Just wanted to let you know how Heidi is doing.  She is such a blessing for us.  She is a sweet girl.  She doesn't bother our cat but likes to chase the stray cat that comes around.  She barks to come in after she goes outside, but still doesn't bark when the door bell rings.  She goes to the right door, either back or front, but doesn't bark yet.  She sits, stays pretty good (we're working on that), and has never messed in the house.  She likes to go for a ride with us but doesn't like the leash.  We are working on that too.  She is a lot better on putting her collar on.  She used to wriggle and fight it.  With patience and treats and taking it off and on a lot, she has gotten better.  It is just taking time and we don't mind that because she learns very fast and she is so loveable. She has 2 beds in the house.  One in the living room and one by my side of the bed.  She goes in and out of her crate and lays down in it and goes to sleep when we eat dinner or doing stuff in the kitchen.  We put her in the crate with toys and treats when we have to leave her.  She is such a loveable dog.  She likes the calves.  When we feed them she goes to everyone of them and licks them.  They like her too.  When we clean the pens and have the calves in the corral, she runs along side the fence, cause she wants to be with them.  I don't let her in with them cause she could get kicked.  They lay down on the other side of the fence and she lays by them.  I don't know how to thank you for saving her for me.  She is Don's and my buddy.  When I go to work she looks out the window till I go out of sight.  Don says she lets him know when I drive in the driveway.  If they are outside, he knows I'm home cause she starts running back and forth to each gate. Anyway I would send you pictures but I can't seem to do all the steps to e-mail them.  I'm working on it.  I did it once to Carrie, but somehow I am missing something I should do.  I just wanted to let you know Heidi is well and happy and so are we!!
