LETTERS FROM HAPPY OWNERS!
Donna,
I thought I should give you a little update on Scooter. Oh my goodness – he is just the greatest pal anyone could ever ask for! We are totally inseparable! You were absolutely so right about his personality – he really does try to do things right. He is getting more and more comfortable with his new home and has all the potty stuff down pat. He loves his Doggie Door and uses it all day long. He has company all day long since there are two caregivers with my Mom while I am at work, so he is occupied all day. But I wish I could tell you what you have done for our home with Scooter’s arrival. It is a home filled with giggles and laughter and lots and lots of hugs. Poor little guy is in danger of being loved to death. He just simply is a WONDERFUL LITTLE FELLOW and I can’t help thinking that it was meant to be. He had his little “operation” two weeks ago and will get the stitches out tomorrow afternoon. The vet did some additional work on his little tummy since it had a slight protrusion and she was glad she did because she discovered that the umbilical cord had not been properly tied off so she was able to fix that. So now when he eats too much he won’t have an extra “pouch”. He is way beyond adorable and he is my very own! Thank you – thank you!
And in the future, if Scooter decides he would like to “share” his home, we will make another trip over the mountain!
Thank you – thank you – thank you!
I promise to love him for a lifetime!
Patty
Also, I promise to send pictures the minute he will stand still while I have a camera in my hands – he is so beautiful and I will keep him looking wonderful!
Hi Donna: Glad you liked the picture. I thought you would like to see some of the puppies you breed and what they look like a few years later.
Yes, she is a very pretty little dog. I have read a lot about the breeding standards and she is right there with the standards. She has the most beautiful tail I have ever seen on a shitzu. It is so long, full and pretty. The girls in my neighborhood say," she has a pony tail." Her ears are long and pretty,t oo but her tail is especially stunning. She is sweet and smart, too.
Her picture remains in a nurse practitioners office at Kaiser Panorama City and everyone comments about what a "pretty like dog she is." I, too, have her picture in my office. She is a real celebrity in her own right! I always comment about what an experienced breeder you are and how to find you. And, yes, Annie is a jumper! I remember when you told me"you can't tell at a young age....some are jumpers and some aren't. This one is a jumper!
I am a proud mama.
Have a great week.
Warmest regards,
Debra
Hi Donna,
OMG...they are so in love with that puppy. She is just the sweetest thing. She just wants to be be held or near someone all the time and she's a little snuggle bug. She eats like a little pigglet. We were all shocked by that. She's doing well, but doesn't like to be left alone. My mom is coming home at lunch to check on her and my father is coming home early for a while so that she only has to be alone for 3-4 hours at a time. Just to ease her in a little. She will be just fine and she's going to have a very good/happy life.
My father said you got to see Penny. Isn't she just cute as a bug. Can you believe when I got her from you she was dark chocolate brown? You were right about Penny, she didn't want to have anything to do with that puppy. She is slowly coming around. She at least went over and sniffed the pup a little, but that's about it. I'm taking her over to visit the pup every couple of days so she can get used to her because they will be spending a lot of time together. Anyway, all is well.
What are you feeding Furby and your other adult dogs? With the whole dog food poisoning scare, I'm not sure what's safe anymore. I noticed you gave my parents a pack of wet food for the pup, is that the brand you are feeding all your dogs? I took Penny off dog food for a while and am feeding her chicken, brown rice, veggies and cottage cheese (the vet gave me that recipe). Any thoughts?
Anyway, thanks again for another great puppy! They bring a lot of happiness to my family!

