Oaklie is doing
great, and we are having so much fun
together! We went on a road trip to Missoula last
weekend
with her, and she loves riding in the
car. She is having her
second round
of shots
tomorrow afternoon. She goes to puppy
play time each week at the veterinarian's office, and we have taken
her
to puppy day care a few times, so she can meet
new friends. She has quickly become used to meeting new
people and going new places, and she
gets e
xcited e
verytime she goes to the
vet!
She is such a
great dog, and we couldn't be happier with her! Here are some
more pics of our Oaklie.
Take care!

Take care!11/19/08 Hi Carolyn: Here are some pictures of our sweet little girl! Her name is Oaklie. S
he is
settling in very well, and
hasn't cried too
much. We are keeping her pretty busy with walks, playing in
the
yard, and even a trip to PetSmart! We are trying to crate
train
her, and she seems to be doing pretty well with it; whines for just a
bit, and then settles right down. She enjoys relaxing in her little portable
"bedroom." For her second round of shots, she did
very well.
There were other dogs in the waiting area, and it was the first time we
heard her bark! Very cute. She thought she was 
pretty
tough! Thank you again for everything!
Oaklie is an amazing little girl -- very laid back and very
loving! She is a cuddler, and we are enjoying every minute
with her. We will be in
touch with more pictures and more updates. Have a great week!
Kellie and JasonOaklie took on mostly labrador traits, with a smooth silky coat. She is very eager to please, comes running when called, and is a snuggler. She loves eye contact and nose contact. Her coat shouldn't need grooming, but how much will she ultimately shed? We look forward to updates from this Lavender girl and her active Billings couple, who took the puppy plunge. They anticipate training her to be a well-rounded city dog, country dog and maybe even a bit of a hunter. Oaklie should be a natural.
