Gotti

Hi Kathy, We have named Gotti, Marlin Maddren. Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you but we went on vacation for a week with Marlin and it's been busy here. We went to the FL Keys on vacation so we were able to bring Marlin almost everywhere with us for a week. It was a great bonding time for the 3 of us. Marlin is so sweet and adorable. From day one he cuddles in the bed with us. He is a great cuddlier. The first 2 1/2 weeks were a bit challenging with the house breaking (potting training). But he is doing great now. We have a dog sitter come to the house at lunch time during the week. She takes him out to play and feeds him lunch. He really enjoys playing Frisbee and running around in his fenced back yard. Marlin weights 45 lbs. now and is 5 months old. He has lost 3 baby teeth, that we know of, in the past 2 weeks so teething is full on now but luckily he is great about chewing on bones and not furniture. Yay! Marlin has learned to walk on a leash, sit, lay down and loves to go on car and boat rides. We have also been able to have him go paddle boarding with us serval times. He is getting used to the water pretty good now. I will email several photos separately (file size issue) we have also created Marlin Maddren a Facebook page (Peter, foster dad, and Cindy Hobbs are fiends on his page). We have switched to our vet because they are so close to us and a personal friend of ours (Dr. Paul Wolf). We live about an hour north of your Vet's office so it's hard to get down that way. We would like to thank Peter (foster dad), Cindy, Justin Bartlett and the rest of the Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue team for all of your hard work and kindness. We are so in love with Marlin. He is really a joy to have in our lives and we are so lucky! Anne and Mitch Maddren
