Hi, Kellie & Russ!
Just wanted to update you on our newest addition... She
was perfect all the way home. With the exception of two
potty stops she slept the whole way. She absolutely loves
Don's Lab, Ruby, and our two cats. Well, she's interested in
 them
and they are very wary of her. They keep their distance and
don't take their eyes off of her. By day two she decided if
they won't play with her, she'll just yip at them. It's
pretty cute! She's done great at night. She cries if I
close her kennel door, so I just leave it open and she ends
up going in on her own to sleep. She gets up pretty early -
5:00 a.m. - which isn't good for me...hopefully that will
change as she gets older. She sleeps a lot during the day
(just like a baby - mixes up her days and nights!) and her
favorite place to sleep is on Adam's beanbag chair. She is
very curious-again like a baby-and we follow her around and
make sure she doesn't get into things she shouldn't. She had
her first bath yesterday after digging in some mud (must
have got that from her mama!) The kids are having a ball
with her. Now if they'd only get up with her in the morning,
that would be great!
Rick's mom is disappointed that I didn't call her from
your house about getting the other pup for them. She said we
would have come home with two! She is still working on
Don.....you may be getting a call from one of us soon! I
think RuthAnn would probably like to have Mouse-she wants a
smaller female. Let me know which other pups go home with
those other families. I hope you were able to find Maggie
right away after we left. Did you have a nice weekend? All
those teenagers....hope all went well! I'll send some
pictures as soon as I get some good ones during the day
(when she's not sleeping...)

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you know that Maverick (Ric) is
doing great. The other dogs love him and so do the kids. He
has claimed the spot behind my recliner as his and goes
there when the kids get too overwhelming, which is about
three times a day,
especially in the evening when he gets tired. He slept
through the night last night and only woke up once on the
first night and that was to go potty. Then he went right
back to sleep. He has only had one accident and that was our
fault, as we didn't realize he was done eating (too busy).
We played with a quail wing on a fishing line yesterday and
he got real curious and locked up with the high curl tail,
of course it didn't last long enough to get a picture but
was beautiful while it lasted. He and Lizzy (English Setter)
are already friends, although I haven't let him spend too
much time with the other dogs (until he has his final
shots). I did let Lizzy in the house with him and they
played hard. Now Lizzy sits looking in the door while Ric
sits looking out at her, it is really cute. I think he
misses his siblings, he doesn't really while until night
time and then its until he finds the green towel. Once he
has the towel he takes it to his spot and curls up with it,
its amazing how much they are like children. Anyway, he's
doing great and I'll let you know how the vet visit goes
Friday.
Thank you sooooo much, his is already a member of the
family. The older girls spent the first night with grandma
and had to call several times that night and first thing in
the morning to check on Ric.
