Holiday lives with us and 5 other dogs(3 GS & 2 Great Danes). Our son (24yrs old)comes home from college and visits when he can. Holiday does very well with company coming over & LOVES our Dog Sitter Candice who also happens to be our Vet-Tec at LBAH. Her and I walk every morning and after work we all go together. Now that her hook & whip worms are gone she has an amazing appetite! She has learned when we leave for work (a few hours a day for me) she goes right in her crate. We also crate trained her for when she needs to keep calm & rest when the heartworm treatment really gets underway. She loves her chew toys and loves her big fenced in yard! We hang out with our dogs EVERY night after work either outside by the pool, or in the yard, or just watching movies.  We truly feel she has been the best addition to our family and fits right in. It’s only been shy of 2 months but sometimes when I look at her it looks like she is just smiling…..I call her my “Grateful dog” we are grateful for her and feel she thinks the same of us.

Thanks for checking in!

Hudson/Rip sleeps in the room with our daughter.  He bonded with her very quickly.  We have continued feeding him the same recipe recommended by the trainer which is comprised of kibble, oats, and pumpkin, drizzled with molasses and mixed with chicken gravy.  He’s house trained and always eager to please.  We’ve discovered that he likes to have his front toes rubbed.  He has about an acre to run in behind our house, and he loves to hunt chipmunks and squirrels.  He responds well to commands and always comes back to the door when he’s ready to come inside.  We can’t wait for spring so we can get out and exercise together.

Rip has definitely found his forever home.  He is a very good and sweet boy who just needs some consistent love, and to finally become assured that he won’t ever have to be without a loving forever family again.  He’s laying at my feet while I write this long overdue response.
