Update on puppy Macy Clementine (formerly Gracie)


Justin said you wanted to see some pictures of Gracie...we actually changed her name but it is still close to Gracie! Her name is Macy Clementine and we call her Macy and she already knows that it is her name and almost always comes when we call her.
 


 
Justin taught her how to sit but she wont do it for anybody else yet. She is settling in great and loves her backyard and visiting her baby cousins. She loves her kennel and only cries for a minute at nighttime and then goes right to sleep. Macy hates the rain!! When we go outside in the rain or if she steps in a puddle she cries and cries to be picked up and tries to hide under us. She loves to play with her toys and chew on everything especially my hands and feet but Justin is training her not to chew on people and she is already doing lots better.


Macy is getting pretty good at housetraining. We spend most of the day in the mornings and after work outside with her and she has so much fun that she forgets to go until we are back inside. Then she tries to go in the house but I just grab her quick and go right back outside before she can. 
I think she is really understanding because she has started to run to the door and cry a little after she eats or drinks. She still doesnt like her collar at all and when she has a leash on she refuses to walk and just sits down and chews on it. 
Without a leash she walks right next to us though so I think when she is a little bigger she will catch on to the leash pretty quick.
Overall everything is going great! She is smart and playful and so cute and our sweet tiny girl and we LOVE HER!

Pirate and his new friend Dandy!

Thought you might like to see a picture of Pirate aka Snowball.  Things are
going well w/him - still extremely hyper. He is with our Siberian Huskey,
"Dandy".  They do well together.  We are enjoying them both - Pirate is a
special dog. :)

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 :) "
