Andy (fka Barrett) Update

MatchMaker Sydney received the following update from Barrett, now Andy's family:

It looks like you're a pretty good matchmaker! We met with Deb and Jim on Saturday in Little Rock to pick up Barrett. His new name is Andrew (Andy). He is a real sweetie!

Deb and Jim did a great job with him--he is comfortable with me, my husband, and both Scooter and Piper. I really appreciate all the hard work they put in getting him ready for a forever home. Scooter and Piper went with us to pick up Andy. They got acquainted walking at the rest stops. In the hotel, they interacted really well--no problems.

Piper was a little standoffish -- Andy didn't mind because he was focused on Scooter, who tolerated all the pestering quite well! Now that we are home (for less than 24 hrs), Scooter has let Andy know a couple of times when he's had enough!

The only issue Piper has with him involves toys, but that will work itself out.Anyway, thanks for all your hard work. As you know, I didn't start out with a puppy in mind. But I think it's great because he's not fully molded--he will learn a lot from Scooter and Piper. I know that an adult dog would also, but in a different way.

Thanks! Linda
