The adoption of Bandit went great. Communication from Tracy made the process easy. She gave great advice on best practices for when we got home to make his adjustment go smoothly. Tracy made herself available to work around our schedule when picking up our new puppy. Thanks to Tracy for helping me make my wife's birthday special.
