Spencer

Hi Anne, I thought that I would send you a little update on our sweet Spencer. Life with Spencer has been full of laughs, lots of doggie cuddles, and time spent playing with our new family member in the backyard. Not only have we gained a new family member, but my kiddos have also gained a new best friend. Spencer is the last one they want to see before going to bed, and the first one they want to love on in the morning. The kids have taught Spencer how to play fetch and they are now working on teaching him how to play soccer…I guess anything is possible. Their favorite thing to do with Spencer though is to give him belly rubs. I think it might be one of Spencer’s favorite things too. If Spencer isn’t inside taking a nap you can find him out in our backyard, nose to the ground, searching for a new critter. In the three short months he has been here, Spencer has learned about cats, squirrels, moles, and baby skunks (luckily for us the skunk was too young to spray). He really gets to put his Hound skills to the test around here. We truly love Spencer, and I want to thank you for allowing him to become a part of our family. Spencer has brought so much joy and happiness to us all. All My Best, Karen Hull

Scooter

Second Update: Scooter is AWESOME!! He graduated from Beginner Obedience last Thursday with honors! In fact, he was the only dog out of 5 to graduate. It was obvious the others only worked with their furbabies on class nights. We worked 3-4 times a week with our Scooter Bug. I attached a few pics from Graduation. Look how intently he watches Liz. We are going to enroll him in the intermediate class but not until the first of the year. Liz will work with him at that level as well. I have done obedience with all my babies over the years. Liz had never worked with a dog in obedience so I insisted she take the class with Scooter. He is the sweetest, most loveable little boy and we are so very blessed to have him as part of our family. Thank you again. Cathi and Liz Original Update: Scooter bug is doing awesome. He is such a love and has his paws wrapped around our hearts already. Angel ignores him. She's always thought she was an only child even when I had 5 dogs. Princess (the wiener girl) says okay you can stay. Tito (the 18 yo cat) says, "Oh geez, another dog." And Salem (the 9 yo cat) says, "I have concealed weapons and I know how to use them." All in all the first 3 days have been great. We are so blessed to have another little boy in our family. Thank you BRAT for entrusting this precious boy to us. Cathi & Liz
