FROM PATRICE, S.A.V.E.
05.12.03
Thema
(formerly Abby) was rescued from a killing shelter, where she had been
abandoned. S.A.V.E. took her in and here she is a month later, with her
terrific new family consisting of daddy Kirk and mommy Nikki in a lovely home
upstate in the country, a new schnauzer brother named Trooper, and obviously
lots of love and a new wonderful life. Thema's new family loves to hike and
camp and we look forward to seeing her with a little back pack on, walking
alongside Trooper, out on the trails soon.
FROM THEMA'S MOM

Weighing 30 some pounds at 3 feet in length,
Thema (thEE-ma), the new big sister, looks so nice with Trooper! Theema, mostly
an African hound type, called a basenji, was from S.A.V.E., a rescue down in
the city.
We are very
glad that she is here! We are looking forward to Memorial Day weekend, during
which we will be going on a 3-day backpacking trip with Thema and Trooper and
some friends. We think she will really enjoy visiting the outdoors with us and
sleeping in a tent!

FROM THEMA'S MOM
05.22.03
hi,
patrice--
we have more
pictures of thema to send, and will do so soon. she is doing very well. her
heat cycle has definitely subsided, and the "hump-fest" that was going on at
our house the first few days is over. now trooper and thema just wrestle and
play, and occasionally we even catch them curled up side-by-side taking a nap.
:) thema has been granted full access to the house while we are gone for the
day, and she has behaved very well. she has also settled down at night, and has
been finishing her breakfast and dinner with a happy wag each day. we are
slowly training her on the invisible fence system, and she is a smart dog and
is learning quickly. our lunch-time dogwalkers think she is fabulous, and they
have enjoyed sharing time with her at mid-day while mom and dad are at work.
thema got a clean bill of health last week at the vet. we are gearing up for
some backpacking/hiking this holiday weekend, and plan to go to massachusetts
or vermont along the appalachian trail. however, the rain may shorten our trip.
we'll certainly have pictures of hiking to send you next
week.
take care,
nikki
Update

Thema
and Trooper love hiking. Thema may like human affection even more. They both
can agree that after a long day of PULLING their masters through the forest, a
nap by the campfire and a long snooze in the tent is just
reward.
