Thor January 15, 2012 From: Thor Re: Me and My Daddy Hi my name is Thor and my Daddy (Chuck) adopted me just recently and he has given me a wonderful, great, new, happy, clean, nice and warm new home. I love my Daddy and I can tell he loves me sooo very much, he shows me every day first thing in the very early moming he takes me for a long walk in the large park across from my new home here in the country. I do my duty and my Daddy even picks up ater me when I am done. I have been cold but we have a nice clean warm home, its never cold here next to my Daddy. I do have my own bed but my Daddy warts me to sleep with him and next to him so I do and love being close to him all night long. After our walk we play with my toys inside and I have my own comfortable chair where I sit on top and look out all the big windows we have and get to watch the big wild ducks and the squirrels and all the birds outside. As I look out my windows my Daddy likes to sing with me so I give him good tune everyday. I get all proper food and water and meds I need. He just bought me a new collar and more toys. I like to ride in his truck when we go somewhere and I am always a good boy when we ride somewhere together. My life is so happy and I love to make my Daddy happy he tells me that all the time. He calls me his Little Buddy and told me I am the best thing that ever happened to him. Thank you Saint Francis for sending me my Daddy and I know he thanks you every day. When it gets warm we have lots of exercise and things we can do outside on his soon to be enclosed new deck and yard. Life is good for me, I hope all my friends at Haven to Home can soon be happy and loved as I have found. Sincerely; Thor and My Daddy: Chuck
Tippy Doo Ellie (Tippy Doo) is settling in here great! From the minute she got here, she's been such a good girl. She really is the perfect dog for us! Our two-year-old, Charley, just loves her. The first day, Charley really put Ellie to the test in terms of how much pestering she could take -- Ellie was so tolerant. Charley is starting to back off a bit now that she's been here a few days. We also had a lot of company over on Saturday afternoon, and Ellie didn't seem to mind. She's really a very mellow, flexible dog. In the mornings, I've taken Ellie up the mountain for a hike (about 60-90 minutes). We've been wearing our safety orange -- we each have a vest. She's great on leash -- once we get going, she hardly pulls at all. She doesn't get overly excited, but she seems to like to explore and sniff. We're training her on the invisible fence. No shocks, just beeps. She seems to have had experience with one, because she's really aware of it. We're working on getting her comfortable in the whole yard, so that she learns she can run and play in the whole area. Attached are two pictures of Ellie in her favorite spot -- the couch. It's all hers! Chris has his chair, and I use the loveseat, so she gets the big couch! We couldn't be happier with her! Thank you so much!
Toby 12/5/11: Hello Cindy & Sharon! I just wanted to forward the following pictures of Toby (white) and Sophie in their new winter sweaters. Both were shivering so bad on our walk yesterday that I decided to have "Santa Paws" come early this year :) Sophie was used to wearing a sweater, but I was surprised that Toby not only let me put it on, but made himself quite comfortable in it. He was almost prancing on his walk, holding his head high! So far both dogs are getting along. Sophie has taken to Toby's feeding schedule and is now willingly going into her crate like Toby! Toby is walking perfectly on a leash and hasn't had one accident. He is still running away at the word "come" (I jokingly call him Brave Sir Robin from the character in Monty Python and the Holy Grail), but he has "sit" down pat and usually I can get him to sit, then approach him. And the best news of all. . . .yesterday Sophie and Toby played chase together! It was so awesome to see them playing together :) My heart just melted We couldn't be happier with Toby in our family. Thanks again to both of you for making this possible for us! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year. I will continue to send updates!
