HANS

Update on Sawyer (formerly our Hans): Hi Sharon, Dennis and ever changing Crew! … In a nutshell, Sawyer continues to be one amazing dog and yes, we are so totally head over heels in love with the little waggle butt! His bid for Mayor continues and he is adding rapidly to his adoring fan base. The jeweler down the street who always has his black lab at the store is totally voting for him...gee I wonder if I can parlay this into discounts from all the area stores? Have I no shame to use an innocent puppy in this manner ??? He is not wearing his bandanna because he is so uncomfortable in the heat I don't want to add anything additional to the mix. As soon as it starts getting cooler he will be sporting it proudly! I do at every chance chat up Safe At Last and just yesterday gave out your info to a very interested person. I do need that vest for His Honor so we can hand out brochures! He is now fully intact and very proud of himself...little does he know what awaits him! We had a great day yesterday because when I took him out he actually peed in the park not in the office; great progress is being made. He is completely housebroken at home and it looks like we are well on the way at work. Not bad for one week of adjusting. … Nancie and I both agreed that we wished you were closer to us geographically because we think we would enjoy getting to know you better. You and Dennis are good, good people! How are your new fosters doing? Is Sawyer's look alike similar in personality? You must have your hands full! I just took a picture of Sawyer hard at work in the office. I hope you don't report me to the authorities for breaking child labor laws!! More pics will be coming soon! "Talk" soon. Hope all is well! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Update on Sawyer (formerly Hans): Hi Sharon, Dennis and pack! Sawyer continues his campaign for Mayor and wins voters left and right. We actually had a man run a half of a block shouting what kind of dog is he...creepy and funny at the same time! Another business owner on the block (Miranda's Deli who is also an ex Albany policeman) was won over yesterday. He couldn't believe someone would let this dog go! Today I had the bartender from The Hollow (restaurant at the bottom of our building) come running out and say we all need to know what kind of dog he is! Crazy how much attention he is getting! … When is your next group expected? Are you ready? Best, Lorraine, Bill & Sawyer ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi "Guys" -- It is official, after much deliberation Hans has now become Sawyer but he will forever have the additional Solo nickname. It doesn't seem to matter, no matter the name his tail continues to wag! He is a wonderful office dog, quiet, calm, friendly and just pure cuteness. The biggest hurdle we have is when I take him to the park to do his business he gets very side tracked by all his adoring fans (especially Louis the Enchanted Florist and the ladies at Mug Shots Cafe) and forgets that he is out on a walk for a different reason! We joke that he is running for Mayor of Albany and is busy networking with his peeps! … He has his first vet visit this Friday so we will report back to you. … I checked out the new litter and you are right the one pup could definitely be from Sawyer's litter. Good thing we have our hands full with the new guy otherwise we would be sorely tempted to bring his twin home! Will get pictures to you soon! Best, Lorraine & Bill
