April, along with her 3 littermates were left at Animal Control by a
person who was on his way out of town for vacation. This person
had bred his lab intentionally but when he could not find homes for
the puppies in time for his vacation, he left them at Animal Control
to fend for themselves.

I just wanted to give you an update on April. Mekayle and the family have
showered her with lots of love, hugs, and playtime and she has returned it 150%.
She enjoys our long walks and fetching toys (well sometimes she brings them
back). She survived her first bath (although I think I got more wet than she did)
and hasn't warmed up to the pool we bought her yet, but all in good time. We've
signed up for two classes through Labest that start tonight and look forward to all
their advice. Picking up pictures later today and will send some after we pick
them up.

Kim and Jackie,
We are sooo excited to have April here as a part of our family!!!!! Monday, the first
car ride with us went well (April didn't get sick). When she got home she was pretty
quiet for the first 20 minutes but then started to follow my daughter around the
house/yard and hasn't left her heels in the past two days. It is so amazing how this is
my "daughters" dog and April has made a connection with her imediately. The first
day home we had no accidents in the home and I just couldn't believe it. We took her
out every hour and set the alarm to take her out during the night. Second home day
and only one accident inside (our mistake/accident) when we didn't act fast enought
when we saw her signs that she needed to go. April also did well in the car for her trip
to the vet on her 2nd day home. April got to meet her new vetrinarian and she was
quite shy. She got her nails trimmed and a complete exam. Her doctor thinks that she
is doing well and answered all our questions. April loves her new home and toys and
does she have toys!!!! She took to her new "crate" very well and seemed to almost
need this space her first night...but her second night home she did whimper/whine for
less than a minute and then went straight to bed. She enjoys laying on a specific rug
in the home on a towel that we had when we picked her up. She also like to climb into
the close basket and lay on clothes that the kids wore. She is so cute. I don't have my
pictures developed yet but will include some in the next update. Again, thanks for
everything and I keep you updated.
