Dear Deb,
I have been meaning to write for so long and it seems our lives have been so hecktic the last few months. I wanted you to see what a big boy our Zach has become. The last time I had him to the vet (about a month ago he was almost 75 lbs so imagine he's approaching 80 a little past his 10 month birthday. Our biggest milestone was when he learned to trust and love Dennis and now he waits each evening for Dennis to get home from work and cries when Dennis goes out in the yard without him. The evening walks seemed to turn the tide. In August we were traveling in the motorhome for 3 weeks and he has become a great traveler. The last 5 weeks both Dennis and I have been taking him to obedience class at Pet Smart and all 3 of us have learned a lot. He is the class clown, loves when they have off leash play time, gets along famously with all the other dogs, loves the instructor and has learned to adjust to other people. He picks up his lessons so quickly and not a surprise as he is so smart and seems to live to please.
As far as I can see Zach's number one attribute is his disposition. I don't think he has a cranky bone in his body. In the middle of the night he will come and give me a kiss and then go back to sleep as if he justs wants me to know he's ok and checking to see that I'm still ok. I have never had a more loving or attentive dog in my life. He follows me all day and yet when we are away from home he has never displayed what I consider separation anxiety, has never destroyed anything or chewed anything. There isn't a day goes by that he doesn't make me laugh, so absolutely good for my well being. As you have undoubtedly guessed we know we made a wise decision with the breeding and we will always be thankful for your guidance and for helping to bring such a wonderful gift into our lives.
