Mirnan

Murphy is doing great! He is loved completely, gets along wonderully with our other dogs. He has competed in several fair competitions-- agililty and obedience and has many ribbons-- several 1sts though 6th. We are thrilled that his timidness has been resolved-- he is trusting and very loving. We couldn't be happier!

Molly

Molly is, of course, an absolute delight. Very healthy, except for some fatty masses. She has slimmed down and gets plenty of exercise. She walks well on a leash and we take her for walks every day. As you may recall, we wondered about the length of walk she could handle. Well, she does 3 miles with ease now. If she is becomes overheated while walking, she will simply stop and lie down- not in physical distress, she is just letting us know. This has only happened twice, as Annie and I are easily trainable. > Annie had been working with her with the ball. At first, it would bounce off her head. Now, she can easily catch or retrieve it. She does not yet always return the ball, however. > She can be in the yard without the leash, altho we have to watch her closely. But she now listens to commands and will stop, if she starts to run after another dog. She also still barks at other dogs outside, if she is inside. But we are working on both of these. > She is a very loving dog, and well-loved in return. Annie is her alpha dog, of course, and Molly tracks what she is doing very closely. She is not left alone for any length of time, although she has not shown any signs of anxiety from being alone, other than sadness. > Annie asks me to tell you that she has been thinking of you often and would like to visit this fall, perhaps on the way to Ann Arbor.
