Hi, my name is Freya...the goddess of love and fertility! I am about 4-5 months old and weigh about 27 pounds. My first owners left me in Maryland in an overnight drop box at a shelter because they said I wasn't housetrained or good with kids. I say give me a chance and teach me to be those things and I will! 

And sure enough, I did find a family who is ready for my puppy power. I met my new family, the Surines, on March 28, 2004 and went home to them for good on April 9.

I am really having a great time with my new brother Jack, a very cute shep/husky mix puppy. I am quite sure we will have many years of play and fun. I also really love my new parents and my new human brother, and I think the cats are pretty cool too.

We checked in with the Surines on 4/12:

Freya is doing great. She has been respectful of the cats (after a few wacks to the face) and she and Jack are learning how to play with each other. (When they first met, Jack wasn't sure what to make of Freya's advances—he kept running away from her because he didn't understand that Freya's invitation to play involved hanging from his neck!) Now, Jack is chasing her around the table and he has also started to learn how to grab her by the neck and feet to play like she does with him...payback time!

She had a rough first night in the crate, lots of wooing initially, but has become better over the last few nights. She also, of course, had to test the Surines and pretend that she didn't know any commands!

On 5/26, Heather reported:

Freya is doing great! We are so happy with her. She and Jack play well now, and she has even progressed to sharing her favorite heart toy with Jack. The cats are learning to co-exist with Ms. Freya and are venturing downstairs with the dogs, even at meal times. Freya is a daddy's girl and is also improving with her woo woo's in the crate while the family is there....daddy is putting his foot down! All is well and we couldn't be more thrilled with the little white girl with the 'tude!
