So you must be on my wave length because I was going to email you this morning. He is doing great, we have an appointment to see the vet today to get his 3rd set of puppy shots, and to have my vet meet him. He is getting along great with Romeo (my 2 year old) they play all the time, I do think he is a alpha dog because he will challenge Romero all the time, Romero is great with him and will sometimes let the puppy win the game. We have renamed him Lucky, because we feel he is, and he likes the name and even answers to it.

He is exploring the large backyard with Romero's help however we go out with him because we have a koi pond and I don't want him to "swim with the fishes" We have never had a dog have a problem with the pond but I like to be there just incase. We also have a pool but it has a cover on it that you can walk on and the dogs are not out there when we are swimming.

He has settled in to coming with me to work everyday and everyone here loves him. He is in my office and I have a bed (it is really the cat bed, but the cat hates it) so he sleeps under my desk and I can take him for walks when I can get the leash from my employees.

I think he is very happy and eats well plays well and we are working on the house training he sees Romero go outside and he wants to be there to go also.He is very smart and is learning quickly. WE just love him. My daughter is also learning about puppy teeth. I have given him chew toys and he lots of stuffed babies to play with. Right this minute he is sleeping. And we are so happy that he is part of our family.

I hope that his mom has as good a home and is just as happy. Thanks so much for letting him be part of our family.

Barb here:

Just wanted you to know that Holden/Lucky is doing great and loves his big brother Romeo, they play together all the time. We have had all his shots that he needs. And just want to thank you again for the wonderful dog. He is great. Still working on the potty training. Keep a good thought.

Just thought I would give you an update on Holden (now Lucky).

He is great but a little bit of a terror. He loves his beagle brother and they spend a good deal of the day outside tearing up as much as they can. He has gotten so big however after having him groomed, my groomer said that she thinks he may have Jack Russell in him and I can see that. His favorite new trick it to push the rolling chair from the dining room over into the kitchen and jump on the back of the chair and up to the island in the kitchen to see if there is anything to get into. He is quite a love though and has finally understood that cuddling is a good thing and loves to sit on my lap and watch TV, the only problem is his big brother likes to do that also and my lap is just not big enough. He is a very happy dog and we love having him in our family. Thank you so much.