My FIRST WEEK
By Trinkit Beebe (Cool name huh!!!)
Well where do I begin? My first night in my new home was really neat. Momma was going to make me sleep on the floor in my own bed and my Daddy said NO WAY! She is sleeping with us !The poor thing! HAHA I told you he was going to be a push over. I really had a good sleep.
The next morning I got up and they put me outside and it was kinda cold.. I had to Potty and when I did t
hey got all excited and called me good girl, good girl! I don’t know what kinda life they had before they got me but it must have been really boring? Then I went inside and I went potty and they got all excited and called me bad girl, bad girl! Had me confused! I was starting to wonder if they were mentally unstable.!!! I think I have it pretty well figured out now. They want me to go outside where they can see me ? Sounds kinda kinky but if it makes them happy who am I to argue. They get so excited and happy when I do!
I was wondering what life in a RV pack was going to be like! Well let me tell you! The houses aren’t much to look at but the people sure are nice, Everybody comes over and goes GAGA and GOGO and just make a big fuss over me! They even threw me a big party!! They had cake and one of the guys let me try some frosting. Boy that stuff is good. But Mama got mad, she was afraid it would make me sick. I guess she knows best.
That got me a collar. Now that’s something I’m not real crazy about. But they hooked me on to a leash and we went walking. Now that is fun! I love to run!! !Daddy sure looks funny when he runs with me. I don’t think he is very good at it. Maybe he didn’t have a leash and collar when he was little and he never learned how to run. I sure love it.
It took me a couple of days to get up the steps to the RV. But I have got it down pat now. Going down is still kinda scary but I’m working on it! Potty training is going pretty good. I have had a couple of mistakes but now that I can get down the steps I’m doing better.
Did I tell you I can speak . Yes my Daddy Taught me how and when I do it I get a treat. And when I speak at the door they let me go outside. This is so cool. He is going to teach me lots of tricks but that will take some time as I’m still little. But guess what!! I taught myself how to fetch> Daddy would throw my toy and I just thought if he was going to keep playing with me, I had better get it and take it back to him. He was really excited and happy. I thought it was just common sense? But I love It because I get to run real fast.
Well it has been a very busy week and I am going to take a nap on my bed (It says Princess on it and it is pink) .
I’m a lucky Dog!!!
Trinkit Beebe 3-1-07)
Well my new name is Trinkit (cool name HUH) Other than they dress Me funny! My new home is great. Everyone comes over to see me. They even had a puppy shower for me. Lots of new toys and more funky clothes! OH well!!
MY new Momma and Daddy really treat me great. I play a lot and I have learned to fetch and speak already. (pretty cool HUH). I weighted 2lbs .8. Oz and my hair is starting to turn more brown. I am pretty good at my potty training! Only a couple of mistakes. I can get up the stairs to the RV but I have trouble getting down. So I speak and they come get me. I do real good on my leash and I love to run!!!
My Daddy is a real push over! Momma is real sweet and she holds me in her coat in the morning when it is cool outside!
Other than that I am just hanging out In lake Havasu and loving it. (2-13-07)
Donna-
I don't know if I sent these to you or not...
Here's a "Barkley" update -- our wonderful pup (son of Banchee)... including shots at the NBC11 San Jose Holiday Parade (that's my wife Sarah in the photo too). He won a parade silver ribbon! Note: he wants
to eat it in one of the pictures.
He's such a good boy -- looks like Banchee in many ways...
I know Sarah wishes he could have puppies so we'd insure another generation of dogs just like him. That's the reason why we're so interested in your pups -- he turned out so amazingly well. Thank you!

Hi Donna,
Hi Donna,
Hope all is well. It’s been hectic over here, add that to computer/server ??? problems I haven’t had a chance to send you an update.Goofy is the most adorable dog!!!! He has adapted to housebreaking via front door being left open, or he sits by it if it is closed. He is about 7 ½ to 8 lbs now, and his coat is still so soft. Our groomer wants to wait and see what type of coat he is going to get, before she does any serious cutting. He is really good for both her and ourselves. He lets me trim around his eyes with no problem. His coat still has some of the black markings, mainly his beard and tail. There is just a bit of black on his paws. He likes being brushed and even seems to like playing in water! He sits by the tub when Tammy takes her bath, and she splashes him when he talks to her! I just hope he never jumps in with her!!! (I’d catch him, as Tammy doesn’t bath without supervision, but it is really cute to watch the 2 of them)Our Lab and Goofy seem to get along just wonderfully. Again, it’s really funny to see the 2 of them playing, one is so big and black, and the other is so short and golden. When Goofy is tired he stops, or comes over the door and scratches to be let in.We are waiting for our vet to get back from his vacation so he can tell us if Goofy is ready to be neutered. That will be the next stressful thing to go through. I worried when we had our lab fixed, but she was bigger, and Goofy is so small (OK he’s not that small but he’s lots smaller than our Lab).Gotta get going. Will try and get some pics so you can see him.
Thanks again

