Hi Jim,

I'm sending you a picture of my daughter, Julie, with Greta.  Julie is now 17 and a typical teen as you can see.  Greta is now 10!  Greta is very much attached to Julie and sleeps in Julie's bed or just outside her bedroom door.

As you can tell, Greta has a gray muzzle, but most people don't realize she is old.  She is very lively and loves to greet new people with a toy and a few howls.  That's her way of talking to them.  Of course, they have to throw the toy to her, which she runs to catch.  She usually brings about three toys before she tires out and has to lie down and rest.  Sorry for the wait, but I wanted to use all my film before developing pictures.  I will be happy to send other photos next time I take some.  Hope all is well.

 Rhonda, Julie and Greta
