Hi Alicia,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know Axel has been home for a week now! He’s already part of the family. The best puppy I’ve ever owned!! He’s so sweet and gentle. Even Sylvester, our cat likes him. (Although he won’t admit it) He made quite the impression at the security checkpoint in Burbank. The TSA agents and total strangers asked if they could pet him. Axel had quite a following. Even the Southwest flight attendant brought me water for him during the flight. She mentioned that he’s not suppose to come out of his carrier, but she would look the other way if I wanted to give him some water!
We’ve been doing great on the training sessions. I took him to PetsSmart a few days ago and the trainer on site came out to talk to me. He couldn’t believe how well Axel walked with his leash. Always staying on my left side and not getting ahead of me. We take walks every morning before work and he gets so excited when I pull out the leash! I took him to the office for a few hours last Monday. Nobody got any work done as you can imagine. The crate has been a breeze too. Still working on the potty training . . . but I think we’re almost there!
Here’s a picture of him with the toy you sent home with us. His first vet appointment is tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
Thanks again for everything! We love him very much!!
Sharyn
