Latte nka Lottie

​​Hi there. I thought you would like an update on Latte or as we call her Lottie. We adopted her in May 2010. She is doing great! Very healthy according to the vet and active. She is going off leash at the barn which I really thought she would never be able to. We have been able to call her off of anything she has started to pursue including dogs, deer and yes a wild turkey. She picked up what we call safety commands around the horses, "away" means to move on and walk in front of the horse that is being led. Her stay is very good now and she knows to stay out of the paddocks. Car rides are her favorite and travels very well in "her" seat (no driver lap ridding here). She has traveled to VA several times to see family and has been excellent on all the trips. We try not to leave her often but had to this summer when our son was redeployed home from Afgan. Our other son watched her for us and said she was miserable so needless to say she travels with us as often as we can take her. She is a talker and lets us know when she feels she is not getting enough attention, it use to bother me until I discovered it bothers the crap out of my brother-in-law, now I just let her finish the story she is telling us. She has a lot of odd little quirks but we have learned to work around them in a positive way. I am sure the good Lord gave her to us because he knew we would deal with them and teach me even more patience. Hubby is showing interest in adopting again so she may be getting a sister sometime in the next year. Thank you again for sending her our way. Dawn and Jim
