A Letter from "Milo"

We LOVE these follow-up letters and pictures, they seriously make our day. 


Hi E,


I thought I would send you a few pictures and let you know how we are doing.  First of all, it took us all week to decide on a name!  We ended up naming him Milo.  It was the only name that all of my kids agreed on.  Second of all....we LOVE him!  Oh my gosh, he is the best!  He is so sweet and fun and perfect.  He started sleeping through the night Friday night and continues to do so.  I have him in a crate which was a little rough at first.  I ended up sleeping with a blanket and pillow next to the crate for the first few nights to keep him calm.  House training is going well too.  The accidents seem to not be as often, which is great!  


I took him to the vet on Saturday and he weighed 16 lbs!  I walked into the packed waiting room and you would have thought I had walked in holding a movie star!  Everyone in the room gasped and had to come over and pet him.  All I heard was "a Bernese Mountain Dog" from everybody.  Even the 2 receptionists came from around the counter to pet him.  He was quite the star!  He is also quite the hit in our neighborhood.  Two different times yesterday our doorbell rang with a neighbor holding a plate of cookies and asking if they could come in and see our puppy.  We all thought it was so funny to get cookies and then "can we see your puppy?".  You will notice in one of the pictures that he has found the perfect sleeping spot.....right on top of the a/c vent!  When he's not playing he's laying on top of a vent somewhere in the house.  


I wanted you to know how much we love him and how well he is adjusting.  When we had our lab puppy I wanted to die!  She was so hard!  It has been the complete opposite experience with Milo.  We are enjoying every minute with him!


I hope things are going well with you.  I read on your blog that you have one puppy left!  It must be so quiet around there!


Take Care,


J.
