Update on Moose (formerly known as Tank)

I just wanted to let you know that Moose (we changed his name to match how graceful he is haha) was neutered and microchiped yesterday by Dr. Heartsill at Downtown Animal Hospital. He also now has all of his shots.

He is doing great. We made our first long car trip with him last weekend (10 hours each way), stayed in a hotel, and at my parents house where he got to play with my parent’s dog all weekend. He was a very well behaved boy.

He and Wiggles are doing well. Moose will even sit and watch Wiggles eat his dog food, he is very good at sharing. Although they are still getting used to each other and I am trying to discourage both of them from chasing the other.

We started obedience classes with Elta Woodliff about a month ago and he has so much fun. He has learned sit, lay down, roll over, stay (sometimes, we’re still working on that one), and leave it.

Let me know if you need a receipt for the neuter or a note from the vet.

Thanks for the great puppy!!

Update on Noel!

Hi!
Katelyn thought you might want to see how Noel is doing. She has stopped eating my plants - so that is good - but we are still working on her digging. Other than that, she is a doll and we love her.

Mae & Rachel - "We're doing great!"

We're doing great! I love her so much and can't imagine life without her. We went to the beach today, her favorite place (she has no idea what to think about seaweed). It's starting to get warm out up here (finally) and I can't wait to take her with me on more adventures.
She's such a good girl, surprisingly well behaved. We only did one private training class and I've continued what we learned. She's very smart. I take her almost everywhere I go and she stays right with me. Everyone says she's a "mama's girl." Due to that, I haven't been able to leave her home alone. She freaks out when I leave her alone. So she goes to doggy daycare when I work, and I'm moving to a bigger place at the end of the month where she can have more space and there won't be neighbors to hear her barks. The crate really distresses her, so I don't want to use it.
I'm so grateful to have Mae, she has definitely changed my life for the better. I thank you so much down there for saving her for me. It makes me tear up when I think about what you all did for her. I love her so much.

Thank you!

Update on Mae

"We're doing great! I absolutely love her and she's quickly getting comfortable with me. She's nervous on walks when we walk past other people on sidewalks but she is already getting better with that and also she loves the snow (which is great because we have plenty!) I set up a private training class for her Thursday night. I think a group class might be too distracting for her at first. I'm loving getting to know her. She's amazing :) "

Update on Tyler

"Not to worry Tyler fits in with New Hampshire. He likes the snow even during a blizzard. Pray all is well."

"She chose us"

After recently loosing our dear "Furry Family Member", I knew our hearts were ready for a new dog. I started looking on the internet for what I thought might be the best fit for our family. I came across a face that I just knew I could love-"Brownie". I made the call to "Dogs 2nd Chance" and took the family to one of their adoption days. "Brownie " just warmed our hearts. My two kids pleaded, "Daddy can we take her home?" Well, that was it, our new Pet Kid.

She has been perfect from day one. She is completely house trained, plays with the kids outside, sleeps in her bed through the night, doesn't chew-up anything she's not supposed to, and is an excellent walker. I told my husband, "she must have had a session with the Dog Whisper."

We look forward to her living out happy days with our family. I believe that a dog chooses "you" , and the love of a rescued dog is like no other,.

Thank you Dogs 2nd Chance,
