Lexy

Lexy is doing GREAT! She is learning our routine quite fast.  She goes to Flint River Puppy Pre-School and Obedience Training on Monday Wednesday, and Friday and LOVES it!  They take them on nature walks, do obedience training and she gets interactions with other dogs.  She goes in on her days and once in the gate, gets around to socialize and say hi to all the other dogs.  It's so cute!

We take Lexy on walks around the neighborhood and she has a big back yard to romp in.  She has not had one single accident in the house and has slept through every single night since we have had her.  After her last trip outside at night, she goes straightway to the crate and lays down.  We keep her in the bedroom with us and I keep a lightweight coverlet over the crate so she is shielded somewhat from lightning, or lights we might put on in the night.  She has been wonderful so far.

We are now all starting to bond a little more.  She has to get to know her surroundings and be comfortable with them.  Then she can concentrate on really bonding with us, but so far, we think she has done very well.  Her mange is clearing up and her coat is coming in quite nicely.  The vet increased her dosage and once that is done, we will be starting the flea and tick meds.  We have an appt with her Monday to have all that checked.

Hope you're doing well!  I talked to Josey the other day for a long while on the phone.  She answered alot of my questions and concerns about confidence building which Lexy has a few issues with.  She gets spooked quickly in crowds or with loud noises and the trainers are working through those issues with her.  We had her at the dog park last weekend, and she was doing fine, but got spooked at the trains going by and jumped the fence.  I had to chase her down with the leash.  Will approach that a little more cautiously next time! :) 

Thanks again for all you did.  Lexy is growing on us every day.  We know we made the right choice with her.
