We're Hearing From Our New Adopters!

Kiba is one of Lady's pups. He was adopted before we had even given him a name. His name is now Kiba!
Thank you so much for working with us to adopt our puppy, Kiba. He is doing very well so far and we are so happy to have him in our home. He is such a smart puppy and is learning so fast. He is coming along with house-training (he still has some way to go), and has learned several commands. He has been doing "Sit" since Friday and "Lie Down" very well since yesterday. He is also doing very well on the leash so far. We are very proud of him and the success and intelligence that he has demonstrated thus far.

He will have his first vet visit tomorrow afternoon. We have written a list of all the questions we have for the vet, as we are new puppy parents and want to be sure he as healthy as possible. We hope he will do well, but so far he is very friendly with strangers so I don't think we have anything to worry about.

We also took him on his first shopping experience at Petco. We showed him many toys, but he only seemed mildly interested. A few minutes later, he pulled a toy from the rack himself and was so excited that we just had to buy it (especially since at that point, he had already started playing with it and got his puppy slobber on it). He wanted to carry it around the store by himself he was so excited. He loves his new toy along with the green and white stuffed toy that he got from you.

We also found a great park close to our apartment where we can take him to explore. He loves finding sticks, but does not quite get the concept of fetch yet. He also loves lying on the grass (and sometimes eating the grass, as you know). We also found a nice close walking trail with a small stream. He was quite sure about getting his paws in the water at first, but he is brave and crossed the second time with no trouble.
We cannot thank you all enough for your help and will be sure to send pictures as he gets grows.
