Hi All,      It has been a while since we have sent an update so here goes. Since the last of the pups left her weight has been increasing and her health has been good. She eats two cups of food twice a day and loves bones and treats between times. Her weight is between 55 and 60 pounds. Right now she has a few spots that are either hotspots or allergies and she has lost some fur. Both are 'hidden' areas (under her collar and the bottom of her tail) and not noticeable.    Cheryl is house trained and has run of the house morning and night. We leave her out during the day and she has been alone for up to six hours. We are allowing her to lay with us on the beds and couch. She likes it for a little while and then will go off and lay on the carpet. Honestly, we have been debating about keeping her ourselves,(the reason for no recent update); but decided that we would stop fostering if we kept her and we are not yet ready to do that just yet.     Cheryl likes to chew on toys, bones and sticks. She likes to swim and go for boat rides. Exceptionally loud noises scare her (car alarms, fireworks and lightning), yet the vacuums does not. Cheryl like affection, but she is not a 'needy' dog. When we are watching TV, she is happy to watch with us, or go lay down on the cool floor of the other room. Check out the new pictures!    
  
 

Hi All,Cheryl continues to do well. She is a great mom. She has been making good strides. This week, she went down the dark stairwell without any coaxing. She has also be wading in the lake a little more. She enjoys sniffing for bunnies and chipmunks. We go for walks and she does not pull on the lead. She is sending her sponsors lots of love. Here are more pictures for you to enjoy!
