We love hearing from former puppy families about how their dogs are doing. The photos and message below arrived from Wisconsin this week. Edgar (formerly #7 , “Norling Rise’s Loganberry,”) was among the dogs who just had his second birthday.
“I’m late to respond but just wanted to thank you so much for the birthday wishes for Edgar and Litter B. We celebrated big – I made Edgar a peanut butter apple cake frosted with peanut butter (before and after photos attached). He also received two new toys, which he unwrapped all by himself. We cannot believe they’re already two years old, and in less than two months we’ll celebrate his “Gotcha” day again, too.
Speaking of unwrapping presents, I’ve noticed Edgar is super skilled at using his paws – not only does he hold toys, bones, etc., but lately he’s been touching my hand with his paw as if to hold my hand, or he’ll tap or push my hand with his paw if he wants my attention. It’s so human. Do your Griffs do that, too?
Edgar continues to amaze us with his intelligence and cracks us up with his goofy personality. He’s quite a ham, and he’s the smartest dog I’ve ever met – our parents have commented on that, too. He is very vocal and loves to talk to us, especially first thing in the morning. We were laughing while reading your recent blog post about the day Biff picked up Chev; ‘we’ve got our hands full.’ Edgar has the same energy and drive, which we are so grateful for, and it seems as he gets older it’s also becoming easier for him to relax.
I feel like I could sit here all day writing about Edgar, and I know you can relate, so I’ll stop here and promise more stories and updates to come :)”
