Marty

He’s adjusted to his daily routine and has not been barking at night/in the morning since we gave him full range of the apartment at night. We leave his crate door open and he is almost always snoozing comfortably in there when Dana gets up in the morning to let him out. He gets along great with other dogs and charms everyone he meets. We have gotten countless offers to take care of him if we ever need it, haha. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know we have continued to enjoy his company and couldn’t be happier with our adoption. Here are a few recent pictures... Kyle and Dana

Carson

Just wanted to update on how Carson is doing with us. Sorry it took so long for me to write this, we've been busy settling in! Carson has adjusted so well to our little family. He's the perfect match for us. He loves having a new section of yard to explore every day! It's so big for him that he's only walked the entire area maybe twice! He really has brought us so much joy. He's getting better for his nail trims and warming up to the idea of having his face wiped daily. He is an amazing dog. We love taking him on walks at the park and watching him have his zoomies around the house. It's safe to say he's comfortable here. We can find him curled up any given moment sound asleep. The cat isn't too impressed with him, but we think secretly he loves him. Thank you all so much for helping us to make this possible. We love Carson!

Benson

We just wanted to let you know that things are going very well with the dog we have renamed Benny (formerly Benson). He is a sweet little lapdog and very smart too. He has already figured out how to get out of his crate and has done so twice :). He learns how to do things very quickly and knows many more basic commands than I was expecting. Julia Binelli

Sally

Sally who we adopted in 2011 is now Agnes. She's adorably crazy and drives her brother Murphy crazy with love and snorts.

Bella

Bella is adjusting very nicely to life in the city. She’s come to work with me everyday since she arrived. She has her own beanbag chair behind me and enjoys all the attention from visitors who stop by to see her. She has even been friendly and playful, (yes PLAYFUL!) with a couple of the smaller dogs around the office(the bigger ones still spook her). I live a block from Lake Michigan. We walked to the beach nearby this past weekend and I saw Bella run SO FAST, I was actually quite surprised. It was quite a departure from her usual relaxed and sleepy demeanor. I feel we’ve bonded well; she follows me all over the house. The kids were also over this past weekend and enjoyed having her play, especially when she plopped right down in the middle of our board game on the floor. I swear she’s part cat! She also has a habit of coming up to me on the couch, lifting up my shirt with her nose and gleefully licking my belly, tail wagging. She just keeps going unless I stop her. It’s usually after she eats, so I’m guessing she’s trying to get a taste out of her mouth(or I taste like Royal Canin). Anyway, we’re really happy and I think Bella is happy too! I've attached some pics. cheers steven mach
