I just wanted to write and let you know that our first night with little Herbie was GREAT!!! � He is such a good boy!

�

We went to Petco last night and got a kennel/crate, food, bowls, a leash, toys, treats, etc. etc. and he was set!! � He loves his little round bed you brought for him too, thank you!

�

Attached are a couple pics of the little guy I took last night and first thing this morning after his walk!!!

�

I went home at lunch today �to check on him in his new crate, and he was sound asleep. :)

I will keep you posted, but he's definitely adjusting very easily and is so much fun!! � I love him so much already.

Thanks again for everything!

Erin

Herbie is doing so great!! �He GRADUATED last Wednesday night from an 8-week training class at PETsMART (a couple pics are attached)...he's so dark it's hard to make out his cute little face, BUT he's wearing a mortarboard graduation hat (how adorable is that?) and was so proud of himself!!!!

�

He's made lots of doggie friends, and loves the trips to the dog park and shopping at the Biltmore and Petsmart.

�

I'll also email you another recent pic that I know will make you laugh and will continue to keep you posted on his progress. �He's been such an amazing addition to our family and so much fun.

�

Best wishes

Erin says that Herbie is WONDERFUL and has made such an incredible addition to their little family!!! � (and they did keep his �name). She said that she seriously �couldn ��t imagine what their lives were like before him!!!! � With friends and family, he's earned several different nicknames including: "Herbie the Lovebug", "Herbie the Love Schnoodle", "Herbalicious", "The Herbinator", "Notorious D.O.G.", etc. etc.

�

Highlights �from the last �8 months �include: 1. He graduated from PETsMART's beginning dog obedience training class back in July. 2. He loves going to the dog park and Starbucks/Einstein's �every weekend with his best buds - �Max (a �9 lb. Yorkiepoo) and Davis (a 95 lb. Labrador retriever) He ��s soooo popular! J 3. He's going on his first plane ride tomorrow morning for the Thanksgiving holiday to visit his "grandparents" in Texas! Erin says he is very excited! �He got all his health clearance from the Vet earlier this week, and she said he's in perfect health. 4. He's an upstanding citizen and philanthropist according to his proud mommy, walking with her in several charity 5K ��s. Erin says he �loves all the people and excitement! �

�

Erin is ever so grateful to RESCUE for bringing Herbie into their lives, and ��choosing �� them to be his parents. We think they are pretty darn special too! She asked to extend Happy Thanksgiving wishes to all of our caring RESCUE volunteers, and a special ��shout out �� to foster mommy Tracy! There is no reason to worry, ��Herbalicious �� (I love it!) is living the high life!
