Crash's Page
Crash lives in Maryland with Jay, Kristen, Cole and Alexandra.  He also lives with their first Welshie, Che, who is a half sister of Plum.  He's visited a sporting goods store and goes with Kristen to pick Alex up from school where he gets lots of attention from the other children. He's tentative at first, but warms up right away.  Kristen often takes Che and Crash for a good romp in the big lot near their house.  They've been handling his feet and nails a lot, so when it was time for the first clipping, he didn't fuss at all.

An early email from Crash's family:
Hi Cathy,
I am taking Crash to the vet on Monday for his shots. We have to be there at 11:30. I'll let you know how it goes. I remember doing this with Che and I swear it's harder on me than it is on the dog! It reminds me of when I had to take my kids for their shots.
Jay and I trimmed his nails the other night, he was so good. Jay gave him treats and I cut and filed. He didn't seem to mind. But we play with his feet/nails every day so I think that has helped. He's a little less cooperative when it comes to the teeth brushing, but were working on it.
His AKC certificate came yesterday. So we have that. Last weekend we took him with us to a sporting goods store. He definitely starts out a little shy, but soon he's waging his tail and giving nose pokes. I've been taking him with me when I pick up Alex from school. I have the kids give him a treat and pet him under his chin one at a time, so it's less intimidating for him. Again, it takes him a minute, but he's soon giving them nose pokes. I have noticed it takes him less time to warm up, each time we go.
I saw the pictures of the pups and their families on your website, I'll try and get some of Crash/us emailed to you this weekend.
