Hi Barbie & Tim,
Just thought you might enjoy an update on Allie. We love her to death. She goes everywhere and does everything with us. You did such an amazing job getting her off to the right start & have made our lives so much easier. I continue to reinforce everything that you taught her & am having a blast teaching her new things. She’s got the “wave” & rolling over down. We continue to work on “wait”, but I think that I’m most of the problem with that one. Now we’re working on giving presents (taking & dropping a gift bag for someone), resting, going to sleep, peek-a-boo, & playing baseball (she picks up a ball & trots to 4 pieces of paper representing the bases). Fetching the ball & general cuddling continue to be her favorite pasttimes, though.
She was really the puppy for us. You’re right about her having a strong opinion at times, but we love her all the more for it. She continues to have a real personality & makes us laugh constantly. Even her veterinarian & the staff at the Dr’s. office beg us to bring her by occasionally so they can watch her grow & perform.
We took her on her first boating trip a couple of weeks ago to Catalina Island. She had so much fun! I’ve attached a few photos from that weekend.
I hope that all is well with you & your very large “family”. Have a great holiday season. I’ll send you an occasional update.
All the best,
Sue Vermeeren
