Update received February 2011: Wanted to let you know that Mikka (Laila) is doing great and is transitioning well. Here is another photo. I need to get you an action shot of Mikka and Smokey playing and playing in the backyard. This is another sleepy shot (with Smokey resting his head on Mikka's back). Such good buddies.

Update received January 2011: Our family adopted Lailla this past Saturday. Wanted to send you some photos Photo 1 attached shows this cutie. Photo 2 shows Lailla (now "Mikka" pronounced "meek-a") and our other dog Smokey having fun in the back yard. And photo 3 shows how tired Smokey (just a year older than Mikka) gets after playing. Thanks and take care!
