We went for a walk this morning - and a few last night due to her curiousity about the stuff hitting
the window (plus we needed to take a potty break). Anyway, I thought I'd share these photos with
you that I took this morning. I got her the little cloak b/c she was shivering when it was only 40
degrees out and now it's 20!! The ducks live on the pond by our apt. She had fun, but was
curiously anxious at points - like when trees were lying over the sidewalk :)
Hope you all are doing well.
Happy snow day!

Hello! How are you all? Just thought I'd drop you a note
and let you know how Miss Kylie is doing. She has started
obedience classes and is sort of getting the hang of it.
She's a little shy - especially when the 6 month old German
Shepard barks to say hello to everyone! She has passed a
few "tests" but I can't get her to lay down on "down" for the
life of me :) She'll sit really good and then her bottom just
pops right back up as her front goes down! I've tried all
sorts of ways just to see if anything will work and I'm still
stumped...hopefully we'll eventually figure it out. I've become
more of "pack leader" as the Dog Whisperer says to do
and let me tell you, Kylie has really lightened up when out
and about. She's still skittish and all, but knows I'm there to
lead and protect with a "calm assertive" energy :) Anyway, I
know now that Kylie is what was missing from my life and I
wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving
her and giving her a second chance in my home. She's the
best dog ever! I have a very cute photo of her with her kong
toy and am sending it along. She looks like she's really
thinking hard! It's definately one of her favorite toys -
especially if I stuff it just right! The other picture is from
Christmas eve - she was overwhelmed, but had a good
time getting to know the other family dogs - Keno and Louie.
Happy New Year!
I hope all is well at Hope Rescues!

Good morning, ladies!
How are you all doing? Kylie and I went to the Mardi Gras Dog Parade yesterday!! She was
overwhelmed and a little scared, but her tail did pop up a number of times. So, I'm pretty sure
she liked it, but wasn't sure what all the noises were. Plus, it was pretty crowded. Anyway, it was
fun and she made a new friend, Lauren. She's a lab mix and just a little bigger than Kylie. We
went to the dog park before the parade and she walked around with me off-leash like she was on
an invisible leash! What a good doggie :) I had to take her to the vet last week. She has colitis
which flares up with stress - not surprising with her being such a bundle of nerves. The vet put
her on an antibiotic for the colitis and we decided together to try out ClomiCalm (an anti-anxiety
med) to let her experience the world without her fear/anxiety getting in the way. I already see a
difference. I'm not saying it's a magic pill, rather an aid to realize that the world isn't all that bad.
She was one tuckered out pooch last night after all the fun yesterday morning/afternoon! She
was snoring sooo loud! ha ha Well, I attached a couple photos. The picture of the lady with
black curly hair is my mom with her before the parade. The other is of Kylie and me before the
parade. We were at my friend's place down in Soulard (where Lauren, the lab mix lives). Hope
all is well with you!
