Penny is amazing!
Thought I would send you an update on Allie. I hope you are not offended, but we did start calling her Penny. She didn't seem to respond to Allie, so we figured it wouldn't stunt her training too much. "Penny" has long been my favorite name, and since she is my new best friend it seemed fitting to give her a name that is special to me.
Penny is amazing! If I were to craft the perfect dog for me, she would be it. She is the perfect blend between super-athelete and couch potato. Her and Rookie will play until either we stop them or they run out of energy. She is the best thing that could have happened for Rookie, as well. I have never seen Rookie stay interested in anything or anyone for more than 20 minutes. They will play for hours!!!! Seriously...they chased, tugged, wrestled, etc. for 5 hours, non-stop on sunday. It is truly remarkable. Rookie has matured overnight into a watchful, caring older sister and never misses a chance to show Penny the ropes.
We have some work to put in on her manners, but that is what I wanted. I wanted a pup that I could devote my time to and develope that trust with. I can tell it breaks her heart when she doesn't do something right. She desperately wants to do the right thing and I have all the time and patience in the world to help her.
Your organization is quite renown! I was chatting with my chiropractor about Penny and she asked where we found her. Turns out her favorite dog from a few years back came from Safe Harbor. I have also spoke with a handful of folks in my office about your program and they are very impressed and intend to keep an eye on your site for their future companion.
Thank you for helping us find Penny. Without a doubt, she was the missing piece in our little family.

Lilly aka Delilah (Deli) ...is a SWEETHEART!
"Tonight, instead of hanging more curtains in my house, I rehung ones I'd already put up. Now why would I want to re-do work I'd already done? Delilah=1, Curtains and rod=0. On the positive side, she's 9 lbs of awesome at tug of war."
That status came after coming home from work yesterday and being SO nervous about having her in the kennel all day. But guess who met me at the door? An escape artist! The latch on the kennel wasn't quite right and she figured it out. (bought new kennel last night after knowing borrowed kennel latch was broken!) She was in my house for who knows how long just roaming free. A couple of messes (expected) and some curtains pulled down, but that's it. She didn't chew anything, break anything, or potty on anything. Good girl!
My daughter has 3 Lily's in her class and decided she didn't want to call our dog the same thing. After A LOT of debate between an 8 and 10 year old, they came up with Delilah. She is actually getting called Deli (like deli sandwich) for short. She is a SWEETHEART! We have yet to hear her bark, although she does get a good growl on. Strangely she has reserves those growls for men. She seems very suspect of men, but not of women or children. I thought she might be partial to men after being at Lansing? My girls and their friends have given her so much love and Deli LOVES all the little girls. Insists on being right in the middle of the mix. She even rode on the merry go round at the park because she couldn't stand not doing what they were doing.

His manners were impeccable!
I know you must be sick of me by now, but I just had to send a pic of Chubby in the bark park today. He was such a good boy and he made special friends with a grey hound. It looked so funny, the two of them racing around the park together! We took him to a restaurant afterwards and sat outside on the patio. His manners were impeccable! he took his spot under the table and stayed there throughout the entire meal- no begging and no bothering other diners. His trainers did such an excellent job, I can't believe it. I think we can take him to the office every day. Also, the only stairs he won't tackle yet are those going from the first floor to the walk out basement (which is a shame because we spend most of our time there and in the kitchen. Bill has been carrying him down the steps when he cries, but I don't think its a good idea. I think he will do it when he gets desperate enough to join us. I just wanted to sen you another email because I can't believe what a perfect match this boy is for our family. Thank you again. I will write later as Chubby gets settled so you have something to share with his trainers. We owe them a huge thanks too. I want them to know how much they, and Safe Harbor have done for us!

Just a quick update for you. Bella (Daisy Dane) has been a member of our household for almost two years now. She is doing great and just passed her pet partners test. We plan to begin work as a therapy team in the near future.