A recent picture of Baby. Just wanted to say hi, and let you know Baby is doing well. I just love her so much! Hope all is well with you. Julie :) 6-2006) Just received her 2nd dog from me 4-7-07.
Dear
Donna,
So our
Orzo
turned 1
in April
and of
course
we
celebrated
with
frosty
paws ice
cream!
He
didn't
like it,
go
figure.
He is a
fantastic
dog and
we are
considering
another
one. We
would
love to
breed
him
merely
for a
puppy.
He
definately
has a
personality
of his
own. We
have a
great
groomer
Margaret
at
PetsMart
and he
goes
monthly
to get
his
trims,baths,
etc. He
is so
funny
when we
pick him
up, he
is mad
for the
rest of
the day
and even
though
we
always
tell him
how
handsome
he is,
he
doesn't
care, he
hides in
his
crate.
We keep
his hair
short in
the
summer
due to
the
heat.
We are
great
parents,
just
wanted
you to
know, we
love our
dog and
may be
visiting
for
another
one!
Thanks
again
for your
puppies
and I
checked
out your
new
babies...so
cute! I
would
have a
dozen if
I could!
:)

Good evening Donna!

Hi Donna. I don't know if you remember me but I bought Sadie from you almost 3 years ago. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I sent her picture to the Ellen Degeneres show and they picked her picture and had it blown up and put on stage for the show this Monday 5/1 for the "Best in Show" show with Paris Hilton. She is the only Shih Tzu up there and she is the only one with bows. I think I emailed you the same picture a while back so you might recognize her. I just thought you might be interested in watching it so you can show off one of your babies. Take care and thank you again for the best baby ever. Kelli (4-30-06)
Hope you had a nice Easter. Gus is doing great. He is such a lover. I have been able to take him to work with me, or work from home, so we spend pretty much all day together. He is sooo friendly with strangers and loves other dogs (I still keep him away from the ones I don't know till his last shot). My roommate has a 5 yr old pug that lets Gus crawl all over him. It is very sweet.
Hi Donna,
Just wanted to let you know how my little sweet pea Penny is doing (she is from Furby’s litter). Penny just turned one year old last week and I couldn’t be more in love with this dog. She is the best thing to come into my life in a long time and she just makes every day a little better. Look how much she has changed in a year. Here she is at three months.
Christee (4-18-06) now getting her 2nd pup from me.
Hi Donna,
Hi Donna,Duncan is doing great so far. He whined for about 5 minutes in the car then slept the entire trip home. He is a cuddler.When I introduced him to the 3 dogs, Griffin the German Shorthaired Pointer sniffed him then to show who's in charge, Griffin peed onDuncan's head. I think I remember him doing the same thing to Penney when I brought her home.Each time I have put him in his crate, he whines for a few minutes but responds well to talking to him. As long as he can see us he stops whimpering and seems at home in the crate. I had put one of my old t-shirts in there for him to lay on. Has done great today with going poddy when I take him outside. He cuddles right up to everyone in the family. The boys are already arguing about who he gets to sleep with.Until he's poddy trained and big enough to run around the house all the time, he will sleep in the little crate in their bed. We did that with Penney and now she sleeps in my bed cuddled up to me.Thanks so much.Cindy (2-11-06)
Good morning, Donna...
Well, Murphy is
doing soooooo well!
He seems to have
settled right in,
and was a wonderful
traveler. He slept
much of the way.
He's
adjusting to the
outdoors slowly...I
don't think he had
been outside,
had he? Anyway,
during the warm
hours yesterday I
took him outside and
he was very good
about taking care of
his business. We
keep puppy pads
out for him in the
kitchen when it's
too cold outside,
and he is using
them ALL the time.
And yes, he is such
a sweetie...he loves
to cuddle
so much! I think
that today I will
start adjusting him
to his
crate...in just
minutes at at time.
He has been sleeping
in a little
bed for now, in the
laundry room. He
only whimpers when
first put in
there, then is quiet
for the whole
night. I'd like
him to adjust to a
crate so that we can
leave him in it not
only at night, but
during the
day for an hour or
two when we run
quick errands. The
instructions
with the crate that
we bought, said to
adjust the puppy to
it very
slowly. So for now,
things are
wonderful, and it's
so nice to have a
sweet puppy to
snuggle with. I am
enjoying every
minute of this
special
time. And Donna, I
think that he just
may have his mamma's
wonderful
personality. When I
put a little harness
on him to take him
out of the
car on our trip
home, he did not
kick at it at all.
Yesterday I put his
little collar
on...again he was
just calm and laid
back about it. And,
he lets me take
things out of his
mouth! Our Doogie
was NOT good about
that, so I'm working
on that with Murphy
every day! I'll
keep you
updated on his
progress.
Thanks so much for
being so patient
with all my emails,
all my
questions, and for
sending all the
pictures. And you
were right, when
you said that it had
been a long wait for
us! I so appreciate
your
attention, and
mostly I appreciate
the kindness and
love you obviously
had shown to Murphy
since his birth.
Thank you, thank
you, thank you.
I'll stay in touch,
and send some
pictures when his
looks begin to
change.
Fondly...Vivian

