Dear Lucy and Fredericka,

Finally got a few shots of Rachel looking at the camera and wanted to share them with you. Sorry about the finger in the one shot, I was so excited that they both layed there long enough for me to get a photo 🙂

Thanks again for a wonderful girl! We love her so much and couldn’t imagine not having this experience with one of your great dogs.

Blessings to you and yours,
Paul and Linda

Fredericka,

Things here are going well. Rachael is doing great!
She was especially happy in this picture, today, as we just got home from a week end in the Black Hills.

My Dad, Mom, Paul and I spent our 17th anniversary out there seeing the sights and having a nice get away. My mom had just turned 80 in August and since I don’t see my parents as often as I like, we took them along.

But we were all glad to get back to our own beds. At least until Rachael insisted I sleep on the couch near her at about 3:30 this morning 🙂

Well, I have to run to choir. We were off all summer, but now we will get back to our Wed night practices.

Take care and keep in touch,

Linda, Paul and Rachael
