Just a quick note to let you know Tori is doing just fine. I reread your first note to me telling me "Dolly" was like her mother and a bossy little girl, no truer words were ever spoken. She has our beagle to boss and play with,we should change Ms. Bea's name to Aunt Bea,Tori has even tried to find the nursing equipment on Ms Bea. Tori has gone to the barn everyday she has been here and already has chores,she runs when we take our runs and runs along when we go on our shorter bike rides. I will have some photos in the very near future coming your way. Needless to say we are quite smitten with our girl. Such a bright and calm animal a true delight. I have seen many dogs over the years ,I founded the protective animal league in our county,Tori has all the quailties one hopes to find in a dog friend. She already has a protective bark ,a friend who we allow to hunt on our property came into our house ,Tori was sleeping under my chair and when she awoke and saw a stranger in our doorway she had a fit. We all thought it was just as it should be. Thank you again for a wonderful pup.

P.S. my vet proclaimed her 'an excellent pup"!

Dear Peg,

Tori "our dream girl" was spayed and came through the whole experience very well. I can't say enough good things about her. She is begining to resemble Belle in the face ,who I happen to think is absolutely beautiful and intelligent looking. My husband is quite smitten with Tori ,if she is not on sheep duty then she can be found helping Mark with one of his projects.

Tori and I are off to get the paper. She carries it up our long hill everyday and also brings in selected mail everyday. She will also bring Mark his glasses to the downstairs if he has left them upstairs. Even our prince Romeo who has never played with or interacted with another of his species,plays and only growls about 10% of his capacity. She of course totally ignores any of his fuss.

Can you tell we LOVE her she is the best pet I have ever had. The most intelligent and delightful. Good work mama Peg !!!

Teresa
