Here's a couple of pics. I think I told you that we renamed him "Jake". (Our note: his shelter name was Aragon.) He's adjusting well. He loves going on walks, but still not too excited about getting in the car. He gets along with "Crash" well, and he's starting to figure out what the purpose of toys are. It's kind of funny watching him.
One of the pics is from the beginning of April.

Hi!
We took Gracie (formerly Netta) to The Plaza of Richardson (rehab & nursing home). As soon as I saw Gracie's temperament, I knew she would be perfect for visiting in nursing homes. I called to verify that dogs would be permitted and was told YES. She acted like she had been doing this all of her life! Some of the residence of course came over and petted her, telling her how beautiful she is, and some just followed her with their eyes. The main thing is that their eyes was following this little dog!!
Then the biggest test of all happened, the fire alarm went off (they were testing the system)! Gracie stayed very calm but we felt sorry for her with the high pierce noise. They of course would not let anyone out during this test, so we covered her ears the best we could but she still remained VERY calm.
Here are the pictures of Gracie that I promised.
She is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside.

George (formerly known as Bix) wanted to check in and say HI to the gang at the Humane Society. I am his mom Angie and this is what he told me to write, (he tries to use the computer, but he gets the keys confused.)
Thanks for the rescue from the kill shelter and the move to the Humane Society. I sat around for so many months waiting to meet my new mom and family and boy did I luck out, although she says she's the lucky one. Let's see where do I start.
I sleep with my mom, right up against her every night!!! I have two pillows on the couch that let me look out onto the canal while I am laying down.can you believe it, I can see out the window without even moving a muscle!!! I have a sister, (she thinks she's royalty) her name is Becca. Becca taught me to play and have fun. We run up and down the stairs. at the top of the stairs we turn the corner fly onto the bed.then we screetch around on top of the bed and fly down, then it's back down the stairs (oh and we bark along the way!) Do you know how much fun that is? My leg muscles have gotton super strong and I can go forever now before I get tired!! My family takes me on long walks at least 3 times a day, usually with my sister and my really good friend Max (he's a really big red dog, and another rescue too). I have a deck which has a great view, I can see everything from there.
Attached are some photos of Lily, formerly Collette. She and our other dog Daisey are best of buds. They are always together.
Daisey just had cataract surgery on both eyes and is doing very well. Lily helps take care of her.
We are very happy that we were able to adopt Lily. She is definitely one of our kids.

Hi!!! Just wanted to drop a line and let you know everything's going great with the new babies...
Well, Willamena is a terror unless by-herself-the-center-of-everything; and Wanda cannot get enough attention; and Tina won't sit in my lap yet. And that is the worst I can say of any of them!!!
They are sweet and attentive and anxious to please. They get along well and enjoy their new arrangements: We have a small home but we have a finished attic space (where they hang out most of the time) and the unfinished attic space (where they race around and be "wild") and down the stairs is a small garage that was enclosed in the 50s (we have a very old house) and then they come in with us too in our space. They are still adjusting but seem very content.
Thanks for all your help with this - we appreciate it!!!
