I cannot adequately express how much I appreciate Little Mutts for connecting me with Janie (formerly Lafonda). She is a treasure. It took a couple of weeks learning about each other. We had some trial and error with leaving her alone and house training; but once figured out that she was previously crate trained there has been no issues at all. Janie didn’t seem to know any commands at first. I thought perhaps she might have known them in a different language! We have the basics down now. She loves to chase balls at the park and even brings them back about 50% of the time! Janie hasn’t met anyone she doesn’t like and thinks everyone should love her. And of course, they should! Since Janie came from California, I was waiting for snow to see how she would react. Well, she is not a winter dog. She is learning to walk on the treadmill now; a coat and booties help for the outside. 5 months later she is fully part of the family now and I can’t imagine my life without her.
