Dear Susan,What a beautiful day for us! Heidi is truly heaven sent and you were the person who cooperated with God to make it possible. Words cannot express our gratitude and joy at such a beautiful and remarkable puppy. Of course we think she is the most beautiful puppy ever and the smartest by far. All has gone much better than all our imaginings. Her big brother, "Woody" loves her and she adores him. She wants to know where he is at every instant and cries for him if he leaves the room, even when Debra and I are sitting right there. HaHa.We got Woody as a rescue dog in April and he will be two in November. He is the sweetest cocker. While they said he was a pure bred, he seems to look a bit like a Britany to me. Anyway we have invested much in him and he is apparently quite healthy now. I thought he would have his nose bent out of shape at first, but thankfully that didn't happen. He instinctively knew he was to be her protector and big brother. She plays with him constantly and he is so patient and gentle. We, of course, never leave them unsupervised. Heidi has been doing her BM's mostly in the gated exercise pen that aunt Debra purchased. While our backyard is totally fenced, we saw areas that a tiny dog could sqeeze through. The biggest help has been our very large deck. We can all sit outside and watch them play. There are railings all around and a gate to the stairs. Today I did my morning prayer and devotions with the dogs playing at my feet and it was a time of praise to be certain. More later.Love, Sharynne
