I thought I would give you an update on how Chloe is doing in her new home. It's been almost 4 months since she came home with us, and she is the absolute love of my life. She has made tremendous progress since October, and has gained about 12 pounds to reach a healthy weight. Her love for me and my family has been so profound every day, and we all can see how happy she is. She lives in harmony with our guinea pig Emma, and sometimes they even lie down and nap side by side, with supervision, of course. She is also crazy about my 3-year-old cousin Charlie, and during the last snowstorm played in the snow for hours with him.

She sleeps in my bed, as I promised you she would, and spends the majority of her day snoozing on the couch or playing with whoever will toss a ball for her. Sometimes, if there's no one around to play with, she'll literally toss the ball to herself! It's very funny! We recently went on our first big trip down to the Cape to visit some relatives, and she had a blast running around in the snow and chasing snowballs.

She is just the most wonderful girl, and she could not have come into our lives at a better time. We lost our labrador mix of 14 years just two months before we found Chloe, and her presence in our home has made coping with the loss so much less painful.

I am so grateful to you and everyone at Save A Dog for finding and caring for our baby. She has given us so much joy and made us all laugh until our sides hurt, but above all she has given us all of her love. I have sent some pictures of her along with this letter to show you how great she looks!

Thank you again, Shirley, and keep up the good work!

Best Wishes,

Sue Kervis and Chloe
