What a sweet  puppy! This is  Katie, pictured with her new best friend, Carol Giles. Katie  is an Akita  mix  puppy who was born on April  12, 2003, and is shown here at her first Puppy Plan appointment  on    May 31st when she weighed 9 pounds. This is  probably  going to  be a big  dog, but she will be filled with love and loyalty. Carol tells us that she has had her  for one week and she is already just about  potty-trained! Yeahh!!!
