Charlie

Just a quick note with a few pictures to let you know how much we love Charlie! He's fitting into our family just wonderfully. He's had his last set of shots and is as fit as a fiddle. He loves going for walks and is doing very well on the leash and harness. HeÕs learning to walk with a loose leash.Ê HeÕs starting to figure out that if he stands by the backdoor, weÕll let him out to go to the bathroom, so thatÕs getting better.Ê He likes his crate and goes in there on his own when heÕs tired.Ê ÊHe loves tearing around the back yard and playing in water puddles.Ê He enjoys getting a bath so we usually bathe him at least once a week, occasionally more if heÕs gotten really muddy or rolled on something too smelly !

Charlie is enrolled in puppy training classes once a week and is probably the smartest dog there! Our youngest son has taken on the role of lead trainer for the family and teaches us how to do the training with Charlie so we are consistent when we ask him to do something.

I just wanted you to know that he's thriving and we are thrilled to have him. He's a real gem and we couldn't have asked for a better family pet.

God bless you and your work.
