Chloe

I just wanted to give you an update on Chloe (Polly). ÊShe is doing great here and I think she likes it quite well. ÊShe sleeps with my oldest daughter every night under her covers. ÊShe is the sweetest dog, and she is so gentle with the kids. ÊShe gets lots of exercise and has made friends with our Bichon, Sophie. ÊThey are best pals, and most afternoons you can find them napping on the chaise lounge in the living room. ÊChloe was a butterball when she came to live with us but she has trimmed down to a healthier weight. ÊI just wanted to let you know how she was doing. ÊWe sure love our Chloe. Ê

Thanks,
Cara

His favorite part of the day is an early morning walk. He is up to a mile! He has mastered the leash and walks along side his sister, Gypsey. His limp is gone. He will swim in the pool as long as we are in it with him and loves a small ball. His favorite toy just may be our cat, Valentino. They run through house rolling over each other.
Thank you for caring about the lost and the helpless.

Maddie

Just wanted to send you a note and let you know how well Maddie is doing and how much we love having her. She shows us every day what a great decision it was to adopt her and it's hard to believe she's only been with us for few months. She is such a sweet, good girl!

She likes being in the backyard where she can roll in the grass and keep a close eye on the comings and goings of the neighborhood squirrel population. I think she still has hope that she'll get one someday! Maddie still loves her tennis ball and seems to prefer softer/plushy toys, so her most recent and now favorite acquisition is a fuzzy lamb with a squeaker in it. She's generous though and it's always her first choice when offering a toy to us for playtime.

We try to take her with us as often as we can on errands in the neighborhood and anywhere else we go that's dog-friendly. She is so well behaved and good with other dogs, new people and new situations. A total charmer. :)

Hope all is well and that many more dogs are finding great new homes.

Cadi

Just wanted you to know that ÒCadiÓ is terrific! Such a sweetheart. She got a thumbs-up from Katy Trail Vets (they dressed her in the 4th of July collar for her photo). She enjoys going to the dog park behind Westminster Presby church and we have had a couple of sit, stay, come lessons from Karen Stark so we are working on that. She seems content Ð think we have an excellent match! Hope all is wellÉ.Rue

Barnaby

We have had Barnaby for almost 4 days now and he is the sweetest little boy ever. He has brightened our household and he insists on being involved in everything that is going on. He also keeps a watch on the neighborhood through the glass door in the front of the house. He lets us know if anyone passes by. He also greets any visitors with tail wag an welcoming excitement. I think he truly feels that he is home.

Here is a picture of him laying on his couch next to my desk in my office and one laying on the floor in my office.

HOOCH

I thought I would give you an update on "Hooch," whose new name is Porter. We adopted him at the end of February, so he has been with us about four months now & he is fitting in wonderfully! At first he was obsessed with wanting to chase our cat, which had us a bit worried, but now that he is getting used to her & realizing that she is part of the family - QUEEN of the family, actually - he resists the urge...for the most part! I don't think he had ever seen a cat before, so it was a bit of an adjustment for all of us. We are glad we stuck with him, though, because he is so much fun! His favorite pastime is playing fetch. I think he would literally play until he fell over dead if we would let him! We also discovered the he loves water. When he drinks, he puts his paws in the bowl!. Then he sloshes it out & lays right in the mess! Luckily, he only does this when he's outside. He has better manners indoors! And he is such a love bug. Getting neck & butt rubs are his
favorite thing! Overall, we really love him & we are so glad we brought him into our home. Thank you!

P.S. Here are some pictures of Porter (& our other dog, Tucker).

Note from Metroplex Mutts. It took our Hooch a year to find his forever home. He was adopted by a great family in May and lost his home due to divorce. Then he was in a foster to adopt home and a family member turned out to be allergic to him. The third time is the charm! They have successfully weaned him off of pheoabarbitol for seizures he had in he past and he has not had a single seizure.
