Mighty Mason

Hi Denise,

This is JJ~.  I have donated to Red Lake Rosie's over the years, and recently adopted a dog that came from Red Lake via the Carver Scott Humane Society.  His name is Mason, and he was one of about six german shepherd mix puppies that Jean fostered. 

Just wanted you to know that Mason is doing well and growing fast.  He is about ten weeks old now and progressing in his potty training.  Our other dog Bear, an 8 year old shitzu-yorkie mix, really loves having him around.  We lost our elderly german shepherd at the end of February, and Bear has been very lonely since then.  He was thrilled when we came home with Mason.  

 Our kids are doing great with Mason, and helping with his care.  We have three children still at home (and one at college); ages 17, 15, and 13.  They are a big help with taking him outside and helping to potty train him.  

Mason loves toys, especially squeaky toys. He also likes sticks, which you will see in one of the pictures. ( we don't let him chew too much on them) He is really enjoying our yard, especially now that the snow is gone.  

We have a local Petco that has puppy play classes on Saturdays, which we intend to bring him to to help him socialize.  He is pretty social on his own, but it's always good to learn to play well with others!  Mason has a very sweet and mellow temperament, and enjoys attention.  He is a great addition to our family.

Just wanted to let you know how he is doing- he is a very good dog, very sweet.  We are really enjoying him!
