Berkley has adjusted so well to our home, and his surroundings. His favorite activities include going to the local sports field and running around and sometimes retrieving a ball. He enjoys taking our daughter to school, but cries when she walks in. Loves picking her up even more. Our 17 1/2 year old mixed breed little dog pays no attention to him, but like a good man, he keeps trying. Maybe one day she'll look his way! He has made some other friends on our walking path though, a 5 month old border collie and a lab named Murphy. They give him lots of attention! However, he still comes home begging for attention from the old gal. Three weeks in, and it still hasn't happened. You gotta admire his persistence!
I am home with him all day. He likes when the whole gang is here, but our time together is pretty special. He usually takes his mid morning nap on me and brings me his dog bowl when he is ready to eat. At 13 weeks old, he is often hungry! However, we keep his meals to 3 a day.
I have started a blog/web page on Berkley. It is still under construction, but should be up and running shortly. Here is the url: http://web.me.com/eslteach1/Site_2/Blog/Blog.html
We are soooo thankful to have Berkley in our lives. He has brought a lot of joy to us. He keeps me busy, but his is well worth it. My daughter loves having him and is learning the true meaning of unconditional love.
Thank you,
The Cavages

Hi Claudine,
Marie asked me to just check in from time to time on how Berkely was doing. Well .. .he is doing great. He has adjusted well to our home and our older dog. Our older dog, Blaise, has adjusted to Berkley as well. Here is a picture.
Thanks again. Berkely is such a nice addition to our family.
