Lisa,

Here's another update on Tommie.  She climbs or jumps on our backs when we are doing push-ups and is able to stay on our back the whole time, through all of the ups and downs.  She loved her snuggle puppy from the first, so I ordered her another one that is black and white.  That heartbeat thing and heater is an awesome invention.  Some people stopped us in a parking lot today to come to the truck to see her, and another car of little old ladies yelled at us from their car at a red light to compliment us on her.  She is the most popular puppy in Bangor, I think.

HAPPY????  We are thrilled!  She is such a good girl.  She has discovered that she can leap into the air and turn a 360.  It is hysterical.  She has also figured out that she can stop on a dime from a full gallop.  She likes to show off.  It’s sweet to see her gain her confidence, but I know better than to trust her inquisitive nose too much.  She has also started the collecting of babies and moving them all from one location to another.  I forgot they did that.  It’s funny that all babies are together in one room.  There are very few stragglers.  I hope to take some more pictures of her tomorrow.  I think I am going to have to give her a little trim.  She’s getting a little fuzzy.  And, her feathers are starting to show.  She is really a beauty.  Todd’s parents can’t get over how pretty she is; most people can’t.  I just say, “I know!”.  Her breeder knew what she was doing.
