Chasey (Formerly Barbie)

My name is Nicole and about a month ago my family and I adopted Barbie, now known as Chasey. She has been nothing but a dream addition to our family. Our girl thinks she's a lap dog, but might be about 50 lbs and 2 feet too big. Our younger son and Chase have developed the greatest bond by playing catch with her many toys. Since Chase doesn't quite understand how big she is, she thinks it is perfectly acceptable to jump on my sleeping boy's bed and lick him awake...at midnight. :0) She has gained weight nicely, almost erasing the rib bones that made her look starved. She loves walks, sitting at the park while all the kids lay on her and chewing sticks from the backyard.
Chase is such an amazing dog. We got really lucky, thanks to you.
