We are loving our new Luna more and more each day! She is
having a ball twice a day at the off leash dog park in our
neighborhood. She loves to herd the other dogs. She is
responding when I whistle and comes back most of the time. She
is really pooped at the end of the day! Kobe absolutely loves
her too! He talks to her and paws at her to play. Luna has
settled in extremely well!
We went to our vet today and he says she looks great! She was
awesome! She sat and laid down when asked! A model canine patient!
He thinks she is a lab/border collie mix. He couldn't believe we only
had her for three days and he loves her sweet personality. She
barked in the middle of the night last night and I went to see what
was going on. She barked to tell us that Kobe needed to go outside to
do his business.
She doesn't like to get into our vehicles but she will follow Kobe.
Once she is in, she settles down and curls up beside him or actually
sits her bum right on top of him! She loves to watch the squirrels in
the backyard, run around and play with the frisbee and ball with
Kobe. She will be coming up to our cottage this weekend and I bet she
will love swimming!
We are very thankful we visited you last weekend and adopted our
adorable Luna!
Update June '12 ...
Here
are some pics of our pretty Luna (formerly Samantha). We have had her
for two weeks now and she has settled in wonderfully. Kobe, our 2 yr
old lab retriever, is just loving her company. In fact, they are
inseparable as you can tell from the pics I am sending you.
Luna
is a very smart girl and can hold her own at the dog park. We are
working together on dog obedience/manners and she is doing amazingly
well in such a short time period.
We are
really happy we visited the Aylmer SPCA. Luna is enjoying her new
home, dog friends and the cottage.
Thanks
again.
Best
regards,
Marisa and Steven
Update
October '12
Just wanted
to give you and the staff at the Aylmer SPCA an update on Luna
(formerly Samantha) for your Happy Tails section on your website.
Luna has adapted very well to her new environment and family. Over
the summer, she has learned how to swim and run off the dock at the
cottage, went fishing and enjoyed the boat rides at the lake and had
fun playing with her new canine friends at the dog park. I have
worked very diligently on a daily basis with her basic obedience
training and she can now sit, down, stay, heel, come, drop (the ball)
with verbal and hand signals. She is able to perform these commands
on and off leash. The orange ball is her reward ... and she will do
anything to play with that ball at any time of day!
We
are so fortunate that we have her in our lives. We realize that when
we went to visit the Aylmer SPCA that we really didn't know what to
expect as we never adopted a dog before. It didn't take us too long
to realize that Luna adopted us as she came right over to Kobe, Steven
and myself. All she wanted was some affection and some TLC with
boundaries.
We want to
challenge her further so we have just signed up for Beginner Agility
Training. I have also introduced her to the horses that I work with
and she is learning not to go in the paddock area. She gets a little
concerned when I am riding but settles down in a short time. She
loves to run in the country fields with the other dogs and sleeps
very well after a day out in the country. Her best K9 pal is Kobe
(our 2 yr old yellow lab). They are inseparable!!! She loves to
snuggle up with him when they are chilling!
We
are very happy to have Luna in our lives. This has been a very
rewarding experience for our family. Thank you very much for
introducing her to all of us.
Best regards,
Steven and
Marisa
