Tundra |
Tundra is doing soooo good! When we first got him he hardly did stairs, and when he did he plowed through them like a freightliner. We have him on the same food, and started him on the glucosamide supplements, and that combined with regular exercise the vet said he has lost 10 pounds (that was about a month ago, I am sure he has toned down more since!!). He does stairs with ease now, and has sooooo much energy. He jumps up on our huge king sized bed with no problem, although we don't let him stay up there, it was quite the accomplishment! His favorite toys are rope toys and he flings them around and pounces on them like crazy. Him and Baylie outside together are quite a riot, they run circles around the yard all the time and play pounce at each other. They have gotten along sooo great, they often will go up to one another and lick the other on the nose, it is so cute. We couldn't imagine our life without him. After having his breed we would definitely not hesitate to get another elkhound again. He has fit in so well, and has quite the personality. I could however do without the craaazy shedding that has been going on. I spend roughly 45 mins. each day brushing him and pulling loose hair off him. We have made him a doggie spa appointment on Tuesday where they do something special to pull away all the loose hair (Tyler calls it rotor-raking, hahaha) so we will see how that goes. At first I was freaking out with all the hair in the house, now I have become used to it and it seems like nothing to have a huge ball of hair attached to my sock, or in my water glass... it's now just second nature. :) Attached is a picture of Tundra with his new sister Baylie! Thanks,Amy

QTip (now Bubba) |
How can we thank you for matching us up with a dog so perfect for us? We cannot believe how sweet and intelligent this little guy is. It's very obvious he once had a home where he was well trained because he knows so much already - all he needs is a little reminding of some of the rules. The only slightly poor manners he has shown so far was a nice long cool drink from the toilet - I guess he felt he needed to make sure we know he is a dog and not a person! He's a very funny boy and will play ball for hours if he can. He "sits" with the right motivation, "comes" when he's called and never has accidents in the house. He's already learned that it's ok to go up on the couch but nowhere else and he LOVES a ride in the car! Taking him to PetSmart was like taking him to Disneyland - we all had fun and he's very popular with other customers and other dogs. He's so sociable and friendly - everyone so far is very taken with his charm. Mary, we're looking forward to a long good life with our new adopted son. Thank you again for placing that ad at exactly the right time for us to find the dog of our dreams. Sharon & John

Cuda |
Cuda really doesn't like to have his picture taken. Last week my niece was out photographing my daughter for her Grad pics and took this one of him without him knowing! He is quite proud. He has become rather protective of our property and I have to watch him when strangers arrive. Once we have accepted them he is fine as well. He even chases strange dogs off the yard, but won't fight with them or follow them. Yes, the boy is growing up!! |

Hello, |
Buddy and Copper |
Just wanted to send you a quick note about Buddy and Copper. Both our girls came from NASAP. We got Buddy in September of 2004. Copper came to us in October 2007. Copper is a typical Jack Russell... dominant. She's been getting some training, and is learning her manners. Buddy is a submissive dog, so is a good match for Copper. Both dogs are loved and enjoyed. You folks do great work....thanks for all your efforts :)

Hi Mary |
Gemmie (formerly Sandy) |
Hi there, I thought you might like an update on how this little one is doing. I’ve attached some photos in case you would like to post a new one! Gemmie is doing extremely well – she’s fit right into her new home and with her new big brother Merlin. We’ve both completely lost our hearts to this little one. She has a very loving, cuddly, and playful nature (which Merlin adores!). I’ve had so many smiles and laughs already in the few short weeks that Gemmie has been a part of our family. Gemmie has decided that she really likes going on walks (the fresh snow was so exciting for her this week!) and loves to try to keep up to Merlin to bite his beard as he walks. She’s also decided that the best place to be after she’s tired of walking is in my nice warm coat… !! Gemmie has also decided that her new big brother is very dirty – she’s forever trying to clean/straighten up his paws and his beard (very sweet to watch – he loves the attention!). They are also priceless to watch playing with toys – I think Merlin has met his match of wits with Gemmie… greedy Merlin loves to steal the toys Gemmie is playing with, but she’s figured out that if he does, she will pretend to be really interested in a different toy, and as soon as Merlin decides he wants that one instead, she’ll circle back and take the first toy back! Poor Merlin hasn’t figured out yet what’s really going on... J I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful work that you and your foster families do. I’m so happy we adopted Gemmie – she’s injected a lot of joy and sparkle into our lives - she’s truly a priceless gem!! Leslie

Noella |
Noella has been with me for 2 and 1/2 weeks now. She enjoys Kobi, often play fighting and tugging toys with him. She received a good bill of health from the vet and I received advise on housetraining. Noella is paper trained and loves to go outside with Kobi. She has met my children's dogs, and after some fear, she has started to play with them. Her favorite place is being held and petted, and that is my favorite place for her, too. Kobi and Noella get their mush session on their love seat while I have my coffee. Thank-you to all involved in her care. |
