Update received November 2010:  Sylvie (Vivien) is doing great and growing SO FAST! She loves to run around the backyard and greet everyone who walks by the fence. She also loves to place fetch or find a hidden toy. Her favorite person is dad, except at mealtime. At mealtimes she waits right by the baby's highchair (since she's the messiest). So far, she hasn't met a dog or a person she hasn't liked and everyone says how beautiful she is. She especially loves her dog-cousins, Milo and Abby. I attached a picture of the three of them from October (taken by my sister). We all love her and the kids love having her around! She's a very smart puppy and eager to make us happy. She has boundless energy and enjoys going on walks with us.  Thanks for taking such great care of her before we got her!!