OH MY GOD!
Hi Donna:
| Hey Donna, I have been so busy with my girls I haven't sent you any pictures..... This is Lola after being Groomed and SPAYED!!!!!! Yes she is a woman!!!!!! She did really well......

She hates the antlers but loves the scraf!!!! Kiya |
Hi Donna,
I haven't given you
an update on the
puppies in
several months and
thought you would
like to see a
picture of them.
They are doing great
now. Both are
healthy and happy.
They were both fixed
just a couple of
weeks ago.
Both are potty
trained, and they
both did very well
in
obedience and
socialization
school. Kramer has
the
sweetest personality
and he just loves to
play and
loves people - he is
also addicted to
corn starch
bones, he can go
through one in just
a couple of days.
Cosmo is a little
bossier than Kramer,
he's very
demanding at times,
but thats because
we've spoiled
him. He loves to
eat chicken jerky
and gets so
excited when we pull
one out to give him
- he will "go
to his house" and
just sit in his
crate and eat it.
They both love going
to the dog park and
playing with
other dogs - we're
very lucky to have a
small dog park
right near our house
- though they would
love to be
able to play with
the big dogs as well
as they have no
fear of them.
As you can see from
the picture
Cosmo(closer to the
camera, the first
dog we picked up)
has changed his
coloring a bit, he
lost his mask around
his eyes, he
is very short and
has trouble jumping
on the couch, he
gets mad at Kramer
because Kramer is
taller and able
to get up no
problems and its
funny to watch.
Cosmo
weighs about 10
pounds now, Kramer
is about 13 or 14
now.
I just wanted to
thank you again for
them, they are so
wonderful and we
couldn't be happier!
Hope all is well!

Hi Donna,
Just thought I'd say
hi and give you an
update on Orzo. He
is doing great, we
love him lots!! :)
He is quite the
traveler, we went to
Illinois this summer
for 3 weeks and we
drove and of course
took Orzo with us,
he did great and he
loved my parents
place, they live in
the country so he
had lots of room to
run!!
Next week we are off
to Pismo Beach for a
week and of course
he will be going
too, he should love
that, we call him
"water dog" he
always trys to get
in the sprinklers,
any water.
He has had 2 puppy
trims and this month
he gets a cut, I
hate to cut his hair
but it is hard to
keep him nice, my
daughter brushes him
nightly, he still
isn't wild about
that. He finally
walks well on his
leash, that took
awhile, but now he
knows every morning
after son goes to
school he gets to go
for a walk.
We are just so
happy, I read my
mail to you, it
sounds as though he
is one of our
children, I guess he
is in most ways.
Except food, we
strictly made the
rule he is to have
no human food, and
when we eat he could
care less, he is
perfectly happy with
his dog food and
treats.
Ok well I have taken
enough of your time.
Thanks again,
Tammy (9-8-05)

