Just wanted to give you another brief update on Sampson and Cricket.  They are doing GREAT! Nina and I have been taking them to the dog park a few times a week, and they love to get out and run, and play with the other dogs. They are able to play in either section (the big dogs and the little dogs) and are good with dogs of any size. They love to play with other dogs owners too, and we constantly get compliments on how sweet and friendly they are.

 

Sampson is continuing his love affair with squeaky toys, and stockpiles them in hiding places so his sister wont take them from him. Cricket usually sniffs them out though! Nina has taught Cricket to "dance" on her hind legs on command, and both doggies are able to go through a routine of sit, shake, lay down, and roll over. We are able to get them both to do it at the same time, with no treats! Sampson and Cricket have gone from sleeping in their crates every night to being loose in the house at night, and one of them often sleeps in my room while Nina lets the other one in her room. They sleep through the night, and are very cuddly. The are getting used to us grooming them, and both dogs let us give them baths, trim their nails, and brush them without much argument.

(Sampson just likes to be touched, so he's the easy one! Cricket can be a little more difficult.)

 

We are doing great with our dogs, and we absolutely adore them being a part of our lives. I have attached some recent pictures of both of them.

 

 Thanks again for bring my sister and I together with our "kids"!
