Calvin was adopted!
Update May 2011:
Hi Ginny,
We just want you to know that Calvin has settled in very nicely. We know it has only been 2 days but we can tell he is going to be a gem. He is very well behaved, and loves to run around the back yard. Our 11 yr old baby( other adopted lab) tries her best to keep up with him. I do believe it makes her feel like a young pup!!!
They did very well together today while we were at work. My husband came home at lunch to check on them and I left work early, I guess you can tell I am a trusting soul, but we could tell everything was going to be fine. I went with my gut!!! When I arrived at home they were both relaxing in their beds and very happy to see me!!!!
Thank you so much for Calvin, I think he was waiting for us!!!
I will keep you updated on him.
PS.-Calvin is a bedhog and made himself very comfortable and slept all night long!!!
Thanks again, Pam and Jerry

Hello Ginny and Staff,
Just an update on Calvin. He has adjusted to life at our home with out any problems. He truly is a gem. He went to see the vet within one wk of us adopting him. He did recieve a clean bill of health, although we are treating him ,preventative, for lymes disease since he tested positive. back in Feb. We really do think that he is not aware of his size because soon as you take a seat he is on your lap!!! He is one great dog!! Again we thank you and do believe Calvin was waiting for us!!!
Soon as I figure out how to download pics I will send some.
Calvin and our other dog, Baby, have fast become pals.
We are sure that you are missing him but he is very ,very happy!!!!
Thank You again,
Pam and Jerry
Update June 2011:
Hi ginny and staff,
First I would like to say I see calvin is moving down on your list of adoptions. It does my heart good to see so many people willing to adopt pets in need of loving homes!
Calvin is fine and very happy! He really loves being outdoors when we are working in the yard and really loves to be right in the middle of what we are doing! We are waiting for him to take a dive in the pool!! Has not done this yet, but sure seems like he might enjoy the swim! Sleeps well, eats well, and is very aware upon coming back into the house sits for his treat!!!
Once again I will say he really is a gem and we are so happy to have him as part of our family!!!

Update July 2011:
Hello to all,
Just a quick update on Calvin! He has now been with us for abt 2 1/2 mos and is still a real gem. We feel as though we have had him forever. He is a friend to anyone that shows up at the door. He still thinks he is a lap dog and I don't believe he will ever realize his size!! But oh well.... He sure is a keeper!!!!
We will continue to update you!
Pam and Jerry
Update September 2011:
Hi Ginny and staff,
Just a short note about our pal, Calvin! He continues to thrive with us and sure has given our old girl, Baby,( our other adopted lab) a very active summer! They love to be outdoors, but only when we are out with them! They both enjoy rolling around in the grass, and Calvin has spent some time chasing lighten bugs and butterflies when they were around. It is pretty funny watching such a large fierceful guy chase such small things!!!
He has become quite a companion with our 2 yr old grandaughter when she visits. No fear there from either one!!!
He is such a gentle giant!
Will stay in touch!

Update December 2011:
Hi Ginny and staff,
Well Calvin has been with us for alittle over 6 mos. and still continues to be a great dog!!! He eats well, plays well, and continues to insist on sleeping in our bed. He does very well at settleing in right up on the pillows and at times someone sleeps elsewhere ( and that is not him!!!!). He really is a people person and follows us around right on our heels!!
He sure is a very unique buddy and a very good boy!!!
Update April 2012:
Hi , Ginny and Staff,
I am sure that you have not forgotten about Calvin! Well he is great! Now that the weather is warming up we are finding that he really loves to be outdoors and his favorite place to sit and scope things out is on the picnic table!! He will stay outdoors for quite awhile and recently has taught himself to open up the back door all by his self!!! We did know he is a very smart boy!! But I do want you to know that he also tucks himself in at night in our bed and due to his size there are many nights someone moves and it is not him!!! oh well!!! Just wanted to let you knowCalvin is a very happy and very good boy!!!
Will stay in touch.
Pam and Jerry
