Sparky (Dollar Bill)!

We are so happy with our new companion dog, Sparky (formerly known as
Dollar Bill). Here is a picture of him in his coat that he got when it
was so cold back in early December.

He is the dearest little guy! He is so smart, and learned so quickly
what we liked and disliked. He brings cheer wherever he goes, he is so
friendly. He loves his walks, and it's fun to take him because he's so
good on the leash. He also likes to play games like hide and seek and
fetch, but he's quite patient when it's not playtime. We enjoy working
with him to teach him new tricks, and he seems to enjoy learning them.
And he really is a marvelous companion - he likes to follow us wherever
we go and loves to cuddle up with us when we're relaxing. We sure love
and appreciate him, and it seems like he must like us too.

Also, thanks so much for the free vet exam coupon. We did take him to
the vet and he was completely fine. She was also impressed with what a
really good dog he is.

We just feel so fortunate!

Thanks to you for sheltering him and giving him such good care until we
found each other.
