Chika(Now Izzy)'s update!

Chika has gone to her forever home on the island, and is now known as Izzy!

And Izzy is having a great time there already!

Here is the update from her new family!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

We love our little girl! We decided to name her Izzy!

She did really well on the ferry. She trembled a lot but managed to have a little snooze!

Last night she was so good. She didn't whine or fuss. She loves her new squishy bed!

This morning I was greeted to a waggly tail and kisses! She was a little nervous of Lily but as you can see, a nice walk together in the woods helped that!!

Now she having a snooze after peeing in the house!! Never mind! She didn't pee/ poop at all durning her walk! Too much going on, too many new smells and new puppy friends to make!

Thank you again! We couldn't be happier!

I'll keep you up dated!
All the best
Sarah!

Here are some pics from Izzy's first day with her new family!

I miss that little "Cheeky" girl, but I am so happy she found such a great home to call her own!

Have a great life with your new family Izzy!

Carlin is doing very well! But is missing his sister! He hasn't really wanted to play outside as much the last couple days. He goes outside, goes to the bathroom, but then even if I throw balls or try to engage him in play, he doesn't pay much attention and instead runs into the house and sniffs by all the doors. I believe he is looking for Izzy. He also sometimes gives a little howling call at night but quiets down pretty fast. He is just missing her, and is calling for her. But when he hanging out with us in the house he is quiet as a lamb! He just gets lonely at night. But today he had tons of fun playing chase with me in the backyard so he is already getting back into his playful grove! It's crazy how fast most dogs adapt to change!

In even better news - Carlin is pretty much housetrained! He has not had an accident in the house in about a week! The "pretty much" part comes into play because we have not seen how long it will last yet. Hopefully, he is housetrained and no more accidents! But it's probably safer to wait a few more weeks without an accident before I would declare him fully housetrained as he is still a puppy!

He is such a little bundle of joy! And is very smart in asking for things! If he knows its meal time he will run over to where he knows I store the food and sit in front of it! And if he has to go to the bathroom, he will stand by the backdoor! What a smart fellow!

And adding to that - as he has been doing so great with his "Paw" command, I have promoted him to the next level, "Other Paw"! He is already getting it! I say "Paw" and he will give me his right paw. If I say "Other Paw" he will lift his left paw! He is still a little slow with the left, as he is still learning it, but I only wait a second or so and he will lift his left paw :) And his "Down" command is coming along nicely! He is getting much better at staying lying down as I stand back up and waiting until I give him the "OK" and a treat before getting up.

Carlin also has some interest in him! Yay! Paws Crossed for this sweet little boy!

Will update more soon!
