April 30, 2008 - Guinness is doing very well.  He decided to become a squirrel hunter and has already brought us a squirrel "gift".  He's going in next week to get fixed but he doesn't know it yet.  Attached is a picture of him with Fletch who acts like his father instead of brother.  The next time Debbie is home when you're having an adoption day we'll bring him up to see everybody.

Sugar

April 12, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Sugar!

April 14, 2008 - Just wanted to give an update on little Sugar.  Oscar and I renamed her Leela and she's the absolute new love of our lives!  We brought her to meet both of our parents, and they all loved her, too.  We've never been so popular at PetsMart, either!  Everyone wanted to come up and see the little lady.  The trip tuckered her out though, as you can see, she fell asleep in the cart.  While there, we met another employee that works at the Towne Lake Animal Hospital, so I know everyone will be excited to see her during her next check-up. 
She had a little separation anxiety the first two nights so far, but we knew that going in to getting a younger puppy.  We signed up for puppy training classes and our first class is this Saturday, the 19th.  We're excited and anxious to start training with her.  :)
Thank you so much for the opportunity to adopt such a sweet little girl!  We'll send updates and more pictures as she grows!

Buckley

April 12, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Buckely!

May 6, 2008 - I wanted to give you an update on Buckley ( the yellow male pup  we adopted )  He is Three months old  and doing great!! He loves the kids and playing fetch.  He sleeps through the night and is just such a great fit for our family.   The vet said he is healthy and beautiful! No one can believe he was a rescue dog because he looks like the lab in the commercials.    Anyway, I could go on and on about my dog all day but suffice it to say that he is doing great and we love him.  Thanks LFS  !!!

March 18, 2008 - Here are a couple pictures of Murphy (I changed his name again...I think he likes it better haha)  He is being such a fantastic little doggie.  He gets along with Macie, they love to wrestle and play tug with their toys.  He is also quite the swimmer!  I took him out to the park and threw the tennis ball into the water and he did a huge belly flop into the water and swam out to get it.  He's precious!

March 7, 2008 - Everything is great!  Jet is such a great dog.  He's starting to pick up on some commands and has come out of his shell.  He's a great pup and has quickly become part of the family.  I was out late at a meeting last night and Jet had trouble going to bed because he was looking for me.  My wife has taken some pictures with our good camera and we'll try to get you a good update for the web with a good picture.  He really is doing wonderfully and we are so happy with him.

Mater

February 27, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Mater!

February 28, 2008 - He is doing wonderful.  We are calling him Bear and he seems to like it.  It is amazing how he just moved right in.  Him and Sarah (our female lab) have already bonded and they play and hang out all day.  He is very well behaved and listens well too.  We took him and Sarah on a walk yesterday and after about 5 minutes of work he did great.  He was actually better than Sarah.  He smiles and wiggles all over when we tell him what a good boy he is!!  He just loves to hear that!!  Yesterday he was chasing birds in the back yard.  It was the first time we heard him bark.  We have been watching him closely when he is outside but so far he does not seem to want to get out of the fence.  He and Sarah mostly lay on the back porch in the sun and the chase each other around the yard.  When they get tired of being out they come to the door together and ask to be let back in.  He loves the indoor/outdoor option!!  His favorite thing to do when he comes back in is to get a big drink of water and then come put his head in your lap.  He just looks at you like "What??"  He really has so much personality!!  Sarah seems happy to have a friend again, too!!  Thank you so much for this wonderful dog!!

Chance

February 16, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Chance!

March 1, 2008 - Hi, I just wanted to let you know how well Chance is doing. I had him at the vet yesterday, and his tail looks really good. We wrapped it again and are going to wait 2 more weeks and then try it without a wrap. Hopefully it won't break open. He is still gaining weight and is doing great in training. I took him jogging this past week and he did awesome! My youngest son gave chance one of his twin beds, so he now sleeps in his own bed. He is loving that. Thanks again!

Dave

February 3, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Dave!

February 11, 2008 - We tried Ben for a couple hours but he really responded to Dave much better. We seem to think that was his original name.  So Dave is doing great, he is the sweetest dog that will do anything for attention "He loves his head scratched"!  Amy and I so happy we found Ben! He so well trained already and he lives for his daily walk.  We just had a follow up visit to the vet and they managed to clip his nails and gave us some more antibiotics for his ears.  Dave is doing great and we love him very much!  I'll send you some pictures later this week.   Thanks!

March 11, 2008 - Just wanted to give you an update on Dave! He is doing wonderful! He is the most sweetest dog ever...He loves to cuddle and will just plop right on top of you to be close. Nadir and I walk him everyday and he loves to chase squirrels!! Once I find my cord to hook up to  my camera to download onto the computer,  I will send you pictures. I thought about taking him by the pet basket if you were going to be there this Saturday, so you could see him!
 