Just wanted to give you some new pix of our little shortie. she went from a 3 lb dark beauty to a 12 lb fair maiden in 6 months. she's really become a wonderful girl that we love and we love very much. i am letting the hair on her face grow so that i can pull it away from her eyes so she's suffering a little right now w/hair in her eyes, but it will be worth it down the road when i can pull it away from her eyes. as i write the email, the kids are practicing their flute and shortie is either singing or complaining about their notes - i'm not sure but it is funny.
Oh My GOD Donna I don't know where you came from but you are our ANGEL! Diamond is the BEST pet I have ever owned! It's 12:50 am and he's eating Donna he gave the kids kisses. He is laying down so they can pet him he only whined once and that's when we got him out of his cage at the airport and he wagged his tail so much he knew he were his new family! The men said he was so beautiful and there were 6 of them loll. He didn't cry on the train home and that was 45 minutes. He is so gentle and so BEAUTIFUL, he is the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. I thank GOD for you because there was something in you Donna that brought a smile in my heart. People need to know what an OUTSTANDING job you have done with our baby. I was proud of you BEFORE he even got here, I was excited before we laid eyes on him. I just knew that in my heart that he was raised with so much love. You have so much love to give and it shows with Diamond! I can never tell you thank you enough as the tears fill up in my eyes I know where you came from and that was from GOD! He sent us an ANGEL named Donna

Another update from Krista 8-2005
Donna:
Just wanted to let you know that "Mizsuki" is doing well. She is
such a
smart little girl and has fit right into our life and
"Charlie's" (our Bijon). She weighs 4.65 lbs. She is a
good traveler and
we love her to death. Just wanted to thank you
again for such a sweetheart.

Donna, I just wanted to thank you for all your support and assistance. Thank you for letting us into your home and for your honesty. I had a lot of questions and you were very patient and very kind. The puppy we choose was definitely the right decision. Thank you for being so helpful and for helping us make the right decision. He is just a wonderful gift. He has already used his puppy pads several times on his own. All we do it show him where it is after a nap. When he goes I just praise him like crazy and give him a treat. He isn’t afraid of anything and very loving and affectionate, just like you said. We did have to get him a collar with a bell because he does follow you around everywhere. We still haven’t decided on a name. He is more wonderful than I ever imagined and I want to come up with something perfect just to fit his personality. He hasn’t cried at all and slept all through the night in his crate. I was really surprised at that. Most dogs will cry all night long on the first night or so. He started to wine at about 6:30am this morning and when I opened his crate he stepped out and started to tinkle. I just picked him up and he stopped until I got him to the puppy pad. I already gave him a bath. He was ok at first and then got squirmy about half way through. He is so tiny though it only took about a minute to bathe him. After his bath he was pooped. When he goes to sleep I just put him back in his crate for his own safety and he crawls in and curls up. I just keep checking on him and if he is ready to come out he will stand up and wag his tail. Our Great Dane, Lil’Man is really good with him and he wine a little as Lil’Man is approaching, but wagging his tail the whole time. It is the cutiest thing I have ever seen. The cats don’t really seem to be bothered, but the cute thing is that his color right now looks just like my cat Isabelle. I’ll attach a pictures of her. I am still not sure about Belle, but the puppy sleeps so much that she still gets to comes in and out like before. When I have the puppy out, I just put Belle outside to stay with Lil’Man. It is working well so far. It is just another sign that everything is going to be perfect.
Well I better let you go. I just wanted you to know how happy I am and how well he is doing. Even I am surprised at how he just made himself at home. He was made for me.
Thanks again and I’ll keep in touch with updates and pictures.
Sincerely, Olivia
Debra Halcrow
Another update form DebraHi Donna: Good morning! The puppy is doing just fine. We are really enjoying her. She seems so sweet and well-adjusted. She has not cried that much and we are slowly getting her use to her play pen and put it in the bedroom with us at night. She cries when she has to go potty and then goes back to sleep. Eat, sleep, play and eliminate. I guess thats it until she is around 12 weeks old. She is precious and so cute, I just can't describe how cute she is. We will wait to name her until she is with us longer. She is eating the Nutromax puppy food just fine. I soften it up a bit but she has quite a few teeth.

