Our Katie Has Moved to Connecticut

Well, the day we have been talking about for four years happened. Katie moved to Connecticut to attend Sacred Heart University in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. There were a lot of tears at our house, along with a lot of hustle and bustle to get her out the door. Mariko seemed to roll with everything that was happening (and kept growing in the process).

Such a beautiful, well-behaved dog

This is what Mariko looks like after two hours of obedience training

She is doing very well. Every place we go people continue to comment about what a great dog she is, a lot of people will say, I have a dog that is ___ months old and there is no way it would behave like this. I would say for an almost nine month old puppy, that you are a VERY awesome dog Mariko!
