Not sure if you received my email in March. I just wanted to send you an update--perhaps you can use in your website newsletter.
The dogs--Lexey & Bentley--are doing great. I can't believe they'll be two years old on June 20. We are so grateful we have these two boys in our life.
Take care, Linda. Hope all is going well as Mag Mutts!

P.S. Lexey had his 10 seconds of fame on Channel 5 -- Brant Miller posted his photo (the one I'm enclosing of him smelling the daffodil) after his weather report a couple weeks ago. I'm also enclosing another photo of Bentley from April--a bit more recent than the former winter photos I sent.
Hi Linda,
Hope you and your great organization are doing well.
I wanted to send you a couple recent photos of our boys, Lexey and Bentley (formerly Spanky & Frankie). They LOVE playing in the snow. They are totally spoiled and get a spa treatment EVERY time they come in from the cold. We have dog washcloths and towels in their sunroom; we wet two washcloths, wrap them inside a hand towel and microwave it for a minute. They get a nice warm wipe down when they come in from the cold. They especially love the warm towels on their bellies and getting all the snow off of their paws and legs. They actually lay there with their eyes almost closed--like they're falling asleep getting a spa treatment. In the hot summer, we wipe them down with cool washcloths.
Okay . . . you do realize these are our four-legged children, right? Yes, they are spoiled rotten, but they give us so much in return. They are great little watch dogs, and they bring us joy each and every day. We're also so happy we kept them together.
The boys are doing great--such great dogs! They weigh 50 lbs. each and will be two years old this June 20 (that's the official birthday we gave them). I can't believe they're going to be two! They grew up to be very handsome dogs. We're absolutely thrilled with them. Our male cat, Beamer, loved them from Day 1. He lets them lick him all over and loves hanging with them. Our female cat, Porsche, is still coming around--and has gotten much better about them. However, she still lets them know as the only four-legged female in the household, that she rules! If you can believe this, she actually herds them out of certain areas of the house where she feels they are not allowed. They take her very seriously and don't mess with her. Even though this 10 lb. spitfire can have her moments, we've spotted her quietly spying on Bentley up close. We think she has a little crush on him. Bentley is the quieter of the two dogs (he's the black and tan dog); Lexey barks at any two-
or four-legged creature outside--and there's everything out by us--deer, raccoon, opossum, skunk, fox, squirrel--and, unfortunately, coyote. We're trying to train him on barking at the right things, but we've decided it's pointless.
Thought you'd want to see a couple recent photos. Again, we can't thank you enough for rescuing our great guys--we call them our little de-stressors! After a rough day at work, they always make us laugh.
All the best,
Lorie & Curt Crouse
