House breaking is going well.. he is running up and downtown the stairs like its a game. He is such a vocal character. My other dog diesel thinks he is a puppy again but is also like his body guard. From the moment he got off the plane he was in love with Jenn and I.. he is too funny with his head tilting and his grunts, biting one side of his lip looking at you like "you gotta be kidding!" We also had to change his name. Which I kinda knew was go na happen. Bc of his personality and his "fly by's" his name is Nitro and he likes it.. already comes running after one day.
Also.. not sure of I told you. But im a firefighter. Jenn is an emt. We both love kids and helping people. We were thinking about as he gets older we are gonna train him so that we can bring him to visit kids and seniors at the hospital.. he's got such a loving touch we think it'll be great..

The puppies are doing wonderful we are getting a routine, I am with them all day long. If I go somewhere I put them in a crate they sleep on the living room floor and I'm on the sofa to supervise them. I stepped on Belles foot (didn't hurt her), she went to Mary sat in front of her and raised her foot as if to say please rub it for me.. Our female Shepherd loves both of them and they follow her outside and play with her. I had Sofia outside on a lease and Nathan grabbed it and walked her all over the place. Anyway we are having a great time.
Blessings

Lucy aka Juneau (From Redmond & Cutter)
Hi Sandi -
Thank you so much for allowing us to add her to our family! We had our shots done today and got her heartworm and flea prevention. Our male doesn't like her much, but is fine with set females, so we are working on it. Liam loves Lucy(as long as she isn't nipping him). It's funny, she behaves when she is with my boyfriend, but as soon as I get home she is a little rascal. My son does the same thing :). Liam has started to "bark" at Lucy when she barks at him. So cute!. I am in the service dog club at college, so we are going to train her to be a therapy dog so we can take her to hospitals and nursing homes. She is a handful, but a joy and we are so happy to have her. Everyone is excited and supportive because they know how much I love animals and how much I miss my dog that passed last year. Thank you again for producing such a great puppy!

Karma aka Nubby (Redmond & Skeeter)
Hi Sandi,
When we got home it was 10 pm and when I walked through the door Kobe (Redmond x Skeeter @ 9 months old) came to say Hi to me and then.......he smelled Karma. I put her in the floor so Witt and Kobe could get used to her and get their sniffs out of the way before bed. Kobe wouldn't go near her!! Witt and Karma became instant friends and ran all over the house chasing each other. Kobe on the other hand was like a scared kid! I had to sit down on the floor away from Karma and let him sit next to me. I loved on him and told him that it was ok. I told him this was his new baby and he had to be nice and not be scared. After our little "chat" he went right up to her and everything was fine then. I let them greet and meet for about 20 minutes and when I was ready to take a shower I put the boys in their big crate. Robert kept Karma in the living room until I could get her crate all ready for her to go to bed. The boys were not happy that she got to stay up and so they whined. I finally got her crate ready and everyone calmed down. She wimpered for about 30 seconds and then she was fine the rest of the night. She and the boys did great. This morning she has gone outside to potty and chased Witt puppy around everywhere. Evan got up this morning and has loved on her!!! He keeps thinking he can sit on her like he does Kobe. He follows Karma and Witt when they run around the house yelling puppy, puppy!!! This morning has turned out great so far. She is loving it!!! I will say she is a toe biter! And she keeps trying to attack the girls pajama pants! Tayler keeps telling Madyson when she does that you have to grab her nose and yell NO!!! The girls are excited and everyone is doing well. Robert keeps saying how pretty she is! And I totally agree!!! Thank you again for doing what you do with the dogs!!! They are lucky to have you be the one to get them started before they reach their new families!!!
