Jan,
Teddy is great and very much looking forward to summer when his kids will be home with him everyday.:)
Don' t laugh but I just bought him a lifejacket yesterday, since we bought a speedboat for the cottage and I know he will want to go for rides. (:) My niece has one for her golden retriever so Teddy couldn't be outdone. He is going to love the cottage. Lots of kids, outdoor time and other dogs! Let' s just hope we get the weather this summer! I wish I could say he is fully potty trained but that stinker will sneak down to the basement to do a no.2 in the basement bathroom. You know how those rescue dogs love those hard smooth floors! I think I may have to leash him to me so he can't sneak away.
Thats all for now,
Alison and Teddy

Dear Jan,
He is awesome. He is quite a traveler now and did great with our numerous trips over to my parents for the holidays. He has also learned to love baths, we put on a new spray faucet so I can give him an undercarriage flush after all those darn snowballs get stuck to him!,br> (Low clearance on the small breeds.) We are still struggling with potty training; we aren't as consistent as we should be. :) He has really warmed up to the kids and goes to them to play in the evening when he gets all riled up. He has really added a new dimension to the family; I can't wait to get home, he gives me such a enthusiastic welcome.
Thank-you.
Alison, Gregg and kids
