Wanted to let you know that Curly is now Shirley and is the perfect addition to our family! She has been perfect; we didn't have to relocate any of our food from out of reach, she waits to go outside for the bathroom, and is great on the leash out on trails. She pretty much ignores the cats. One of the cats doesn't mind her at all; the other cat is still adjusting and keeping her distance. Shirley loves to go on runs with me; 3 miles is no problem for her. She loves to curl up on the couch all night to relax. Thanks for helping us out! Megan
