Hi Marty and Gensen!

I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Strayer. He's doing really well! He loves being close to my husband and I at all times. He's so attentive to us too, ready to do whatever we want him to. He loves people and little kids. The people at the vet's office think he is the cutest and most well-behaved little guy.

We signed him up for a puppy class that starts next week where he'll learn his basic obedience and have a chance to socialize with other puppies. The trainer also gives us tips on crate-training and house-breaking which she says will increase the bond we have with our pups along with teaching them basic commands. My husband and I have already experimented with sit and down. He's good at sitting and is getting the hang of down.

I'm home all day but I still put him in his crate at least 2x a day so he gets comfortable with it because that's where he sleeps at night. He's doing really well with that, only protesting for a minute and then he's quiet until I let him out. He's starting to sleep through the night which is so nice.

Thank you so much for giving us this joy in our lives. He makes us smile everyday and there's nothing better than that! I hope all the dogs and puppies are doing well!

Thanks!
Katie Stiles
