Hello all,
Yesterday our family adopted Buster the Rottweiler from LAWS and happily took him home. We called the LAWS office before 4 p.m. to let everyone know he was doing well. Here is the update since yesterday afternoon: Buster is very intelligent and learning new commands quite quickly and eagerly (especially with the help of treats). Buster and Teddy, our other very old Rottweiler, are getting along well which we think will make Teddy's last days happier. Teddy is showing Buster the ropes around the house and it's wonderful to see them both so happy. Thank you so much for adopting Buster out to us and we will definitely keep you updated on his progress.

Hello,
We adopted Grace the 2-year old beagle and wanted to let you guys know that she is doing very well. She wasn't sure about car rides but is getting better. She is a very good dog. She likes to jump on counters where the food is, but we are teaching her that she can't jump on the counters. My mom was the one who adopted her but she is my dog. I'm Natasha and I'm so happy to have Grace in my life and in our house. She loves my guinea pigs. If they are placed in another room she goes looking for them. Her and my father go for a long walk at night. She's very good. We are extremely lucky to have her in our family.

Thank you,
Natasha


Calvin says hello,
Calvin is settling so well at his new home. He is so friendly and has not been hiding at all. So nice - even when our 3 ½- ear old grandson came to visit yesterday, Calvin went right up to him and pushed his head against Jackson's leg to be petted. We are having a little difficulty getting to sleep at night as Calvin likes to share our pillows. He is quite a large cat - bigger than the one we had before. We both think we made the right choice in picking Calvin or letting him pick us!! Thank you. I know we are going to enjoy our new pet.

Hi!

I thought you may want a short update on Toby. He is quickly learning his way around the house and property, his boundaries and his special spots just for him. He is getting adjusted to a routine and training. I am finding the clicker training quite helpful (as shown to me by Doggie Styles). He is such as sweetheart and eager to please and learn. He loves to be brushed and have his belly rubbed. Our parents' Golden Retriever, Sam, and him are best friends. Sam is teaching Toby how to obey and come when he is called, and Toby is teaching Sam to relax and go with the flow. I will send another update soon, with a picture of Toby in his new home.

Cheers,
Sarah
