Hi Barb- Sorry we haven’t checked in for so long! Hilde is doing really well. (Ivy/Captain pup) She is a happy, happy girl. She is really well behaved and seems to almost anticipate commands before I give them. In this picture she had spent the weekend snow shoeing, going to the park and out and about around town. She loves to go with us when we do errands on the weekend. She LOVES to go to Chuck and Don’s the pet store. She often gets treats and always gets lots of love. When Hilde is the most tired and really wants to sleep she settles in on the corner of the couch with the pillows as shown in the picture. Good thing the couch is Golden Retriever colored! -Amy and Ray