Just let me know! And thanks again, we absolutely love him!

Nell

February 2, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Nell!

March 13, 2008 - Nelly is much happier. She still has anxiety when left alone at home. I think it's because someone is around most of the time. She is with someone more often than not. The training class is going well. She is a GREAT student. She is so smart and learns really quick! She sleeps next to me in the bed and is very affectionate with me. With other people and dogs, she greets them shyly. I notice she warms up to women a lot faster than men.   So far so good!

Gabby

Justin

February 2, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Justin!

February 7, 2008 - I wanted to give you an update on Cody (formerly known as Justin).  Our family is so blessed to have such a great dog. He is everything anybody could want in a dog, companion and friend. He is fitting in right away and finding a way directly to each of our hearts.  Abby starts training with him tonight and the fence will be repaired and installed on Friday. Until then we are sneaking him to the tennis courts for exercise. Don't turn us in please! 

One little story... as I mentioned on adoption day I don't want him on the furniture. Of course, he sleeps with Abby so this makes her bed a little tricky and a very grey area as far as training. Today I simply laid a blanket that he lays on in her room, beside her bed with a toy on it and left it there while I took a shower and such. A little later I couldn't find him went to look and found him in Abby's room. Where was he? Laying on the blanket, not the bed!!! I could not believe it. What a great dog!

Kona

February 2, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Kona!

May 8, 2011 -  "OUR" Kona has been such a pleasure to have. She was perfect for Ryan at his age. He feeds, bathes, plays, and walks her. We don't see her as our dog, she is a family member. Our older son goes to collage at The Citadel, A military collage, and is in Kilo Company. He asked if we could name her "Kilo" so when he is away her name ties her into everything we as a family are involved in. So we named her Kilo. She is so spoiled. Ryan will fill a shopping cart just for her if you let him. We found a great veterinarian, Loving Hands in Alpharetta on hwy 9. They’re awesome!! We registered Ryan as the owner and he is so proud of that. I could on and on. We are going to bring her up to visit for a few minutes on Saturday when you’re in Alpharetta.

Gracie

January 12, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Gracie!

January 13, 2008 -  It is unbelievable how quickly Shelby and Gracie have bonded. Today Shelby was in her room with the door closed and Gracie laid at the door waiting for her to come out. When she did Gracie's tail was going 90 mph.  Earlier in the day Shelby went outside and Gracie jumped up on the door looking for her. She then went to the window and watched her walk up and back down the driveway. She is still a little unsure about Ana and I, but that is to be expected. Just thought I would share this and the photo.

February 12, 2008 - We cannot believe it has been 30 days from today that we adopted Gracie!  Things are going well.  She has settled into our routine and seems to be very happy.  Shelby gave one of her stuffed toys to Gracie and now is Gracie's favorite aka "Baby". What a remarkable change, we have witnessed in
Gracie over this past month. Gracie and Gizmo (Cat) tolerate one another right now. Gracie lives upstairs and Gizmo in the basement, by their own choices. Gracie will not go into the basement, because she knows the beast lives down there. Moreover, what is even funnier is we take her to work with us and she refuses to go into any basement. Gracie loves to ride now. At first, she was scared to death to get in the car. After a few times and she realized she would come home, all you have to do is open the door and she is in and ready.  Attached are two photos the first is Gracie looking down the
basement stairs for the beast and the second is of her on her homemade bed with baby.  Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

January 8, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Shelby!

January 14. 2008 - Shiner, the former Shelby, has adjusted well to her new home.  She gets along well with our cat and is very happy walking on a leash.  She is very comfortable in her crate and sleeps from around midnight to sunrise.  We have set an appointment for Feb 6^th with Roswell Animal Hospital for her next round of shots.  We are so happy to be sharing our home with her.

Darla

January 6, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Darla!

March 14, 2008 - I just wanted you to know she fits in perfectly with our whole gang and loves all of the attention from us and the other dogs. Her favorite thing right now is her fuzzy Easter duckie and chasing the cats around the living room while they chase her back and of course snuggling in mommy's lap a lot or in front of the fireplace on her bed. I have pics just haven't had chance to download to computer yet. I will send asap. Thanks for the blessing we have in Darla she is truly a light in our lives.

Sassy

January 5, 2008 - Happy Gotcha Day, Sassy!

January 9, 2008 - Sassy now named Lily is doing great.  She came in and just immediately fit into our family.  She plays wonderfully with the girls and is completely house trained.  We were worried about her being rough with the cats but it is actually Lily who is a little afraid of them.  She will be going to the vet next week and we plan on signing her up for some training soon.  She is the sweetest dog; we couldn't have picked a better addition for our family.    

Thank You!
