I just can't believe our pooch is a year old! I wanted to send you Radar's
picture (alias Reno... our daughter still prefers Reno) on his first birthday; which is tomorrow,
March 20th.
He is doing so well and and we are just loving him. He likes people and all other dogs. We are very grateful for his
happy disposition and his manners improve daily (being a teenager, he tests us), but I am learning to pick my fights
and let him win sometimes.... the trainer says we've done a good job of socializing him but that we're not tough enough
with him, so about a month ago, we began making him earn everything.... treats, cuddles.... everything..... and this
has really helped him to tow the line and realize he's not the boss.

Radar is doing very well... he listens mostly....
He's 46 lb. now... fetches, puts his nose in the walk collar.... sits whilst
I lock the door and comes when called off leash some times... ahem...
We are just loving him.
