Dear Kristi and Chad,
So sorry we haven't written or sent pictures since Simba came to live with us. It's been a hectic, but wonderful adjustment having a "toddler" after so many years. Simba is a busy, sweet, and very smart puppy. Her potty training is pretty well completed except for the occasional accident when the weather (high winds) keeps her in. She hates the winds we've gotten this Spring.
Other training is going pretty well: she sits, stays, and heels on the leash most of the time. Off the furniture is our newest challenge; she suddenly decided the sofa is hers. She'll obey "off," but when we're not looking, she'll dash back on. Very puppy-ish. We love her personality as does everyone who meets her. She's a fun dog. I am attaching a few snapshots. My camera didn't capture the active, fun shots. It also missed her standing on a little footstool (all 4 feet planted like a trained seal). She's grown so much it's getting hard for her to do that now. You can see by her pictures that she is much taller and she weighs about 12-13 pounds at 4 months. How does that compare with her litter mates?
All in all, this is a successful adoption. Thank you for providing a healthy, well-adjusted addition to our family.
Best regards,
Flora Mason
