Happy Trails - Maya

Hello to the wonderful folks at Homeward Pets!

It's been about a month since we added our 11 month old black lab Maya to the family (formerly named Trina) and she's doing just great.  She's high energy and loves going to Marymoor dog park.  I know she's a purebred lab but we were convinced she was part Greyhound when we saw her run.  She's the fastest dog at the park!  She still hasn't ventured into the water yet, but she's really curious watching other dogs go for a swim so we think it's just a matter of time.  We're looking forward to camping and hiking season so we can go exploring with our friends and their dogs, Pongo, Moose and Petey. 

Maya is now in puppy classes at Positive Dog and is learning her commands fast.  She's a natural sitter and she's getting much better at come, down and stay.  She's really good on walks and doesn't dart after other dogs if she's on the leash, although she really loves to play off leash when she can.  She's not much of a retriever yet; she'll run full speed for someone else's ball but doesn't pick them up or return them yet so we're working on that.    We take her on walks during the week and to the dog park every weekend.  During the week while we're working she goes to Marymoor with our dog walker Lee.  He takes some great photos and posts them at www.havedogwillwalk.com so you can always be sure to see new pix of her on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Look for the fastest black lab and that's Maya!

Maya is already family to us so we cannot thank you enough for everything that you do, and special thanks to Anne Marie, our adoption counselor. 

Best wishes,

Kelly, Adam and Maya Anderson
