She is the most beautiful and loving dog I know, and yes I am biased.  She surprises me to this day with her wonderful temperament and diva attitude.  She is my princess. Thank you, Amy

Happy Easter!  Dagny is doing fabulous; thought we would send a picture of her laying with her legs crossed in front, which she does often.  She and her best friend Cleo just arrived home from the groomer's where they put festive Easter handkerchiefs on them.  I couldn't pass up this photo op.

Hope all is well and we thank you for our wonderful and full of life Dagny, who brings us joy everyday.

Sincerely,
Amy & Charles

Sandy,

Dagny is doing great.  Here are some pix of Dagny and her new Best Friend, our rescue dog Cleo.  I consider Cleo a TRUE Rescue because I found her on the street in an area known for Dog fighting (she's a Pit Mix) and they are best friends now.

Dagny is about 130 pounds right now.  She really is the best dog.  I have never seen a dog have so much personality as she does.  She has a very unamused sound she makes by blowing out air through her mouth in a huff and making her mouth flap.  She does not like to be ignored and when she is, she likes to give you a look with her head cocked and and will walk away and try and find something to mess with to make you go and pay attention to her (namely socks) and she will even show it to you before she does tear it up saying its your fault I'm about to do this.  She likes to drag Cleo around while they play tug of war with stuff.  She is the best dog and she loves having her buddy Cleo with her all the time.

Hey, Just wanted to send you a few funny pictures.  We took her to the vet the other day and she was weighing in at 51 lbs so far.  She is doing great and is still trying to prove to us that she is Amy's guard dog which we always laugh at because even when she tries to make her serious bark it still sounds like her she is actually afraid of everything bark.  I have been taking her to the water a few times lately and she is getting a 50/50 feel for it right now and only lets herself get wet on her face and butt, but nowhere in between right now.  I'm half tempted to walk her into it holding her, but it's just too cold.  And the last picture is after we gave her a bath and she dried off and decided to take a well deserved nap on the bed looking like a bat hanging upside down.

Hope all yours are doing well and are as happy as ours.

Sincerely,
Charles, Amy, and Dagny

I think this dog might be broken because this is all she seems to do.  We are absolutely loving her and she is getting along great with our entire family and is almost 30lbs right now.  I will send you more pictures that my sister took of her that are really good but, I did want to keep you updated on her and let you know she is doing great.
