Jackie the Shepherd Puppy

I wanted to let everyone know how Jackie (now Lilie) is doing. From day one Lilie fit right into our home. Our Chihuahua Rosie loves her and they are fast becoming life long friends. We are finding that she is really smart. Her first day in her new home she took over one of Rosie's small beds in our living room and proceeded to drag it into the kitchen by one of our other dog beds (I guess she really wanted to be by Rosie). As you can see in some of the pictures she got comfortable here really fast. From the first day she seemed to be housetrained, could sit and shake. Lilie is my son Alex's dog and so he has now trained her to lie down and other fun tricks. We decided to put her in a obedience class with other puppies and she is a star so we entered her in the "Puppy Star Program" which will earn her alot of awards from AKC. Because of her ability to do about anything we think she will excel in these classes so we plan to continue to have her take the other classes they offer teaching agility and tricks. Alex homeschools so, as you said, it has become a great learning opportunity for him also. Lilie has become a great addition to this family and we love her very much. She loves to see Grandma and Grandpa, loves to go for walks, and play with her stuffed animals. Thank you so much for having such a great organization. I don't believe we would have found such a wonderful dog had it not been for you. I check the web site every day to see what other dogs have gotten adopted hoping Lilie's mom Jennifer will be next. God Bless! Rachel D.
