Adopted doggy Newman

Hey, we just wanted to write and give you an update on Newman. He's
doing great. He couldn't have adjusted quicker.

After we left your offices we stopped at PetCo to get some things and
then came home. We bought him a dog bed and he jumped right into it
after we tossed it on the floor. I took a nap that afternoon on the
couch and Newman jumped right up and slept on my stomach. That night he
jumped right into bed with us. He's a bit of a bed hog though so after
a few nights of sleeping half off the bed we started bringing the dog
bed into the bedroom with us.

He hasn't peed, pooped, or chewed on anything in the house. He rarely
barks (unless there's a squirrel around).

We walk him several times a day, and he drags us the whole way. We
started taking him to the dog park at Marymoor Park and he's done really
well there. One day there were too many dogs and he was so excited that
he didn't listen. Since then we've been taking him later in the day
when there isn't as much activity. He's gotten much better and there
haven't been any more incidents.

We had a little issue with the liquid medicine you'd given us. He just
didn't want anything to do with it. So when we took him to the vet we
had the vet give us a tablet that would work. He took the tablets no
problem.

hmmmm what else... oh, he doesn't like acoustic guitars. Apparently not
his thing.

He's actually staring at me right now wanting attention.

Thanks for everything,

Jeremiah, Christa, and Newman
