I thought I'd send you a quick update on Maverick (Lil Rusty
x Sydney). He's almost 10 weeks old now, the first week has
gone by very fast. We got him to the vet right after we
picked him up and he checked out very healthy. This little
guy is everything we were hoping for and more! It took our
other Aussie, Mocha, about 3 days before she realized that
playing with the new guy is fun, but now they are such great
friends! Playdates with Cappi from another of your litters
are quite amusing, especially since Cappi is still a Puppy.
Maverick's personality and temperament are excellent. He
loves to snooze in his crate but also enjoys sleeping in
with us on the couch and in bed. Every night but one he
has only gotten up 2 or less times! He's very playful
with Mocha and likes to chew on his bully sticks, ropes,
and other toys toys. Of course, he tries to find other
(more troublesome) things to chew.
I have taught him to sit and started on a few more
basics, and he's on his way to being house-trained.
Maverick is a very kind, calm puppy - and very, very
happy! . Like his adopted sister, Mocha, he is a dreamer.
I'd say he's dreaming at least half the time, wiggling
his toes and chasing imaginary rodents through his
dreams.
His tail, now the length of a credit card, is adorable.
Maverick waggles it all the time to let me know how much
fun he's having visiting friends and family. The boy is
still quite small but he has a normal appetite and eats
3 meals a day so we're not worried at all. He'll
definitely be a smaller toy, which is great.
Toni and I just wanted to thank you for making this
addition to our family possible. We love our little boy
so much, and I'll continue to send you updates as he
grows up. Enjoy the attached photos :)
We all hope you have a very Happy Holiday season!
-Shawn Hillyer, Toni Gray, Mocha, and Maverick
