Benny

Hi! Just want you to know that Benny has adjusted beautifully! It’s like he’s been here since day 1. He and Oscar are friends (well, getting there) and there was absolutely no growling or anything. He ate great and already fell asleep in his crate all by himself. He is such a good boy! I’ll let you know more as we go along. I’m staying home with them all tomorrow. I’ll keep in touch. You’re the best! Thank you for everything!

Maggie

Christmas day is at our house, and Maggie really enjoyed all of the attention she received. You would have really enjoyed seeing Maggie with my sister's aunt-in -law. Dolly is 80 years old and has had several strokes. Maggie sat in front of Dolly and rested her head in her lap. Dolly just loved it. I don't think you or Teresa would recognize Maggie if you saw her today. She now runs through the house, tail wagging. She likes to wear a sweater. I'm not sure if it is for warmth or if it makes her feel more secure. Her walking on the lead has greatly improved with the help of an easy walk. It is a harness that has a sliding d ring on the chest, if the dog pulls, it turns them to face you. We are changing her food over to a gluten free food. We noticed two more hot spots, and she had a ear infection when we took her to the vet. So we are going to see if this helps. We are making slow progress on the her nails, but it is progress. She did have a couple of accidents in the house, but we think that she is house broken now. We will start leaving her alone for short periods of time this week. Trying to avoid any separation anxiety. As soon as I can get a picture of her sleeping, I will have to forward it to you. You will laugh, she sleeps on two quilts, has her head on a doggy pillow, and is covered by an afghan. Things have changed.

Scooby

11/28/09: He did enjoy his first Thanksgiving indoors. (I didn't find any dropped food on the floor at the end of the day so I thnk he did take care of floor cleaning duty) He came downstairs with me propmtly at 6:00AM to begin cooking and after a play time in the yard lay at my feet as I prepared the fixin's all morning. He slept under the table while we ate dinner and did lots of sniffing near the counters and stove. Scooby acts so good inside. I thinks he believes he has won the doggie lottery. He loves to roam around in the yard with Dave and is so far trustable to stay within eye sight and come back soon after called. We absolutely love him. 11/30/09: Well Scooby continues to prove what a good boy he is. Today he was all alone all day (for the first time), not crated either and made no messes. He did not get into any trouble. He sure was happy to see us when we got home from work. He had his romp outside for a while with Dave and after dinner and some play time with his favorite toy has settled down again at our feet hoping for extra belly rubs. Thanks to Haven to Home for making such a nice connection for us.
