Coot - Update

Coot (Cindy and Grant - Fairfax , VA)

July 10, 2011 - Our trip home last night went well.  Coot was nervous and noisy for the first 30 minutes, but then she laid down and it was smooth sailing.  When we got home, she confidently explored, ate, drank, played, and cuddled with us.  She has been surprisingly good about going into her kennel on her own.  At 3AM she gave Grant a signal; he took her out; and, she did a #2.  He was shocked.  This morning, she was a little energizer bunny!  Now, she is all tuckered out and catching some zzzs at Grant's feet (see attached photo).  All of the love and care that Coot received from your family shows!  We cannot thank you enough.

September 5, 2011 - Attached are a couple of long overdue photos of Coot.  I thought Amy would enjoy seeing that she still loves sleeping in odd poses.  As you can see, she is a big, beautiful dog.  We think she looks like Stormy.  She loves strangers, children, other dogs, and insects.  She has mastered "sit."  She is pretty good at "down."  And we are just getting started (not a moment too soon) on "drop."  We are still planning to do the formal training in November or December, and we will let you know how that goes.
