SADIE
Here is a quick update on Sadie:
She had a good check-up at the Vet. She is 44 pounds. Her skin looked good so the doctor felt like we can watch to see if she would require any additional medication for the mange. She was a great patient and never made a noise when they did the exam. We had her tested for heartworm's, lime, etc. and the results came back negative. We got her started on the heartworm and flea preventative med's. I also had them place an identity chip on her so if for any reason she got out or someone took her they would be able to identify her no matter where she is and bring her home.
We take them on walks in the evening. Sadie does very well on a leash. I can't wait to take her to the beach and see how she likes to run in the sand. The pool has been a large drinking bowl for now. She has not gotten in on her own. We were swimming this weekend and carried her in to show her the steps. She swam ok but once she got out she was not sure if she understood how to get back in.
She loves to have Riesling over to play. I think because they are so close in age (2 months apart) they have a blast with each other. Atlantis watches them and will get in on the action as well, but at 10 she is not as feisty as the little ones. We crack up laughing watching them all run around chasing each other.
We had gotten a crate for her and used it for the first couple of days until she felt secure with her new surroundings. She has done so well we now just leave the door open. Since I am home all day and she sleeps with us at night we have not had to use it. I have even left her out of the crate when I had to run an errand and she did fine. I came home and she was up on the bed taking a nap.
She has done amazingly well meeting new people. At first she was very timid. We have taken her out with us (store, friends houses) and she just loves the attention. The owner of the pet store gives her light string cheese and she will do lots of tricks for that!
We know how much she meant to you and wanted to tell you again how blessed we feel to have her as part of our family. She has been a perfect lady. I will try to keep sending pictures as she gets to experience new things.
Thank you so much !

BLACKJACK

Dear Cindy,
I'm not sure if you remember us or not but my husband and I adopted Blackjack from you on July 2, 2000 at six months old. We came from St. Augustine and fell in love ! Just wanted to let you know we have found one great dog ! He turned 2 years old on November 26, 2001. He is inside and outside (our house is completely fenced in) and he loves it here on the East Coast ! We have some friends who live in Merritt Island on a canal and he loves to jump in and swim when we visit ! He also loves to go out in the boat. Thank You so much ! ! We wanted to drop you a line and tell you we still have him and have changed his name to Ace. It seems to fit his personality better. He is one crazy and happy dog ! We are enclosing a couple of pictures to let you see how he is doing and how beautiful he is. Up to 70 pounds and is absolutely gorgeous ! ! On heartworm prevention and flea control once a month. Very protective of me. Anyway, I hope you remember him and enjoy the pictures. Feel free to add to your website if you wish. (Hope you do so everyone can see how happy he is ! !)
Sincerely,
Bonnie and Randy Layfield

DAISY
Hello !
My name is Kristina and we rescued a Beagle/Jack Russell mix puppy from you in August of 2000. She was 8 wks old at the time and I thought you would like an update as to how she is doing. She is now 1 1/2 yrs old and the most adorable, high energy dog. We named her Daisy but her nickname is JackRabbit because she is so hyper. She and my Beagle get along wonderful. They are inseperable. She is also a very smart dog. She has learned several tricks. Her favorite thing to do is sunbathe in the back yard and to dig holes under the fence to give her boyfriend next door a kiss (he is a pure Jack Russell Terrier) LOL Just thought I would share. Here are some pictures....Thanks for the work you do!!

LITTLE BEAR
Hi Cindy,
Thought I'd send you and update and a picture of Little Bear (Turnpike). He is now about a year old (we gave him a birthday of 10/25/00). He is about 65 lbs and about 26 in high (at the shoulder). He can easily walk up to a table and put his chin on it, so we have to contantly watch him when there is food on the table. He stalks and then "points" and chases squirrels and lizards and he constantly retrieves things (my shoes, slippers, stuffed animals, anything) within his reach he wants to pick up. Oh yeah, he is the first dog I ever saw that picked his toenails.
Sure would love to know what breeds he is made of. Of course he looks like a black Lab in color (he has some black and white brindle on his chest) but he doesn't have the Lab body. His body is more like a Pointer or Dalmation. I checked some books out of the library and found a dog encyclopedia that had a Plott Hound pictured in it. They are an old breed with ancestors from Germany. He looks just like the picture. Plott Hounds and some ancestors of the Lab are suppose to have web feet. Little Bear has web feet. We took him to a Plott Hound owner and breeder in NC and he said Little Bear could have some Plott Hound in him. Have you heard of anybody in your area having Plott Hounds ? They were bred to hunt Bears and Mountain Lions, but more recently used as a Coon Hound.
Wish he could talk so we'd know where he came from and how he got at the service plaza. Will always wonder if someone put him out or he jumped out of a vehicle or if he actually lived within a few miles of the plaza and ran away and got lost.
Would love to hear from you when you get a chance. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
Sandy Oliver
