Went Home On:	Lucky Dog!	How Sweet It Is!
November 2007	Tank	Tank, now named Rookie, was found with Mickey running stray in Kansas City.  Tank and Mickey were on their way to Colorado when one of the volunteer transporters decided she couldn't pass Tank on to the next driver.  He is now named "Rookie" and living the good life in Colby, Kansas with some other fur brothers and a human teenage sister. 10/08 UPDATE FROM NEW FAMILY: Tank plays pretty rough and tumble!  He and Brach would roll each other and then get up and do it again.  And lots of mouth games!   Sometimes it sounded like they were mad, but they never were.  I have never seen Tank be dominant or aggressive.  His new friend is a female Catahoula mix, about 40 pounds.  She liked him immediately and they played from the moment they met.  I think she knew instinctively that he meant no harm. Tank is the type of dog that will do ANYTHING for his master.  He is dying to please - and dying to be praised.
	Ceasar	Ceasar, now Tosh, was adopted by Eric and Olivia.  Eric is the founder's husbands' coworker.  He wrote the lovely poem off to the side.  He and Olivia really do love Tosh, but as you can tell he has to do a lot of the leg work involved in caring for him.  Tosh is very thankful to have such a wonderful family.  He is returning the thanks with much love and play time!
	Blue	Blue was adopted by a nurse who takes him on nice long walks and jogs.  Blue has made a wonderful and calm companion for Jim.  He is always happy and wagging his tail. We will have more of an update soon!
	Shadow	Shadow was adopted by Marissa and Nate in Henderson CO.  Shadow has 2 human siblings and 1 other four legged sibling.  Shadow is very playful and happy all of the time.  The family is really enjoying her.
29th January, 2008	Josie	Update on Josie from her new family:  She is doing great!  Worms are all cleared up.  She is the sweetest and happiest little dog!  Fit into the family like she was meant to be there.  She is very respectful of our old, sick lab, and her and our Choc lab play non-stop for hours! She is wonderful with our daughter, and absolutely adores our cats!  She is still a lab pup, so chewing is about the only issue we have, that and the fact she can jump over the baby gates we used to keep the other dogs from wandering the house, but we got creative and all is well.  We are currently working with a trainer with all 3 dogs, and Josie is by far the quickest learner!!  Thank you so much for allowing us the chance to add her to our family!
	Mickey	Mickey, now Jesse, what a mess!  He should be so glad he is so darn cute.  This guy has been one barrel of laughs after another.  He was adopted by the rescue's trainer and he is learning how to behave very nicely.  He loves his mommy so much and she takes him everywhere with her.  She says his favorite place to go is for walks and to puppy class.
	Georgia	Georgia's new name is Nakonda.  Nakonda lives with Sara and Dave in Denver and they just love her to death.  She had to be taught about her crate, but has come to realize it isn't so bad and is now potty trained.  Nakonda gets to go up to the mountains with her parents and loves her walks.   Update - this is what Nakonda's mom wrote us recently: "We are so happy that we found our puppy Nakonda on the Rocky Mountain Lab Rescue website.  As a first time dog owner, RMLR was very helpful and answered all of our questions and concerns.  We couldn't be happier with Nakonda and the entire adoption process.  And the best part is we saved a puppy!"
	Sonny	Sonny was adopted in Georgia by friends of the rescue's foster home in Georgia.  Sonny is doing well and very glad to be out of the shelter!
	Walter	Walter, now Wa Wa or the WA!  Walter was the inspiration behind saving dogs in rural areas.  If you read the inspirational story, you will understand our mission.  Walter is a big goofy puppy, but we love him very much.  Despite his chewing and jumping the fence he is a great running companion and very wonderful snuggler.  He loves to play with his toys most of all and bug the other dogs in the house to play as well.
	Tucker	Tucker was the "Urgent" Wyoming Lab on the Lab Board.
