We recently received a very nice update from Sally and Peter, who adopted Angel in January 2009. Then, their daughter adopted Lexi in February 2010. Angel is the brown and white dog and Lexi is the black and white dog playing with her.
Here is what Peter had to say about Angel and Lexi:
"Sorry to have taken so long to report in on Angel, but I've been trying to get a decent picture of her playing with Lexi. They hit it off just great. This is the best I could do. Lexi outweighs Angel by about ten pounds, but Angel is faster. Angel shows no effects of the heartworm problem of last winter. Can't thank you enough for the help. Angel wants to send a little donation to help some other dogs that have to go through what she did. Through that whole time she was awfully good.
The little ragmop on the chaise is Ricky. He's a two year old Shih Tzu that my other son adopted from the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook. He holds his own quite well with the other two. It was really a riot all summer watching Angel, after running around and heating up, just stop and walk down the pool steps, swim in about a six or seven foot circle and come out and start running again. Lexi and Ricky aren't quite into the pool thing like Angel is. If someone takes them in, they don't panic though. They just swim to the steps and get out. Now that school is open, Lexi doesn't get here as much as she did during the summer. They have a great time together though.
Lexi is doing very well also. Both of them just love everybody they meet. Angel has been an angel since day one. She gets a little talkative when she wants someone to play with her, but that's to be expected. Of course she spends her nights on our bed -- usually under the covers. She usually goes out about 7:00, and then heads in to bed. Most of the time she's the last one out of bed in the morning too. Spoiled rotten, but worth it.
Thanks again for a great dog.

Thanks for the update on these two (and lucky Ricky too!)
