Hi Danielle,
 I realized it's been forever since I sent you an update! Ariadne is almost 3 now!! Although we named her Ari, she responds to all her nicknames - Junebug, Nugget, Ari "Two-toys" (She sometimes shoves two toys in her mouth at once so she can carry them with her). She's developed some unique habits that just make her personality so loveable, like making herself a little cave under the covers, sucking on her bed pillow before going to sleep at night, and of course, responding almost religiously to the temptation of treats.

She had her annual vet appointment today and did a great job, weighing in at 19.4lbs. The vet remarked that her ears are particularly enormous:)
She's got two toy boxes, three beds, and still hogs the couch. I think she's the snuggliest, most loving dog I've ever had. She's a champion napper and after a good night's rest she's lightening fast in the backyard. She loves the dog park and is always a hit with anyone who meets her. She's especially hilarious at parties when she steals shoes and does cute tricks for milkbones. The head tilt and "lean to the left" is my favorite. I'm including a few pictures with this email. She's so adorable and we can't imagine what our lives would be without her. She's done wonders for our quality of life and we hope that we've lived up to our end of the bargain thus far. Please know that we are forever grateful to you for our best friend and we love her oodles!
Sincerely,
Alice and Michael Verlezza
