 March 18, 2012 - Update from Nancy: "We are doing well. Axel is just so much fun, even if his teeth are sharp. He gets lots of visitors and loves everyone. He can jump onto every piece of furniture we have now. No more safe zones! Hamish and Flash are doing well with him." 
 
 April 8, 2012 - Axel is growing like a weed. He loves to be outside and play. Axel will be starting a puppy class soon. 
 April 21, 2012 - Update from Nancy: "We have had a busy week. Axel had his 16 week shots and weighed in at 18 pounds. This morning he had his first session with his new groomer and he did really well. And what a handsome boy he is! We are starting our puppy class in early May (finally) and that should be lots of fun. He is doing so well and is such a fun little guy to have around. Of course, crawling into my lap to chew on his bone wins him big points, so he knows how to work his mom."  June 10, 2012 - Axel update: "We finished puppy class this afternoon. Axel is proudly sporting his graduatlion bandana. He's done really well with the training we've done. In one class the trainer brought in kids toys. One of them was a kind of rock wall to climb and then go down the other side on a slide. Axel was the first one to do it, and most of the other dogs were kind of afraid of the toy. I told everyone he had a tunnel and teeter totter in his puppy pen. He was the star that day!  September 29, 2012 - Nancy and Axel (and their team) participated in the 20th Annual Wag -N- Walk for the Cheyenne Animal Shelter Foundation. Their team took first place, second year in a row, for amount of donations! Way to go team!!!! |
