Subject: Otis 3 Update

Hi Fredericka and Lucy,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on how Otis 3 is doing. He’s two now and weighs about 175 pounds. He’s super social and wants to make friends with everyone. He’s a big lover and often is used as a pillow by the kids when they’re watching TV at night. He loves going for walks and car rides and gathers lots of attention from passers by with his giant head hanging out the window. It’s rare that you don’t see people smiling at him in amusement. In fact, many people in our neighborhood don’t know my name, but they know Otis’ name and greet him when we take walks. Playing and rolling in the snow and going camping with us in the summer are other activities he enjoys. He uses his paws to show affection by putting his paw on your arm or leg the same way I’ve noticed your own dogs doing in the photos on your website. Thanks again for creating such a loving breed. He’s brought immeasurable joy into our home and we can’t imagine life without him.

Hope all is well in Ohio.
Karen
