Happy Tails -- Hope




We recently celebrated the one year anniversary of Hope's adoption day.

We can still hardly believe how lucky we are to have such a wonderful pup. We're so happy that she chose us (at our initial meeting she charged over to say "hi" before it was even her turn to meet us)!

Thanks to some basic obedience lessons from Greg at Gateway Dog Training, she has matured a lot in the last year. During this time Hope has shown an affinity for swimming, but it wasn't until Greg told us that he taught her how to swim that we realized she didn't really know how.

Wherever she goes, people are always sad to see her leave and often ask to take her home with them! Our two cats have clearly established a pecking order and Hope is at the bottom! She is wonderful with our niece and two nephews, who she visits quite often. They roll on her, give her commands, pull, poke and all other things that kids do. Hope takes it all in stride and readily comes back for more!

We can't believe that it's already been a year since Hope joined our family and can't imagine our life without her. Thanks HOTLab for rescuing this wonderful dog so that she could become a member of our family!

Wasn't that a nice update? Remember Save a Life and your life will forever be saved. www.hotlabrescue.org
