Sherry,

When Cookie got off the plane she was cool and collected as a young lady should be!  Thanks,  Mitch

Cookie left Shefaro and moved right in to her new home.  Here's what Daddy, Mitch, has to say about her two days after Cookie's arrival:

August 26, 2003

"Sherry,

We have a very good girl over here! Cookie has learned to walk on a lead

and to do her business outside! We have had NO accidents and she already

knows the routine. What a good girl!

How many eggs is too many? I usually give her one in the morning and one

later in the afternoon, but she likes them so much I was thinking they

would make a great reward.

Last night we sat home after dinner watching the big TV with Cookie on

my lap (I know - softie!), She actually watches the TV! She is

definitely a people dog. She hasn't figured out how to go up and down

the stairs yet, but she did get halfway up all by herself. I am sure she

will figure it out soon.

She has a strange attraction for bathtubs. She sticks her nose and paws

over the rim to peer inside as if to say "What - no water in here yet!"

Its time to teach her to swim! Gently of course, but I am sure she will

be a great student.

It was raining heavily this morning when we had to go out, but she went

without an argument and did her business in lees than 5 minutes - I am

almost in awe at her ability to learn. You must have done something very

right in your early upbringing of the pups. I have never had a dog with

such unique capabilities at this age - she will be very easy to train.

We went out for about an hour last night with Felicia taking the lead

and practicing her show gait. Cookie does not side

wind or bounce, she has a very even gait with good fluid motion - this

is going to be FUN!

The vet was very impressed with Cookie's temperament and I reminded him

of the fact that good breeding has distinct focus on not only breed

standard conformation, but also temperament and disposition. He had been

our vet for our Greyhound also, so he knew what I look for in our dogs,

he just had never seen this in a dog so young.

Overall we are thrilled with her and now I wish we had more room so that

we could have more Borzoi. Well maybe in the future we will be able to

move into a place with more room. Oh, by the way, this is good, Felicia

now wants to keep Cookie in our bedroom at night, on her own little bed!

This is a large departure for her as she has previously prohibited the

dogs from the bedroom! I have never had a problem with the dogs sleeping

on their own bed in the bedroom, but Felicia seems to have quite an

attraction to Cookie! Cookies ears perk up whenever Felicia talks to

her. Last night Felicia taught Cookie to sit for her treats! Not bad!

More Later,

Mitchel K. Baum"

Sherry,

Sorry we have not written for so long, we have been busy with the new grandson (our first).

Cookie is doing just wonderful as she is all grown up now.

Take a look ,she is just gorgeous! I can’t tell you how very smart she is. Felicia thinks she is almost human!

Miss “Cookie” is NOT interested!

But here she is , all grown up!
