“Hi Elizabeth! Here are a few pictures of Timber. She’s getting very big (38 lbs) and much darker. Timber is now eating a balanced full raw food diet to simulate a prey meal.
She’s learning quickly and follows the rules of the house. We just took her to the vet and got all her vaccinations so she is able to go on walks now. When I tell her to come, she never fails. I taught her “leave it” and I will throw treats all around her and she doesn’t think about eating them until I release her. She stays very well and attacks me with kisses once I release her.
Everywhere I go, Timber is always following me. If we leave her for a couple of hours she gets so excited and acts as if she hasn’t seen me in years. Thank you for the best companion I could ever ask for. …Happy holidays!  Sydney”
