Hi
Fredericka and Lucy,
A
quick update on how things are going with George . He has turned
into our dream dog. He is so incredibly well behaved, smart and
just a great additional to our family.
He is
a little over 4 and half months now and around 65 pounds. The vet
and staff love him. One tech assistant even had to have a picture
taken with him to show her husband. Our vet said he was the
healthiest and biggest he's ever seen and was floored to hear that
he won't drool as much as an E-Mastiff.
He's
started puppy classes and is of course the largest puppy in the
group. He is also the calmest and smartest - of course I have to
say that since he is our pup :>) It's hilarious watching him in
the class because he's so calm and relaxed that he literally falls
asleep while the instructor is talking. My husband continuously
has to wake him up to do the training exercises. There was
one exercise wHere the instructor tries to lure him away with
yummy treats and we have to call him back. It took only one time
and the instructor could not get him to come to her again. They
tried at least 3 times with no luck, wow!
We
also just went to the beach and he loved it. He ran around on
the sand in water for hours. I figured he would stop and rest for
awhile, but he just wanted to be with us and have fun the whole
time. By the time we could back to the house, he slept for at
least 6 hours straight. We also found that his favorite chewies
are sticks, branches, mulch...anything wood item he can get his
teeth in. He has to walk past our front door which has flowers
and mulch on the right side and it never fails, every single time
we walk back to the house, no matter how hard I try, he always
finds a large chunk of mulch to chew on. Too funny. George is
just a great dog from top to bottom. Even my parents are always
surprised how quite and relaxed he is. They were a little worried
since they are in their 70's and would not be able to handle a
large puppy and they were literally "Wowed" by how sweet he is
with them.
The
pictures are from the first two days when we picked him up. We
will never forget our trip, it was a wonderful experience for our
family with George, snow and everything :>) I'll send updated
pictures as soon as I can get them off my camera. George does not
look like the little puppy in those pictures anymore, he is our
big boy!
I
just wanted to send you guys a quick hello and an update and to
say thank you for letting us add George to our family. He is
truly an amazing dog and great representative of
A-Mastiffs. Thanks again so much for George and we will be sure
to keep in touch and let you know how things are going.
Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts,
The
Gordons
