Dakota was the only boy in the litter. He was one of the biggest pups yet kind and soft!
Here are updates on his life in Tenn with Karen and Joe
5-13-08: Dakota arrived last night around 9 in Cookeville and got home about 9:45. He has cried some missing you and all the animal friends in Arkansas. However, we think he is doing great. He has been to town with Joe and up on the farm visiting with the cows and riding in the farm truck. It was love at first sight for us! He is great. Playing and doing well. Our 3 year old grandson came to visit and play tonight and they got along great. We got him an igloo dog house and he goes right in and looks out when he hears us. We are so happy to have him. I think he will be a great retirement buddy for Joe. He seems very smart. Thanks for everything and we will let you know how he is doing. Joe and Karen
5-26-08: This is a Dakota update. He is doing great and everyone is in love with him. Our daughter-in-law helped give him a bath Friday night and the kids play with him. He is a sweetheart. He has already grown so we must be feeding him well. The kids bring him treats, which of course, he loves. He loves to jump in the high weeds or hay field and bring out “stick-tights” in his fur. He jumps in it like he is jumping in water and rolls around. We love him very much and thank you for getting him to us. Hope all his sisters are well.
6/22/08: Dakota is doing great and very happy. We love him! He is perfect. He had grown to about 18 pounds at his first vet visit and when he goes back on July 2, we think he will be well over 20. He plays and loves to run. He plays keep away with me chasing him and we go for walks. He loves to play with our grand-dogs, too.
6/24/08: I am working and spend much of my time when I get home playing with Dakota. He is wonderful. He is very active and plays. He is great getting a bath. At his first vet visit, he had gained about 6 lbs from when you took him right before he left. His next appt is on July 2 and I am sure he will be well over 20 lbs. His hair is growing and changing. He has long white hairs in the black! He plays with the grandchildren and their dog. We love him a lot and are very grateful we found you.
