Emails and Letters from Adopters
We wanted to give you an update on Paisley and let you know how she is doing. Paisley is adjusting well and loves playing with her sister, Betty. They love to chase each other in the yard( especially in the snow) then come inside and chew on nylabones side-by-side. Her brother Cody has warmed up to her and all three are living together in harmony. We just had an exciting weekend! In honor of Paisley’ s first Christmas with us we took her to see Santa and have her picture taken! After a long day she is ready to turn in. She sleeps straight through the night and doesn’ t get her mom up until 6 or 7 the next morning.
Thank you again to you and your staff for everything. We are delighted to welcome Paisley into our home. She is a good girl and we are so happy to have found each other.( We hope you enjoy the photos we attached). Have a very Merry Christmas!
