Snickers...

It has been 8 months since we brought her home and I thought you would like to know how she is doing. She is still a bit skittish but getting better. It is obvious that she was abused more than just living in car her first 7 months of life as she is terrified of water and not to fond of men. She is getting better though and no longer turns tail and runs every time she sees someone

new. She still barks at my husband but we decided that's just how she communicates with him as she seeks his attention. She is very protective of me and stays right by my side when I am around. She loves to run in the yard with the kids and has gotten used to going "bye bye". She has gotten off her leash a few times but always stays right by me and has never tried to run away.  She has gained probably about 15 pounds and is very healthy. Loves the dog treats and will sit, lay down and jump for them. The boys have been working on doing tricks with her. She loves playing with the cats and chasing them.
 
Anyway, I am enclosing a recent picture of her so you ca see how she looks. Thanks again and if I ever decide to get another dog, I will definitely be coming to you.
