Recently Adopted

	Chester Here is Chester and his new mom, Charlene. Happy as a clam in sand. What more could a corgi want than loving arms to be held in!
	Thurston Castaway Thurston Howell, now know as Cash, found a wonderful home with a new family here in Marathon County, WI., in July. So I will get to see him. He was immediately taken with "his" new children and is enjoying daily walks and even has been going camping! What a lucky Castaway! He had a rough start in life and now is getting the love he so deserves! He has a good job now of keeping these delightful kids happy and I am sure he will bring years of corgi fun to them.
	Maizey I wanted to give you an update on Maizey (formerly Lovey).  She's been doing great!!!  She is starting to get better at her walks, meaning she doesn't need to be carried as much during them to keep up with her younger and quicker brothers.  Also, she is slowly starting to try to play with them.  She doesn't quite know what to make of them when they are running around all crazy, but the other night she started to chase our other Corgi Desmond in the yard.  He loved it!!!   She is playing more and more with her toys and especially loves this orange monkey that squeals and makes her come running and cocks her head at it.  She definitely loves her treats and is getting better about not pottying in the house, but not quite perfect yet.   Here are some more pictures of her, hope all is well with the other Castaways.   Ryan, Rachel and Maizey
	Gidget We wanted you to know Gidget is doing very well, has staked out her favorite spot, and is definitely our little princess.  I take her to farmer's market, and Pet Smart.  She likes riding and enjoys outings.  She's good with some dogs, not others (doesn't seem to care much for Pugs). She's great with people, too.  So, thanks again - we love her! Ed and Sheila
	Cooper Cooper came to us as an out of control corgi that just needed an understanding and gentle hand to guide him into the good life. He sure is enjoying his forever home with his new parents, Dan and Don in Minnesota. The following is a note from the people that Cooper owns! Hi there, It has been a while since we checked in with you but just thought I would send some pictures of our recent "family" vacation. Cooper doesn't much care for water but he sure had a good time exploring. He is doing so well. We could not have asked for a more loving, beautiful dog. Don, Dan and Cooper
	Skipper
	Sadie I just wanted to let you know that Sadie is doing great here with me.  She is at a consistent and healthy 25 lbs. and will apparently eat almost ANY type of food, including banana peels if I would let her!  She is very good with everyone she meets and has even won over my mother!  My mother gets the biggest kick out of watching Sadie hide and later "find" her rawhide treats.  (attached is a pic of her hiding a treat in a basket at my mom's house)  My 26 yr. old son said, 'She's so cute it hurts!'  I can totally understand why her previous owner called her Snuggles - she is very affectionate and is rarely out of my sight.  Sadie has brought a wonderful change to my life and I thank you for making it possible. Sue

Bo I wanted to again thank you for bringing Bo into my life, we get along great. I have enclosed a photo of Bo taken in his back yard just a couple of days ago. We have completed a six week obedience class recently and learned a lot about each other. I wanted to pass along my admiration to you and all that Lakeshore does to bring these animals and their stewards together. It’s amazing how well we have bonded; he is usually close by and happy.

Romeo He is a lover, isn't he !!! The name just fits him. We have had long talks and I told Romeo he is home now and not moving anymore. He is such a snuggler. He likes all the attention we give him. Thanks for my wonderful boy and all you've done for both of us.

Rascal Happy New Year. Just a quick note to say Hi. Everything is going great down here in Madison. Rascal spent a week at camp grandparents with two other dogs and seems to have had a great time. Aimee and I are getting better and better at talking so Rascal can understand, and he is listening better each month. We finished another 6-week agility class which is fun and allows us to have more faith in Raskal around other dogs while 'off-leash'. We are taking a small break from agility - there are plenty of other fun activities to try. He just loves the snow and chasing snowballs.

Ella Ella is wonderful !  She sat next to me Sunday and watched football.  Loves to be petted.  She plays hedgehog with Luke.  She even pretends she doesn't know where he threw it occasionally so that Charlie gets a turn.  Isn't that sweet?

Sunny Just a note to let you know that everything is going well with Sunny! She seems to be adapting very good. Her and Tigger started playing together real nice yesterday. She didn't want to get in Dave's car yesterday when he was going on a short ride, but I think she was worried that he would take her away from our home and not bring her back, so she came back into the house and stayed with me. The grand kids (ages 4 and nearly 3) were over for a bit last night .

Ginger Ginger has already learned her name and is coming when called. She is VERY smart. We have had absolutely no chewing issues with her. The few times she has gotten a hold of something she shouldn't you tell her to sit and offer her something else and she's drops the item. She really is a very well mannered dog.

Farley Farley is growing and changing so much! His ears stand up most of the time, but they droop when he is pooped out. I have attached some pictures of our camping trip. He wasn't too fond of biking, but LOVED canoeing. He jumped out of the boat and swam along next to us-- it was too funny. He has a cute little life jacket for when we go boating-- and he knows what it means when we put it on him-- he gets so excited! I am also happy to report that he has graduated obedience school!

Cody Cody is such a happy dog! We love his energy and enthusiasm. He likes to be with us, but he's also good about entertaining himself. Lately, he's been whiling away the hours chasing grasshoppers. He wades and swims, loves to ride in the car, and has fun with other dogs. Thank you for letting us have this wonderful little creature.

Danny Danny has settled in nicely. He adores the kids and the one cat, he hasn't won over Gracie, the other cat yet. We celebrated his birthday and the kids got him a stuffed duck, it quacks when he picks it up. We are so glad to have him. Thanks, Lakeshore for making if possible.
