A letter from the Brock family:

We just wanted to touch base with you about Tia, and to let you know that so far things have gone very well! We are really enjoying her. She is the sweetest dog. So far we have no complaints. We spent all day just playing with her on Saturday and most of today. The children have just fallen in love with her and I believe that she has with them too. She has slept through the night each night in her crate, we haven't heard a peep out of her. The only barking that she has really done, is at the squirrels or rabbits that frequent our yard, it is a pleasure to see her play! She is fascinated with ants and chases them when they crawl across our paved driveway. She has had no "accidents," and seems to be eating very well.

Overall, she has adjusted to country living right from the start. It is like it is where she was meant to be! And, like you said, she is constantly "smiling and wagging her tail." She hasn't had a boring minute, what with all of the constant attention from us and the kids.

Thank you again for letting us get to know her first, it has been a blessing.

--Valerie and Brad Brock

An update:

We are so thrilled with how Tia has fit in with our family. Everyone just loves her. She is a wonderful dog. Such a fabulous personality too, very easy going. We look forward to many happy years with her. She loves taking long walks with us and loves to chase bugs of every kind! We have a rabbit that frequents a corner of our yard, and Tia knows exactly where he likes to nibble on the grass. When we get up and take her for a walk every morning she goes straight for that spot. She thinks she's really a "pointer." We won't tell her any different!

Anyway she is very happy here and we are so glad to have her. Thanks again, Tia sends barks and hugs!
