January 24, 2009 - Happy Gotcha Day, Onyx!
January 26, 2009 - “Onyx” now known as “Loco” (that means “Crazy” in Spanish. My kids named him after my father who played professional soccer in Mexico – that was his nickname) is settling in great. He is such a good dog. Got his first bath yesterday and not even a whimper. Loco has been running around the neighborhood with our kids (and every child and adult in the neighborhood for that matter). We had to keep bringing him in the house for some nap time to restore his energy. I attached a couple pictures of him. Thank you.
January 26, 2009 - Loco, “formally known as Onyx” which is now Little Loco, loves to cuddle and run and jump! He pees a ton, so we take him out once an hour. We are training him with small treats and a bell when he goes to the bathroom outside and he really seems to be picking it up. We hope by the end of week, he is potty trained. He didn’t like his new leash the first day here, but he is adjusting to it better. We have a large pet pen for him to sleep in at nighttime and we tried to put him in there the 1st night, wow, missed us too much so we let him roam in our kitchen. Much better. Well, his 2nd day with us, we played and napped and played and napped, with the entire family. So, when it came for bedtime alone again, Little Loco didn’t want to be alone! He cried for a short time, then fell asleep. When he woke up, he called for us, bright and early! He absolutely loves people and other dogs and plays with all his new toys too. He is a wonderful puppy and we can’t wait to take him with us on all our adventures! The kids all wanted to take pictures with them to school, so Tony printed them up last night. They hated leaving Loco to get on the bus this am and when the bus went around the block to pass us again, the entire neighborhood of elementary kids on the bus were all standing up waving to Loco! It was very cute!
Well, thank you for everything Lab Friends has done for us. Our girls are always having lemonade sales and they try to think of different ways to donate the money. We already talked about donating our first lemonade sale to Lab Friends of the South!
April 20, 2009 - A quick Loco update….he weighs 44 lbs, kind of likes the tennis ball but absolutely loves to chew sticks. His butt still wiggles when he is happy and wags his tail. He adapted very well to the invisible fence, likes to go on walks, but grabs part of the leash in his mouth to try to walk himself–very cute.
