(11.16.10) We adopted Nellie (now her name is Laney, well Laney Lee to be exact! :) ) on May 15, just about 6 months ago. She is doing really well. She went from 36-37 pounds and is now about 50-51. We took her to training class this summer for 8 weeks, and really- it was training for us! :) She is very smart and picked up on everything quickly. She LOVES walks and playing with all her toys. She is a sweet, little cuddle bug, always wanting to sit in our laps and nuzzle up to us giving LOTS of kisses. She does well with all people and kids; although we are working keeping her calm around small children because she tries to jump on them. Laney is still a little crazy around other dogs. She whines to greet them but gets overly excited and it comes off to the other dog as aggressive and turns into a little spat. We're working on it! She has some boxer cousins that we'd love to get her with, but they have only been able to interact for a few minutes at a time. We've had some food allergy/environmental allergy struggles, but we are working to get those under control. She is on a limited ingredient diet and treats and currently trying to figure out the best treatment for her environmental allergies. Hopefully we will soon, we are getting to be regulars at the vet! :) We are so in love with our Laney Lee! She has been a great addition to our little family. We're so glad to be part of such a wonderful organization!
