Hi Keith!   We are the family in XXX, Florida, that bought Avery (the Lhasa-Bichon mix) last July.  I thought you might be interested to receive an update.  It occurred to me that I should have sent this imbedded Christmas card picture to you back in December…but better late than never!  I will follow up with a current picture of Maggie who just turned 9 months old.  She is a sturdy 11-1/2 pounds and hopefully almost full grown.  Her coat has been cut in the “puppy cut” twice now and is very thick and coarse but still soft.     She doesn’t shed, smell, or have any form a skin disorders.   She’s been potty trained for many months and uses the Poochie Bells to tell us she needs out (have you heard of those?)  She is very smart…actually out-smarted me until I employed a professional dog trainer/behaviorist.   Now that I’ve been trained (LOL), she is the perfect dog!  Truly, I want to tell you that she brings us the greatest joy imaginable and we all love her very much.  So, thank you for giving us our very special dog!  Kim
