Hi Judy,

Here are a couple of pictures, but we will hopefully send you a few more close ups of Maddie sooner than later. She is a wonderful pup and doing fantastic. Well....except for going on walks and short jogs! As you can see from our picture, she has a certain affinity for being strolled or carried :o) Last night she did her first jog with me and made it one loop around our neighborhood (1/3 mile), with some little incentive treats of course! We are being careful to go slowly with her and certainly no farther than that for now until her little puppy bones grow a little more. She is learning to sit, especially before she receives her meals (which for her is a big deal, considering she inhales every bit of it like her last meal was days, rather than hours ago!). She is also learning to lie down, stay, off (usually from Annalise's high chair - a wonderful source of secret snacks!), and her crate and potty training have advanced quickly. She loves to play, and we are really working to replace her mouthing of us, with her toys. We are having a lot of fun with her and really enjoy how much she likes to snuggle. She is such a baby :o) Loves to be tucked into her crate at night, then have one of us sit by her until she falls asleep (which only takes a few minutes) with her "lovee" (a washcloth).

Hope you are all doing well and enjoying Spring!

Blessings, Molly and family ~ Inchelium, WA
