Bernie is doing fine.  We forgot how much trouble a young dog can get into; nothing to be concerned 
about, just some normal Weim things.  He is adjusted to the point that he is listening to the house rules 
and is getting settled into our routine.  He is a great dog with a very active personality.  I have had them 
both out  in the field together.  So far, without the distraction of other dogs and of course no birds yet, 
they both work in front of me very well.  They don't compete for the same space and they crisscross 
each other well.   I cannot wait until the season to get a real good chance to work with two dogs.  

Allie is doing fine. Her job learning "country life" is progressing.  She is learning to get the mail and the evening paper. 
Boxes are about 100 feet from the house.  A snap, unless there are birds around. She is a bird dog, so birds are to be 
chased if you are outside. Barked at if you are inside. I have a bird feeder right outside my frontwindow. She spends
a lot of time at the window harassing them. Allie goes out with me when I'm working in the back yard. Yesterday
afternoon she spent quite a while bouncing at the cows and calves through the fence.  When I went to the 
barn to feed in the evening, my daughter Sherry was here. After everyone was in the barn eating, Sherry brought 
Allie out. She had a hard time getting her to come in the barn, She finally made it and had lots of new smells to
snuffle.  Allie gets worried if she comes in the house and can't find me. I leave the back door open so she can 
go in and out during the day. (flies too-oh well!) She zips around through the roomsuntil she hears me, comes 
and gives me a smooch, then quiets down.

Cooper is doing very well.  He has blended right in with the family.  I think he likes being a farm dog! 
This week he got to experience the joy of trimmed horse hoof or as we call it "hoofie".  He is a bit of a 
chow hound and we have to be vigilant about keeping food away from him---especially butter cubes. 
All in all, he's fitting in quite nicely. 

Wanted to let you know that Buddy is doing great and as you can see by the picture, the cat is a none issue.   You were right about just giving it enough time and Buddy sort of ignores the cat.  We have been trying to get a picture of the two of them drinking out of the same water bowl at the same time.  He is a very happy boy that has adjusted well to our family.  He loves Amos and always wants to right beside him. We can't thank you enough for finding us a perfect match.

Kenya is doing just great. She's really thriving in this environment, and I think ourlifestyle and family makeup are 
just right for her. She seems secure about her place in the pack and hasn't shown any signs of anxiety such as the 
poop eating you mentioned or attempts to annihilate her surroundings. She cracks us up with her silly behavior, 
brings us little joys with her acts of love and devotion and occasionally challenges us with her willful spirit. She 
learned the house rules quickly, although she likes to test them every now and then to see if we've forgotten or 
gone soft, but we know perfectly well how to be benevolent dictators.

Roxy no longer plays leap frog with the furniture, she sleeps in her own bed. Miraculously, no cookies have gone missing!  Roxy has bonded very well with Mark. She is very enthusiastic about her walks and rides. She loves attention – and gets lots of it!  She is a great dog!

Well, we are doing just great! The trip home was no problem; Mark and I
took turns snuggling with her in the back seat. When we arrived at our home,
she trotted around and checked out each room and seemed to like her new
digs. Gracie has been a delight! We have been very clear and consistent with
any "house rules", and she has readily cooperated. She barks when visitors
stop by, but once she's introduced and given the OK, she welcomes the person - hey, must be someone new to play with! She enjoyed the hike around Emigrant Lake yesterday as well as her regular shorter jaunts around here. And then there is the tennis ball... She is resting at my feet while I type this awaiting the next adventure!

Gunnar is great!  We love this dog!  He has adjusted beautifully to our house and schedule and is doing very well
 with our constant stream of visitors.  He is especially fond of the high schoolers and "Guitar Hero/Movie Night" 
on Fridays.  He is very obedient and comes when he is called, so he has been able to go to the dog park and run 
off-leash.  He has become a devoted LSU fan and loves his purple and gold fleece blanket (picture).  He has also become 
a big fan of the Corvallis High School girls' softball team, and has gone to all their home games so far.  We need 
to get him a Spartan blue collar to wear for the remainder of the season.  He is so mellow and sweet.  All our 
Easter guests were impressed with his good behavior and good-natured outlook.  No one can believe 
he is still a puppy!  Thanks for helping us find him.

We couldn't be more happy with Tessie! She loves to snuggle under the covers at night. Although once she's down there is no moving her. Grab your blanket before she gets settled or you'll be without.  We're anxious for warmer days so hopefully we can see how she does at the dog park. Or possibly we can start to jog some.  Did I tell you she loves broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, cauliflower and peas? Amazing! She has our hearts! Thanks again for putting us together.
