hi mrs. newsome,

i am sorry that it has taken me so long to send a frisbee update. the girls absolutely adore him; i am pretty sure that the feeling is mutual. he is a very, (let me repeat) very energetic and athletic puppy! his jumping ability is "amazing" to quote our middle daughter, courtney age 4. he really enjoys playing on the girls' little tikes 8-in-1 slide. he crawls through the tube, smiles on the top of the slide, puts his front paws out and runs down! quite the character as you can imagine! we've even captured this on film. i promise to send photos soon.
   to quote our oldest  daughter (sydney, 5) from just the other day...she told me that "she knows that her & her sisters are my favorite presents but that frisbee is her  favorite present".
his puppy stages have been a bit exasperating at times, but the love & security that he brings to our family are worth the *puppy teeth issues* ten times over.
  at a little over four months, he knows his "words" very well (most especially "drop it" haha). he and the girls take turns cuddling on each other. sometimes he can be found laying on them; sometimes they are using him as the pillow. but one thing is for certain ~wherever they go...he goes! even if it means leaping over the babygate to get to them :-)
   you may recall our youngest was bald on the left side of her head from pulling her hair & then eating it due to anxiety (missing dad whose deployed and missing our beloved champ). frisbee has definitely filled the void. we are happy to say, hannah has hair!!!  not a lot but so much more than the months before frisbee.
  he had all his vaccinations when required including rabies, eats at regular intervals ~ we're still doing the proplan as recommended, loves to snack on apples & carrots with his sisters, he has been akc registered as marshburn girls' frisbee, and has had his microchip since 9/28 with the companion animal recovery. his number is 4425512355. i don't have his latest weight but his last vet visit around thanksgiving was 35lbs...and i'm sure it is all muscle!!! he's strong and still absolutely gorgeous! at 6 months, we are still planning on neutering him.
   we were able to bring erik home for 2 days at thanksgiving. we got our first family photo, which i've included. you can see frisbee is not camera shy :-) he enjoyed going to the mall of ga to get his formal portraits taken.
   we want to say thank you again for all the love & devotion you give to your labs so that they, in turn, can be full of love for others. frisbee  has truly blessed our family. may god keep you & your family safe & healthy this next year. happy holidays!

kindly, the marshburn family
erik, jody, sydney, courtney, hannah & frisbee
