Twerp

Hi Kathy! Thank you for contacting me to follow up on our baby! I'm so in awe of the dedication you guys show this cause! I'd LOVE to share some photos and updates! For starters, we renamed "Twerp" when he came home. His name is "Geronimo." (Haha) He didn't seem to know the prior name so it was an easy transition. He's been a great puppy and is loving beyond belief! He's so smart and to date we've been able to teach him "sit", "lay down", "no", "drop it", "in", "let's go", "outside" and we're still working on several others. (I've enlisted the help of a book called "Lucky Dog") He's crate/pen training and so far has knocked that straight out of the park! I have four children whom he simply adores and they couldn't be ANY happier to have him. I have a 9yr old daughter whom suffers from Aspergers syndrome and about the ONLY thing that can calm her down is Geronimo. She has a fraternal twin sister who loves to read to him, and he lays quietly in her lap while she does so. As well, I have ano 8yr old son with hyperactive ADHD and Geronimo's high energy spirit runs the energy out of him until they both pass out in the floor sometimes. (I'll supply a pic! Ha!) My 14yr old son is his favorite and they play for hours! He's also helping the most with training him. My partner, whom was the most reluctant about taking on the responsibility of a new dog is ridiculously smitten with him. She's singlehandedly already his "person"......besides me of course. ;-) He's already become a traveling dog as well. We went home to Kenticky for 2 weeks over the holidays. A 15hr drive. And he blew my mind at how simply amazing he was. We bought a pretty spacious carrier which he laid out in and sleep for 7hrs at a time! Crazy, right??! This dog is a dream! I just want to think everybody at JBAR again for taking such great care of our newest family member before we discovered him. He's brought such joy and happiness to our home! Feel free to share ANY and ALL parts of our update! Hope you guys had an amazing holiday! Best regards, Aretta Combs
