Adoption--Dapper Dan UPDATE

Hi Teresa and DPS--

I just wanted to give you an  update on Dapper Dan.  I'm thrilled to report that he has thrived  with us and we love him very much. If you'll recall, I could not get him  to respond to the name Dapper Dan--or Dan or Danny or Babaloo--or  anything. The homeless man who does odd jobs for us suggested the name  "Spot". Dan looked up and barked when he heard that name so Spot it was.  It's a perfect name for him and very retro cool.

Spot has such a  great personality and is very, very clever. He's learned to sit, stay,  get down and come when he's called. We are working on his barking issues  but he gets steadily better. He hates walking with his collar but gets  very excited when I take out his harness for a walk. He is popular in  the neighborhood because he's such a handsome guy. No one can believe  he's not a breed because he's so unusual-looking. He does very well with  other dogs but does not trust human men at all. We're careful with  strangers but I don't mind that he's a bit protective of me.  He  keeps us active and truly has revitalized our 18 yr old dog, Odie. They  snuggle in the same bed!

We love having Spot in our lives. He's a  very good boy.

Peace
Francine
