Dear Alicia,
How are you? I hope all is well!
I just wanted to let you know how Keva is doing. It has been a month (already!) and he is growing in leaps and bounds. I weighed him this morning, and he weighs 31 pounds! We are taking Keva to puppy training classes with Melissa at Pawsitively Perfect Pooches in Santa Monica, she believes in positive feedback, and has already had a Golden from Golden Meadows in one of her classes, that she says is just a terrific pup. Keva is doing great in his classes and we practice at home with him at least twice a day. We are going back up to Lake Tahoe today for a long last weekend before my son goes back to school so it will be fun to see how Keva reacts to the lake. I have been filling a wading pool with water every day in the backyard to get him used to water ( on a much smaller scale!) so we’ll see how he does.
Keva is settling in, the house and backyard are definitely “his” now. He races around the backyard playing with his toys, and jumping in and out of his pool while barking at the squirrels at the bird feeder. we have had a few puppy play dates with neighbor dogs and he loves playing with them in the backyard. He is such a wonderful pup, he is bright and curious, but at the same time is very calm. He just sat in my lap and observed several dogs barking and being wound up at the vets office last week. Our vet has nicknamed him “Mr Perfect Puppy” and says we could not have gotten a better looking and behaving pup.
Best,
Lisa
