She is doing very well. Been a busy week for her. Her name is now Sandi and she is responding well to it and comes when called. The leash, harness, walks and potty training have been going fantastically; couple of small accidents in the house but have been on the training pads and the mat by the door. She now understands sit, out, stay and of course good girl and goes to the door and sits on the mat to get her leash on, likes outside and has a bit of a stubborn streak when it is time to come in LOL. She loves kids and people but does not like when other dogs bark, she gets scared. Her first visit to her vet went very well. She is a healthy little girl. She has had her first bath at home and her nails done and we are about to start the teeth cleaning.

Sandi has adapted well to her seat harness for the back seat in the truck and has been out every day this week as part of her preparation for traveling to Florida and has been a regular visitor at the local PetSmart over the week and out again today to get a soft kennel for the trip and hotel rooms. Lots of toys and spoiled rotten but then you cannot spoil them with love. Still very much a cuddler and needs that time with both of us.

She has her appointment booked for her follow up shots with Dr. Miki and will be in for her spay the end of October. We will be sure to stop by when we come over for that.

Here are a couple of her sleeping LOL she is going through a growth spurt and all leg right now.  As soon as Pierre gets some of her playing off his phone, I will forward them on to you.

Update October '15

Just a quick check in on our Sandi/Elsa. She is doing so well. Growing like a bad weed and all leg right now and eating us out of kibble LOL. She is teething big time and ice cubes are now her favorite thing. Has the stairs up and down, down pat. Loves people and kids and very excited when they are visiting but calm when it's just us. Finally heard her bark and growl but only when she is playing. The Terrier is showing up big time in her appearance and attitude and she loves to dig. She is not keen on the cool mornings or rain so the perfect Florida dog. She is doing great with the house training, goes all night 7-8 hours before going out, the odd little accident but uses her pee pads for that. We got her a soft sided crate for traveling and she has no problem going in it for a few hours while we go out and still loves to go for trips in the truck, so she will be ready to go in a month for her trip. Her vet, Dr. Miki, has her all ready for the trip.

Here is a picture taken yesterday at her favourite digging spot.

Update July '20

Sandi is doing amazing.  She is still this lovable, sweet pup on her 5^th birthday.

Sandi had to spend her first winter here as her Daddy had bypass surgery last year. All is well and he is doing fantastic but she doesn't go far from him now. She had to adapt to a coat and boots, as she doesn't like salt or wet feet, but that didn't take long. She still trains well! Sandi has decided that she likes to garden or at least eat from the garden. She likes her own personal snack plate. Radishes and yellow beans right now are her fav's and she also likes to harvest when we are not looking. Sandi isn't liking Covid too much. She is missing a lot of the kids in the area who visit her and her puppy play time with the neighbourhood dogs. Again, many thanks to you all for helping Sandi find us. I sing your praises and refer as many folks to you as possible.
