Morgan - Maggie/Silas 2014

Rhonda & Stephanie,

Attached is a picture of Morgan in his Halloween costume, for which he won FIRST PRIZE in the Pawsitive Paws Academy Halloween Costume Contest in Cedar Rapids! There was tough competition, believe me!

We described Morgan as coming as a  "GOOD DOG" - we had "GOOD DOG" written in gold metallic letters on the side of his costume, which you can't see. Oh dear, his wings aren't showing, either, maybe we took them off for this picture! His wings were held on by gold roping.  (I sewed the costume myself!)

Morgan was extremely patient, putting on and wearing this get-up!   That is, after we changed the wings from FEATHER wings to CLOTH wings!  (He kept wanting to chew on those feather wings! :) We are thinking of using this picture for our Christmas card!

Hope you are all well and enjoying the holiday season.  Morgan is doing VERY well, and really is a GOOD DOG! (Although that costume did elicit a few chuckles from his daycare providers! :)

He is very energetic (can go on a 2-3 mile walk with energy to spare) and healthy and still personality-plus! He does not suffer in silence if he has a need (like a tummy rub!), and he makes us laugh every day.  Not to mention he does like to snuggle alot, too. He is the most outgoing dog I have ever seen, with dogs and people alike, and is never fazed by a dog who might not be friendly or even snarl or growl at him! His temperament is amazing...last fall, he had an altercation with a sharp branch and suffered a cut under his eye. We took him to the emergency clinic where the doctor put in a STAPLE, and he didn't even flinch the entire time they worked on him!  The staff was amazed!  

We think of you often, and are so thankful for our little angel, Morgan!
Sincerely,
Mary and Chuck Barnes
