Telula

I just wanted to give you an update on Telulah. She and Lucy took about two minutes to sniff and say hello and have been playing and napping together from then on. They are getting along wonderfully and are having such a ball running around in the yard and playing "keep away." Telulah quickly found the toy basket and has been making herself at home. The cats have responded differently than I expected - the older one is simply staying out of the way, sleeping in her usual spot on my desk and observing from a safe lookout, but has not growled or hissed at Telulah at all like I thought she might. The younger cat, that I thought would play with her, on the other hand, completely freaked out - initially. I've never seen her hiss and growl like that and she basically disappeared to the basement for about 24 hours, but she is already "warming up." She came upstairs last night and sniffed at Telulah while she was oblivious, sleeping in her crate, so I'm guessing they'll be fine in a few more days. Telulah basically ignores the cats, she hasn't jumped up at the desk to bother them or anything and generally shows very little interest. I think they'll all be fine in no time. The only barking we've had has been very brief, on some occasions when going back in her crate, but she has quieted quickly and settles down for a nap. She is doing pretty well with the housebreaking - we had a few accidents until I caught on to her timing after meals and playing, but she is generally doing really well. She is already sitting on command!, almost always responds right away to "here" and is starting to get "kennel" and "out." She is liking sleeping at my feet under my desk while I work or trying to fit in Lucy's bed with her. She is such a sweetie and I really feel like she is a perfect fit into our little "family" here. Thank you so much for helping coordinating my getting her here in Indy - I so appreciate it. I will send some pictures when I can get them uploaded. Thanks for all the work you do with all the animals at C.A.R.E., Teresa

Bulldozer

So Quito has been our own for 1 year now. We love him more than ever. He is a wonderful little dog, very loving and lots of fun. Thought you might enjoy some pictures from this past summer. He gets along very well with other dogs and has lots of friends. He is very active and continues bond with our older dog Casey. Hope Bonnie is doing well. Judi Krause

Sage

I'm not sure if you remember but my mom and I adopted Sage(domestic longhair cat) from the Columbus Petco and we have some pictures of him! He has gotten extremely big and has a very long bushy tail! His hobbies include terrorizing anything that moves, including his big brothers, Andrew and Chance. He's extremely special to us and we would just like to say thank you! I hope you can post these pictures on his page on your website! ps- we call him Bert now. We don't know why, but it just stuck!

Truman

Truman is really working out well. He is getting on with the two other dogs and with the cats. He is just a great little guy. He loves to go out and walk around the property, especially when I have time to take the dogs on the "long walk" all round the perimeter of the property. He shares a crate while I'm at work with Candy, my dear old mini-dachshund and although he wasn't that keen on it at first, he now goes into it quite willingly. the only thing I have to do is to watch him to make sure he doesn't sneak the cats' food--he's very good at squeezing through the so-called gate that keeps the other dogs in the sun room! I thought you might nejoy the attached picture of Truman and Candy sunning themselves. Thanks and best wishes, Rod Stark
