REX: Sweet and spoiled. Loves taking walks on leash through Issaquah, playing with Golden Retriever friend Charlie and Jake the terrier mix. Having a hard time being quiet and accepting the "keep 3 feet from your neighbor" rule at basic obedience classes. Has been left alone a few times in his gigantic kennel and is okay with that. Tags along with me throughout the day. Sleeps with Cora at night. Loves all the crew from Sutter Paving. Is suspicious of people with hoods, hats and umbrellas. Walks 1 hour in morning, then 1 at noon and 1 before bedtime, with some catch and tug o' war in between. Met the Pacific Ocean over spring break, but was more interested in the seagulls after getting knocked over by a wave. Behaved very well in the hotel for 2 nights. Loves to ride in car. One cat loves him. One cat tolerates him. Still working on the chicken relationship...

Just a quick note (more pictures to come) to say that Rex has meshed perfectly with our family! (well, still 1cat who isn't pleased with his arrival but he is warming up). Lin did such a good job with Rex, he has only had a couple accidents in the house but his manners are exquisite...for a puppy!
