Fredericka/Lucy,

It has been quite a while since I’ve been able to send you guys an update, I apologize. Things are going well for the most part here! Dakota has grown up to be a wonderful dog, she’s just over a year old, and she’s everything we were looking for in a family member! I’ve attached a few pictures for you to post if you’d like.

Hope you guys are doing well,
Wes

Lucy,

Attached are some recent photos of Koda, feel free to upload them.
Koda has been doing good, she’s 30.5 lbs now, at just under 4 months. I’m not sure if I told you previously but she passed her first 6 week puppy course! I’m going to hold off on the next one until her recall becomes a little more reliable, whenever she’s busy investigating something and I call her name, she’ll just sit down and stare at me rather than coming to me. it’s adorable, so it’s hard to get mad at her about not coming!

Update on Dakota

Dakota is doing so wonderfully! She eats regularly, and woke us up three times the first two nights, and only once last night! We’ll see if we can keep it going. So far only one accident in the house, which was entirely my fault. She woke up from a nap and I got distracted on our way outside.

We’re starting puppy pre k on Saturday, at a place we’ve taken dogs to before and we know and trust. She’s starting to come when her name is called, and she learned to enjoy dry dog food without any encouragement from us at all, just seeing another dog eat it!

We’ll keep you updated as her classes go on, and as she is introduced to other dogs and people.

Thank you so much,
Wes & Ashley

Lucy,

Sending you some pictures of Dakota on her way home, and at home in Orlando. The first is at the farm when we first met her, the second is Dakota with her boarding pass about to get on the plane, and the third is her in the house after a play session outside.
