Subject: Bandit -- Brindle Female from Rufus II and Dixie
Ann
Hello Fredericka and Lucy, and
everyone at Flying W Farms!
I wanted to give you an update on our
new little girl Bandit, the brindle female from Dixie Ann and
Rufus II . What a gorgeous, sweet little girl she is! She handled
the 10-hour car ride home to Alabama like a pro, although by the
end she was giving us this look as if to say "I hope this isn't
all you girls do every day, because this could get old". You know
how expressive those little mastiff faces can be (and the big ones
too!). She is adjusting nicely to life in the South and is
already ringing her bells when she needs to potty and fairly
consistent with the command "sit". My husband returned home from
his business trip on Saturday and fell in love with Bandit at
first sight. Thankfully the introduction between Bandit and our
other AM Hero (a fawn female from Rufus and Kacie born on June 8,
2006) went perfectly -- we only had to keep Bandit in the crate
for a few minutes to ensure both girls were pleased with each
other, and then we all went outside and chased tennis balls
:-) Bandit is 100% smitten with her big sister Hero, and Hero for
her part is doing wonderfully with the puppy. Bandit takes every
opportunity that she can to snuggle up with Hero when they nap,
and Hero seems to like the extra attention. It is simply
adorable. I do believe that Hero is looking forward to Bandit
getting bigger over these next few weeks though, so that they can
really start playing together. Bandit's first appointment with
our vet Dr. Wiley was a huge success, and she received an A+ on
her "report card". Everyone at the clinic came in to visit with
"Hero's sister" (Hero is a bit of a superstar there), and they all
said how pretty and sweet and healthy Bandit looked. I've
attached some pictures for you from the drive home to Alabama and
of Hero and Bandit getting to know each other.
We are just so thankful to have
another AM as a part of our family. Thank you again for
everything you do, and we promise to send more pictures and
updates soon!
