Lumen
Lumen, now Nellie, is doing fantastic! Nellie and her new brother Nick chase, dog wrestle, and get into trouble together! She’s not been in a crate since she went to her new home. She sleeps soundly in her new pink bed every night, hikes daily off leash in South Mountain. Nellie loves her obedience class, although she spends more time in class kissing and nuzzling the other dogs than she does paying attention! Her favorite activity is simply running! Running through the desert, the forest, or the golf course! We took Nellie and Nick to a lure course and although she was not interested in chasing the lure, she sure loved to chase Nick as he chased the lure. Nellie has gone camping with us, and insists on sleeping with us when the coyotes start howling. She has learned her basic commands of sit, come, down, and we’re still working on stay. My husband and I think she’s a very special little girl. Good girl Nellie!!
