Cici is a Super Sleeper at One Year Old
I wanted to send an update on Cici, who I adopted this January. She has adjusted amazingly well to her new home. She has two brothers Rudy and tucker who she absolutely loves to snuggle and play with. When I first got cici she was very shy and cautious. She didn't do well with young kids, didn't like her feet or faced touched and didn't trust people after what she went through. Now she is a different animal. She frequently plays with my cousins 3 year old twins. They love her and she loves them. She has also quickly become popular. Everyone I meet wants to take her home with them. We go to parks and pets stores and she says hi to everyone (human and canine). She is always giving kisses. Health wise she has put on a few pounds. She has a very good appetite and has become quite the beggar. She has more personality than any dog I've ever owned. She is a princess in the water lifts up her feet like she doesn't want to get dirty. She rubs her body over every peice of clothing and every towel I own that makes it to the floor. She is the loudest snoring animal, even waking up my other dogs at times. Today we are celebrating her "first" birthday. Since we didn't know we just picked a day. She is such a joy, and I wanted to thank you for everything.
Sincerely Jennifer

Belle getting Bigger
Hi Donna,
I was just telling Steve I needed to email you with some updates, lol.
Belle has grown 2 1/2 inches taller and weighs 15 lbs now, loves going on walks. She is doing better than I ever would have thought with potty training:))))
She went to the vet and everything looks great, got her next round of shots and goes back in 3 weeks.
We all just love her to death!!!!!!
Thank you!

Brady just ready to be Loved
I wanted to share a pic of Brady, whom we adopted last week. He is such a sweetheart and, after some dental work and grooming, is adjusting to his new home so well. We couldn't be happier and hope he's enjoying us just as much!

Davi my Shadow
I adopted Davi Rae (with you guys her name I believe was Punch) almost 3 years ago. She was my second dog, my first was a miniature schnauzer. They quickly became best buds. As a college student I was constantly on the move and my two companions went everywhere with me. While my schnauzer passed about a year later, Davi has become my shadow. While she took a little bit of an effort to train (she is very stubborn) and she has had her trouble making moments, she is sweet and totally goofy. We frequent Bow Wow Beach in Stow (when the weather permits) which is likely her favorite place on the whole earth. We are about to make a big move to South Carolina and I cannot wait to take her to the real ocean, and I wanted to express my gratitude to Bow Wow Beach for rescuing my companion before we start on this new journey together. Davi and I thank you. Xox.
. Cutest puppy I've ever seen, this picture was just a couple months ago, on her best behavior.
Davi and I Thank You. XOX.

Teah the Beautiful Beagle
Hi "Beagle Bob"
Sorry this took so long. I had a hard time finding your email address. Every week I get the newsletter from Paws and Prayers and saw that you have a new beagle. I was from there that I got your email.
So finally here is your picture of Teah. This was taken last fall while we where camping. As you see, she had enough of laying on the ground, so the picnic table was the next best thing!
We love our Teah. We call her TT. She loves to play ball and loves to chew her bones.
I hope your surgery went well and that you are recovering nicely. Thank you for all you do saving these precious beagles. Wish I could adopt them all!
Thanks again for saving Teah,
Jennifer and the rest of the Balough Family

Keba is very Loving
Dear Paws and Prayers,
Around October last year we adopted a dog you had named "Buddy." WOW! What a wonderful dog he is!! I love him so much, he is my best friend :) Keba as we call him now is by my side all the time we could never ever have asked for a better dog!! Keba is loving towards my son and playful. Keba is so funny he grabs his toys and throws them around and then dances in front of them it is soooo cute. It just cracks me up!!
Thank you so much for bring this guy into my life. He is my little angel. He is my heart and soul!! Keba no longer knows he is a dog; pretty sure, he thinks he is human :D
THANK YOU
Chrystal Wilgus

Vacation, Lucky Jack and Millie
Just another quick update .... Jack and Millie are currently enjoying a relaxing vacation with Dan and myself at Barkwells (the dog lovers vacation retreat) located just outside of Asheville, NC. They have about 8 acres fenced area to run and a lake to go in. And are also loving barking at the resident chickens and goats. They have been having a blast and were so well behaved on the car ride down.
They both do great off leash and are really good with the other dogs (even Millie, she's completely different off leash and even plays with the little dogs). Jack loves to run everywhere and is Mr. Social but comes back when called while Millie stays pretty close to where we're walking and runs back to check in with us every couple minutes. We couldn't ask for two better dogs, they truly are each others best friend and compliment each other so well.

