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 !
