Lovely Lily & her friend Rizzo up-date

Hi Donna!!

Just a quick update and some pictures. Lily (A Jezabelle Pup) is doing GREAT. We absolutely love her. She is so sweet and loving and easygoing, we take her all over the place (including on car trips to NY to visit my family), and she adapts easily to every new place and person she encounters. She loves to play with her toys (especially a giant stuffed cow that my best friend bought her, and the fleece shoe and lion that you sent her home with), and every day around 6:00 she does sprints around the house for about 15 minutes, which is especially great after a long day at work. It never ceases to make me laugh.

She has met many of the dogs on the block and is the toast of the neighborhood. We have met more people since we brought her home six weeks ago than we did in the entire first year that we've lived here! The people at my grandfather's nursing home love her, and all of our family members think she is just great (she met my parents for the first time last week, and I'm not sure who was more excited!)

She goes for her final round of shots next Saturday, then she'll get her rabies shot, and then I think we're done with shots for the year (well, except for when she gets spayed in October, but we haven't told her about that yet....). We have finally settled on a vet that we really like (thanks to the Wetmores's recommendation), and that's a huge relief. Lily seems to like it there, too.

The pictures I'm attaching include one of Lily's second bath (she's like half a puppy when her hair is wet!), one of Lily and Rizzo (Wetmore) - (A Lucky Pup) playing, one of Rizzo "driving" a toy car, one of Lily in the back yard, and one of her sitting - a trick which she learned in about three tries. Very impressive for such a young puppy!

Thanks again for giving us such a great little friend. We love her to bits. Hope everything is going well with your family and your two new arrivals.

Best,

Erica and Sam
