Ethan

Hi Sherrie, I thought I would drop a quick email to let you know Ethan is getting along fantastically! He is really a wonderful dog -- Doug and I just adore him aleady. Maddie is getting along quite well with him. She is still a little unsure, but they have played a little in yard (just today); chasing each other around in circles. I think that relationship will get better and better every day. She's a little jealous but that is to be expected and we are paying a lot of attention to her to reassure her. Ethan hasn't had one accident so far. Of course, one of us has been home with him at all times and we have taken him out regularly. He will go "potty" when we tell him to -- even if he doesn't have much potty in him. He gets lots and lots of praise, which he really responds to very well. We took him to the vet today and got his check-up. She went ahead and gave him a booster -- distemper, I think, I can't remember, but I have it written down. She scanned him for his microchip and found it with no problem. She checked his joints and said he seems good. Surprisingly she said she didn't think he would get much taller if he is almost 7 months. She said he will fill out, but doesn't expect a lot more height. That is fine with us -- whatever size he turns out will be just dandy. One of my coworkers came over today and Ethan was great with him; friendly and affectionate. That is just what we need because Maddie is the watchdog and one of those is plenty. I think we will have to change his name because of friend mine has a young son named Ethan. So we are looking at names now and will probably have a new one in a couple of days. I'll let you know. Thank you so much for helping us connect with Ethan. He is just the greatest dog! Melinda
