MANDY
& TRICIA
We finally got the girls to stand still
long enough to get a picture this weekend.
They're coming along so well now and they seem like they've
been with us forever now, even though its only
been a week and a couple of days. We come home
everyday to lots of kisses and wagging tails.
Tricia seems to be slimming down a little now that we've got
them taking a couple of walks everyday.
When we first got them, Tricia had a lot of trouble
going up and down stairs because of her extra weight and we
often had to carry her up and down. After
a week of walking she barely hesitates on them
anymore and goes up and down at will. She's still got
a ways to go, but she already seems happier (if
that's even possible since she's always got a
smile). Mandy was very shy and reserved when we
first got her, but after a week we've discovered
that we have a 9 year old puppy! She romps and frolics
all over the house. Every night after we come in from
our walk she's still got tons of energy and will
jump around playfully and run all over the house
while Tricia lopes behind her and barks. Its just sooooo
funny and cute!
Once again, we'd like to thank BONES for bringing our two
girls into our lives. Keep up the good work!

BESSIE
Hi
Sarah
Well Bessie is doing great. She's such a sweet
dog. Laura has taught her a few tricks. She will sit on
her hind legs with her front paws up and also will shake
hands. Laura has also got her to do "down" and is working
on roll over. Seems like she s been part of the family for
a lot longer than a week already. She loves to go in the
car. She is a true beagle when we go for walks, with her
nose to the ground the entire time. The whole neighborhood
knows her now. We have had a few funny moments when
someone walks by the yard and Bess starts to "bark".
A couple of people have asked if she had asthma or laryngitis.
So we explained her story to just about everyone now.
She seems to get around just fine although
I do see her holding up her left front leg on the last few
steps of our walk. And that happens more if she is going
a little fast for her. I did get some of the sea jerky treats
and since she loves treats I figured that was a good way
to give her her supplement and make her think she was getting
a treat too. Just wanted to let you know how she's doing
and how much we love her. -Lynne
ANDY
Hi-I just wanted to give you an Andy update.We
just love him! He is a great boy in the house. He is polite
and playful. He is perfectly housebroken. But, boy, he is
a wild man outside. We are teaching him not to bark at 6:30
AM on his walk. He escaped, Houdini style, last week and we
were worried sick for 1 !/2 hours. I still do not know what
happened. When he took off, I still had the leash (intact)
in my hand, and he had the harness (intact) on. We wondered
if the leash clasp may have opened a little and slipped of,
so we got a new leash. The next morning I took him out with
2 leashes! My husband thought I was crazy- but beagle chasing
in the woods is no fun. When he was loose, we saw him running
through the woods near our house chasing a deer! No amount
of calling or deli meat will distract a beagle/lab on the
scent of a deer! We definitely need to fence the yard in the
spring. This guy is a real runner. Thank you so much for helping
us to find Andy- we love him. He has brought happiness
to our home.

HEIDI
Hi
All!
Well it has been 2 weeks now and Heidi
is doing GREAT. She and Sunkist act like they have always
been together. On
October 1st we will take Heidi to our vet for her "How do
you do" visit and to have her eye checked. Then on October
14th she and Sunkist will go to our groomers. I called
them the other day to see if we could include Heidi in the
visit and they were soooooooo excited about Sunkist having
a little sister. We send our dogs every 6 weeks for
grooming and teeth brushing. (Hey, I go to the hairdresser's
why not my girls, right?) Sunkist has taught Heidi how to
bark when people walk by the house and Heidi has taught Sunkist
how to run around and have fun again. That was something
that had been missing since we lost Tara last December.
We were having a hard time getting Sunkist to go for a ride
with us if both George and I were not in the van. Heidi
has taken care of that too.
Heidi loves our fenced in backyard and has not
attempted to escape. She is very content to play with
Sunkist or just lay in the sun.
I am taking all kinds of pictures and sometime
after the 14th of October I will send some along with an update
of how everyone is doing. To Leanne, Sarah, Wendy and Rich,
thank you for all your help, encouragement and and friendship.
This whole process could not have gone as smoothly as it did
without you!!!
Love to All,
Pattie, George, Rob, Sunkist and Heidi
HUNTER
Just
thought you would like to know how great things are with our
dog. He is so good, we are enjoying him so much. We forgot
how wonderful it is to have a dog. Even though we have
only had him a few weeks, it seems like we've had him
for years. He loves it here. We use a Harness on him
all the time when we walk him and it works great! If
ever there was a perfect match between owner and
dog........we
have it with our dog.

HOGAN
Just a note to say hello and tell you thank-you for helping
me in my move to Jonesport and my new family. I am
settling in very well and I like my little sister a lot
I have adjusted real well my first week here. I have
a soft bed and sofa to sleep on, lots of treats and lots
of love from my new family. I've gained an extra pound
or two and my fur is getting shiner and softer everyday,
(My new Mom thinks I may have needed a lot more water?)
We have been taking long walks each afternoon when my Mom
gets home from work and romps with Kissy around the yard
before bedtime. I had a couple of accidents on the
floor, but Mom said it was OK as long as I didn't do it
anymore, I looked at her with my big brown eyes, wagged
my tail, then she patted my head and smiled so I think she's
not disappointed any more. I'm going to try hard to
do what she says, 'cause she tells me I'm a dream come true
and my Dad just adores me already. I got to go to
town in the big truck the other day and the girls at the
bank just thought I was soooo... handsome!!!
They gave me lots of cookies!!! I'm real happy here and
the kitties like me better than Kissy. Can you imagine
that? Will send greetings around the Holidays from
me and my new family. Love, Hogan
CHLOE
We wanted to let you know that your last
placement is a monumental success! Chloe has settled in so
perfectly, it is like she has always been here! She is an
absolute delight, easy to have around, easier to love! My
mother is head over heels with her...even lets her sleep on
her love seat, which was always a big no-no with any other
dog! She is definitely house trained, and basically is in
the crate for a few hours each day between our leaving for
work and my mom getting up to start spoiling her. Jeff
is smitten! He can't give her enough love and belly rubs.
Me...I am totally taken with her as well! Sunday night she
jumped up onto the bed when I was going to sleep...and immediately
burrowed under the covers until she was between my knees!
Jeff had to come down to see what I was laughing hysterically
about! I cannot thank you, and BONES, enough for this wonderful
little beagle-girl!