Pearl is a Jewel
Tasha...
I thought that I'd let you know that Pearl is doing just fine. She has warmed up to all of us. She just needed some time. She doesn't mess, chew, bark or rip things apart. She goes to her crate when told. She still needs some training and she is testing us from time to time but she is a very good dog.
Thanks for your efforts.
Please let me know if you are coming down towards North Canton. you are welcome to stop by and see her if you would like.

Growing and Learning with Merida
Merida Update!
Hi P&P
Merida is settling in well. I was concerned that she was not eating as much as you mentioned in your letter but that was just for a day. She is back on track with meals. YEAH!!!
She loves to chase the cats and is trying to make friends with my Dad's dog Mitten...but Mitten is 15 years old and just walks away but Merida tries every day to make friends with her. Merida does well going outside and loves to explore her new backyard. She chased a squirrel the other day. She also likes to run really really fast and jump into some bamboo plants we have in the yard and kind of acts like she is prowling for something.....usually a leaf.
She sleeps a lot of the time on the couch or ottoman during the day. We do have a pet carrier that she likes to sleep in usually at night....I think she feels secure in it....not sure....but she does sleep well and is sleeping through the night. We/She usually go to sleep around midnight and she wakes up around 7am ready to go!
We have her 12 weeks Vet visit set already. We are checking out puppy obedience classes and expect to start in the next few weeks just to make sure we are training her properly.
I was wondering what Merida's actual birthday is. I would like to add it to my calendar and did not see it in the paperwork....unless I just overlooked it.
Another question I have is when she was fixed did they place a tattoo on her tummy? I see a green/blue mark on her tummy...just making sure that mark is supposed to be there.
We fall more in love with our little Merida every day!
That is about all for now. I will keep you posted. I have attached a photo of her. I will get a group photo of Merida, The kids and me to you as soon as I can get everyone together.
Please pray for us. Our basement has flooded and not sure exactly how much damage is there. Our basement has never flooded before.
Thank you for our little girl. She is so special to us.

Mickey the Puppy is Growing Up
Mickey is doing well. Now that he is done teething, he doesn't chew on everything in reach. I lost 2 TV remotes to him, and several pieces of furniture. But it is all good.
A lady moved into the apartment behind me with 2 Great Danes, so he has some bigger buddies to play with. I am taking him and Dozer up to my Aunt's farm for Easter. She has 2 Great Danes as well, and 25 acres of fenced in farmland for them to run around on. It is going to be an interesting Easter to say the least.
Dozer and Mickey get along really well.
Just letting you know how he is doing.

Zoe (From Hunger Games) Has two speeds Go-Stop
Zoe, AKA "Katniss" from the Hunger Games puppies has recently turned a year old. She is a joy to have around and a ton of energy! We think she has only two speeds - Full speed ahead or stopped! She loves to play and torment our English Bulldog Rosie. (Rosie is not as excited about this as Zoe) and loves our entire family and any people she meets. She is very friendly and very excitable! Having Zoe has been an adventure! While she drives us crazy at times with all her energy (We are convinced she is ADHD), we love her to pieces! She loves to cuddle in the chair in our sun-room or attempt to do so on our laps! (Not so easy as she is about 50 pounds now - bigger than we thought she would be!) So thankful we found her and added her to our family though. Thanks for taking care of her until she became ours!!

Loving Family helps Lexi
I adopted Lexi the beagle a few years back. She has been such a great dog and adapted quickly to our family. But I wanted to give you an update. She had to have surgery to have a rectal polyp removed and while they were doing that, I had them check a lump that I found in her stomach area, it turned out to be a hernia, so the vet was able to repair that and said that they caught it at a good time and it was easy to repair. She is home and doing great...we love her to pieces!
Thanks...

Brothers, Bear and Jonah getting to know Each Other
Well all is well, Bear and Jonah played like puppies last night! I didn't catch it on video but I will next time. It was AWESOME! Somersaults and all. They were in heaven.
At first Bear would literally hide his toys from Jonah and take any toy away from Jonah he may have found. But Jonah never gave up. He would just pick up another one, as Bear could not keep them all in his mouth, and that would force Bear to come to him again. It was the weirdest game. Bear even buried his favorite stuffed animal 4 times. I couldn't find it for a whole day at one point. But the whole time Bear would always lay down next to Jonah, although his back would be too him. Every once in a while when Jonah was feeling happy he would try to initiate play he would push his nuzzle into Bear's back and Bear would let him but not react. It would go on for a few minutes and then Jonah would give up. But yesterday when I got home and they all came in from outside they started playing like they had been playing all along. I didn't want to get my camera in case it distracted them. It was so much fun to watch. They really were in heaven.
I have to admit I have tears in my eyes after reading this email from Jonah's new mom. I still miss the big guy. Bear is another dog she rescued that is 11 yrs old.
