It's been almost 5 months since we adopted Violetta (Violet) and she is a joy to have in our home! She was older then we had expected but we don't mind as we got to celebrate her 1st birthday in her forever home! When she came to us she was skin and bones and had a big bandage on her ear from a pooch that didn't appreciate her eagerness to play! Since then she has gained about 20 lbs and her ear is looking great; there is a chunk missing but we think it gives her character! Violet also had a blast in the massive amounts of snow we got hammered with in New England this winter! She loves going for walks every day and meeting new people though she does like to jump and howl at people when they don't give her the attention she "deserves" so we are working on that! Everyone loves her goofy disposition when we walk down the street! Violet also enjoys spending time with my brother's 2 pit bulls, Harley and Lexi; they get along great though Violet has much more energy then Harley some times so we have to separate them so he can have a break! Violet is doing very well with housetraining but occasionally has accidents and hasn't gotten the hang of telling us when she needs to go out but again we are working with her. We love Violet very much and I hope to adopt another coonie in the near future so she has a permanent playmate!

All the best,
George, Karen, Korey, Gabrielle and Violet!
