Pruitt

We originally met Gary (formally known at Pruitt) through a friend serving as his TARA foster-mom, and to say we were immediately smitten with the little guy would be an understatement. We knew instantly that he was the dog for us and quickly made our way through TARA's adoption procedure. Upon approval, we counted down the days until we could pick him up and bring him to his new home. Since that day, Gary has become a member of the family and has been adjusting splendidly to his new surroundings. He has met new friends around the neighborhood and amongst our family and social circle. He has learned some new tricks and graduated from a local puppy class. And he has continued to provide lots of laughs and joy to our lives each and every day. So we say, "adopt a dog for crying out loud." -- Liz and Andy Jenkins

Donna, I am so sorry that I have not responded. Life just gets in the way. We are doing great!! I did change his name. He is now Finn. He doesn't really respond to it, but we are working on it. I think he is feeling right at home, and him and I have a routine that works well for us. He is such a lover, and is the perfect dog for me!! I am still amazed at how well behaved he is, and how easy of a transition it has been. He definitely doesn't love the snow, but he doesn't hate it either. He is very adamant that he will NOT go to the bathroom in my yard, so we are going on tons of walks. It's good for the both of us, but a bit challenging in this weather. His vet appointment went very well, they said he was healthy and just needed a nail trimming. I hope everything is going well for both of you, and that you are staying safe. P.S. Finn is so flexible, check out this picture. This has become his favorite way to sleep. :) Thanks for checking in. Melanie

Hey there! They are getting along just fine now. The first week we had to play the seperation game, but I have attached a picture from this morning. You be the judge! Other then that, he is doing great. Still a little skittish around us at times but a snuggle bunny the other times!

Sherrie: I just wanted to send you an update on how wonderful things have been going! I wanted to send it earlier, but I needed to use my desktop to upload and send pictures. Freya kept attempting to dine on the monitor cord so I had to put it off a little until I could get a cord protector...I was puppy proofed, but not Freya proofed! She's quite the wrestler and Otis is so gentle with her, that is compared to the bigger dogs at the dog park! She does not need to be handled with kid gloves, she usually starts the wrestling matches AND finishes them. Sometimes I look up and see Otis on his back and her on top of his chest biting his face and neck and just really giving him what for...he even sometimes escapes to the safety of the couch to compose himself before diving back in. Of course, she dances around and if any of his feet come within teeth distance she makes him pay for it. I've been attempting to get a video of it, but whenever I get up to get the camera they both, of course, quit playing and follow me to see if I will be handing out any tasty morsels. FYI, I do supervise the wrestling matches and all play times, but, despite being rough, nobody gets angry or hurt so I have not needed to intervene...yet. I suspect when she gets about 20 more pounds on her she will be quite the formidable opponent and will handily beat him without him pulling any punches. She has a natural grace and body awareness that makes her very good at sparring. I hope everything is going well for you, that Pinocchio found his forever home, that Puff finds her soon and, in the interim, is fitting happily into "the pack". Kindra, Otis, Freya and Adele
