Now named Mindy, our Mimi went to live with Janelle and Steve.

They write, "Just wanted to touch base with you to let you know that Mindy (Mimi) is doing wonderful! We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful dog.

She sleeps through the night, yes on our bed, and prefers to be touching both of us at the same time. Bubba, the calico cat really likes her puppy food, maybe that will be the trick to get her to gain some weight. Mel (the hiding cat) has come out of hiding and she and Mindy have a good time chasing each other. Actually Mindy pretty much runs around and comes back to Mel to get a couple of pats (punches) on the head. But then Mel hides and jumps out at her as well :)

We're very happy everyone is getting along. We took Mindy to a familly bar-be-que on Sunday and got more than one offer to dog sit should we ever need it. She played well with the kids and enjoyed many adult laps!

Thanks again for letting us adopt Mindy. Please tell her foster mom that we are grateful for the care and training that she gave her."

An update from Janelle and Steve:

"We are doing very well, and still believe we are the luckiest people on earth. Mindy is a treasure; she is learning come, wait, sit and potty outside (still needs a little work with the potty outside), but all is good.
 

The 4th fireworks were a concern for us as our area is very active. She sat up a couple of times, we went to bed about 8pm and she slept through the bulk of it. She even went outside to potty when things were going on!

We've read "Cesar's Way" and "Chihuahuas for Dummies," as your website suggested. Both have been very helpful.
