I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all your time to my questions and comments regarding Pepper. She is such an amazing girl! Every morning begins at 6:00AM whether I want it to or not! Pepper puts her big paws on my bed and tells me it's time to start our day. How could I get upset when I see such a beautiful, excited face every morning!
 
The first thing we do is head down to the chicken coop to water the hens and gather the eggs. On the way down, Pepper is beside herself with joy and runs and jumps all over the place. She then must find something to carry in her mouth, such as a piece of wood or a stick! She is always looking back at me with such a huge grin on her face. She sure does enjoy life!
 
She has become such a fantastic hiking partner. I live on 185 acres of ranch land and forest, so there is always something to discover for Pepper as well as me! She is becoming so smart!
I imagine all puppy owners think their pup is the smartest, but Pepper is picking up new training experiences every day. She is such a joy to work with, so enthusiastic and ready for what may come. She is also very cautious, which is good where I live as there are wolves, coyotes, cougar and bears!
 
She has become quite the bell of the area. Everyone who sees her can't help but fall in love with her beauty and infectious, rambunctious personality! I am really looking forward to when I can start playing with her in the lakes that are around this area.
 
Thank you again!
