Happy Ending Update for Delta (Formerly Zuni, Adopted 12/2015)

I just wanted to give you another update on Delta.  She is doing WONDERFUL!!  She has an amazing, playful personality and everyone who has met her has instantly fallen in love - dogs and humans!    She LOVES playing with kids, and when she is tired she would actually rather snuggle up with them than me!  I was bypassed for my nephews the other weekend at bedtime!

 

 

She has gotten the potty training down and we haven't had an accident in weeks!  It's been great.  Still working on the mouthing/nipping, but that's the puppy life!!  

She also started her first puppy kindergarten class in January, and we have now moved onto another - Senior puppy kindergarten.  Looking forward to beginner obedience training next, after she gets to be 6 months old!  She is turning out to be a very smart girl. - also a mama's girl, as you can see from some of the pictures.  We have a great bond - maybe she'll even start listening to me at some point!  

 

I also caved in and got her DNA tested:  Delta is an American Staffordshire Terrier and Germany Shepherd/American Bulldog mix.  A great mix if you ask me!   

Thanks again so much for allowing me to adopt her - she has absolutely completed my life!

Happy Ending Update for Kato (Formerly Zamboni, Adopted 12/2015)

 

Update Received January 2016: Kato is doing really great! Potty and crate training is going really well and he's a great listener.  While he knows 'sit', we're still working on 'stay'. He really likes company and loves to snuggle.

Happy Ending Update for Teddy (Formerly Zorro, Adopted 12/2015)

Update Received January 2016: Things are going great with Teddy! He has really become a part of the family. He has taken a liking to our older dog Joey. Joey has really come around since the first couple days. They love to play in the snow together and they eat their pig ears right next to each other!

Happy Ending Update for Paisley (Adopted 9/2015)

 

Update Received January 2016: When Paisley was adopted she had no interest and had no idea as to how to play fetch.    It took a few weeks of throwing a ball outside before Paisley would even pay attention to what I was doing with her.  Today is a different story!  Now, all I have to do is say "find your Kong or find the Ball" and we are off on an exercise of playing fetch for about 10-20 minutes in the house on these cold days!  It is interesting how a little bit of peanut butter turned her interest around.  Now, daily she brings me her Kong or ball and drops it at my feet letting me know it is time to play & I love it!  Thank you again.

Happy Ending Update for Yukon (Formerly Maserati, Adopted 10/2015)

Update Received January 2016: I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Yukon (formerly Maserati) so you can see what a handsome guy he's growing up to be! He's doing awesome and is such a great puppy. Plenty of personality, but really mellow and keeps his head about things. We all love him so much! At his vet visit this week (4 1/2 months) he's 40 lbs. Thanks again for what you did for him and all the pups you help.

Happy Ending Update for Kyra (Formerly Cinnamon, Adopted 12/2014)

Update Received January 2016: Hello, my name is Kyra (formerly Cinnamon). This past year has been great! I have wonderful family who love to take care of me and play with me. My neighbor Noxxi and I love to play outside together! But most of all I love trips up to the cabin. We go fishing, play with other dogs, go for walks and play fetch out on the sand point where I learned to swim! I am pretty sure next summer I am ready to drive the boat.  When I am relaxing I love to watch TV and cuddle with my mom and dad!  Thanks for helping me find my forever home I’m a very lucky doggie!!

Happy Ending Update for Darwin (Formerly Zeke, Adopted 12/2015)

Update Received January 2016: Everything is going very well with Zeke! We renamed him Darwin. He is fitting in very well with the family and older brother, Turbo. Turbo has been helpful in training him. He sleeps through the night without problems. Darwin is a very sweet, smart boy. He often looks like he is just calmly taking everything in. He already knows how to "sit" just from observing Turbo. Darwin tends to go with the flow. If the family is doing something quiet, he tends to be a quiet little snuggler. He also loves to play. He has done well with the holidays and family excursions. Over Christmas he took his first long car trip up to Brainerd for a few days.
