Hey Lisa and Ernie! How are you? well we're doing great, Saber is getting used to his new home and adjusting really well. He has been a dream to crate train and already knows that his crate is where he sleeps, when he's ready to take a nap, he goes and gets his little sleepy buddy and goes in to lay down. He also had his first vet appt on this past wed, and he got so many compliments from the staff on how well mannered he is and how he's not one of those spastic puppies. lol!! Our vet said he is in excellent health and said he was just a very handsome little guy! (he weighed in at 12lbs and I just know he's gained several more since then.) and believe it or not, he's already housetrained!!!!  when he's got to go, he whimpers a bit and heads to the door!!! he is most definitely the best puppy I've ever house trained!!!

Saber is also doing great with the kids and even the cat! although it took her whacking him once with her paw to get him to stop chasing her but they are getting along for the most part.....and the kids adore him so much! he gets 2 walks a day and plays with them off and on. I even took him with us to the boys Tball practice and he was fantastic!!!!! they actually asked for me to bring him back.

anyhoo I'll send some more updates periodically.

thanks,

Karen Hodges and family
