Things are going well. Today is the first day of our work week routine and so far so good. I am feeling pretty confident. She only barked at me with a towel on my head and the ironing board. We found that Lady wasn't responding to her name as much as we thought she would be, so we have decided to call her Gypsy. She seems to be catching on a little bit. We actually ventured up to the dog park yesterday and Gypsy had a blast! I think it will be a part of our daily routine - Karen
 

Update:

Hi Jerry,

We did adopt Lady (who became Gypsy), and we did move. The following summer after we adopted her we moved back to Ohio, and we now live in Columbus. We bounced around a little once we got here, but bought a house about a year ago that has an open floor plan (aka indoor dog track) and a huge fenced in back yard. Gypsy went through obedience school while we were still in Denver and learned some manners. :) We learned how to manage her energy. Even though she is a mix, she swears that she is all Vizsla! She continues to struggle with off leash recall and she gets a little feisty when meeting other dogs for the first time, but I think it is because she just gets so excited and has such a strong personality. She is such a great dog. We describe her as an opportunist and she definately has that Vizsla stubborn streak. Her answer to us is often "are you sure I really have to do that?", but as long as we stay consistent, she stays in line. ;) Gypsy is great with kids, we now have a 3month old new baby boy. Gypsy has been absolutely wonderful. She is now a little over 4 years old, and starting to get her white chin :) We tease her, and she is determined that she will never get old! We still talk to her about you and Razda from time to time. We hoped to adopt another Vizsla about a year ago as a companion for her, and looked through the rescue there and the Miami Valley rescue group. Unfortunately things did not align and then we got pregnant. Vizslas are not nearly as common here, and so Gypsy often gets to be that "one of a kind". She is always the center of attention, and everyone talks to us about how beautiful she is. She grew some, but has balanced out at about 50 pounds. She is our very special dog, and we are so glad that she is a part of our family. Thanks for thinking of us! - Karen
