Remi is doing great. It's like she"s been part of the family for years. We had a great trip....long but good weather. Her favorite spot is in front of the fireplace (pic enclosed). Thanks for everything! Mike and Lisa

12/26 Debbie, she is such a sweetheart! She is sleeping on her new bed. She loves to lay in front of the fireplace. It's like she's been a part of the family for years. She is a perfect fit for our family.

1/11/11 - Debbie,
She is doing great and she is a little cutie.  We started around new years to extend our stay away from her to try and get her comfortable with us leaving.  We wanted to make sure she knew we were coming back.  We had a few mishaps but all in all she did very good.  We can really see her personality coming out this past week.  She likes to play and has settled in with our morning/evening routine.  She knows the rules of who's bed she can sleep in and where she can't go.  I personally don't need the leash to take her out.  She listens very good.  We took her to the vet about 1 1/2 weeks ago to baseline her and take tests for the heartworm.  She had a clean bill of health except she needed the last heartworm treatment to kill eggs and larvae.  She received that treatment yesterday.  We will be taking x-rays for her hips and clean her teeth sometime in the spring.  The vet wanted to make sure we concentrate on the heartworm first.
We couldn't have asked for a better dog.  She fits our life style perfectly.  She gets so much love and affection, and she eats it up.  She loves to come over and get her nose under your hand and give it a flip when she wants love.  She makes us laugh.  She loves the fireplace.  I took her to our cabin about a week ago.  She loved it.  She is quite the scrounger.  You can't leave anything out or she will be into it.
She tried getting into a brand new coffee can the other day. I guess she likes coffee like Lisa & I.
Mike and Lisa
