Holly from the Adirondack Mts., New York~


Holly gets plenty of exercise galloping up and down the hall as
fast as her little legs will carry her! She is an ENTHUSIASTIC and PLAYFUL
little pup who thoroughly embraces structured play time at least four times a day - which tuckers her
right out.

I've begun to introduce some mini training lessons. She is learning to speak and shake -
and she's so smart she is beginning to "SPEAK" on command - as long as I have
a bit of a puppy treat in my hand that is ! I am also reinforcing behaviors with word commands - such as "crate, sit, lay down, outside, inside,
and stay." I know it will take a while - but she's so intelligent I figure by the time spring rolls around and I have to go back to
work at the antique shop she'll be able to accompany me every day. We won't open until May - but I'll be there working throughout April so
it will give her a chance to acclimate to the surroundings.

It's going to be a fun journey with her traveling by my side! I couldn't be happier or more pleased with her.
She is a perfect little girl.