Hi Donna,
I hope you have been fine - and that all your babies are doing well.
I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am for the baby I received from you. I am so totally happy with her.

Hi
Donna,
Just
thought
I'd
say
hi
and
give
you
an
update
on
Orzo.
He
is
doing
great,
we
love
him
lots!!
:)
He
is
quite
the
traveler,
we
went
to
Illinois
this
summer
for
3
weeks
and
we
drove
and
of
course
took
Orzo
with
us,
he
did
great
and
he
loved
my
parents
place,
they
live
in
the
country
so
he
had
lots
of
room
to
run!!
Next
week
we
are
off
to
Pismo
Beach
for
a
week
and
of
course
he
will
be
going
too,
he
should
love
that,
we
call
him
"water
dog"
he
always
trys
to
get
in
the
sprinklers,
any
water.
He
has
had
2
puppy
trims
and
this
month
he
gets
a
cut,
I
hate
to
cut
his
hair
but
it
is
hard
to
keep
him
nice,
my
daughter
brushes
him
nightly,
he
still
isn't
wild
about
that.
He
finally
walks
well
on
his
leash,
that
took
awhile,
but
now
he
knows
every
morning
after
son
goes
to
school
he
gets
to
go
for
a
walk.
We
are
just
so
happy,
I
read
my
mail
to
you,
it
sounds
as
though
he
is
one
of
our
children,
I
guess
he
is
in
most
ways.
Except
food,
we
strictly
made
the
rule
he
is
to
have
no
human
food,
and
when
we
eat
he
could
care
less,
he
is
perfectly
happy
with
his
dog
food
and
treats.
Ok
well
I
have
taken
enough
of
your
time.
Thanks
again,
Tammy

Hi
Donna,
I
haven't
given
you
an
update
on
the
puppies
in
several
months
and
thought
you
would
like
to
see
a
picture
of
them.
They
are
doing
great
now.
Both
are
healthy
and
happy.
They
were
both
fixed
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
Both
are
potty
trained,
and
they
both
did
very
well
in
obedience
and
socialization
school.
Kramer
has
the
sweetest
personality
and
he
just
loves
to
play
and
loves
people
- he
is
also
addicted
to
corn
starch
bones,
he
can
go
through
one
in
just
a
couple
of
days.
Cosmo
is a
little
bossier
than
Kramer,
he's
very
demanding
at
times,
but
thats
because
we've
spoiled
him.
He
loves
to
eat
chicken
jerky
and
gets
so
excited
when
we
pull
one
out
to
give
him
- he
will
"go
to
his
house"
and
just
sit
in
his
crate
and
eat
it.
They
both
love
going
to
the
dog
park
and
playing
with
other
dogs
-
we're
very
lucky
to
have
a
small
dog
park
right
near
our
house
-
though
they
would
love
to
be
able
to
play
with
the
big
dogs
as
well
as
they
have
no
fear
of
them.
As
you
can
see
from
the
picture
Cosmo
(closer
to
the
camera,
the
first
dog
we
picked
up)
has
changed
his
coloring
a
bit,
he
lost
his
mask
around
his
eyes,
he
is
very
short
and
has
trouble
jumping
on
the
couch,
he
gets
mad
at
Kramer
because
Kramer
is
taller
and
able
to
get
up
no
problems
and
its
funny
to
watch.
Cosmo
weighs
about
10
pounds
now,
Kramer
is
about
13
or
14
now.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
again
for
them,
they
are
so
wonderful
and
we
couldn't
be
happier!
Hope
all
is
well!
-Albert

Hey Donna,
I have been so busy with my girls I haven't sent you any pictures..... This is Lola after being Groomed and SPAYED!!!!!! Yes she is a woman!!!!!! She did really well...... She is about 13 lbs.... I think that is because we feed her all the time.... She is the best dog..... Her temperment is the best.....She get compliments all the time.... How are you and your busy schedule???? I check out your site from time to time...... You have some beutiful dogs...... You should cross the greeds again..... I have alot of people who want one..... Like her groomer...... Well I hope you have a great Chrsitmas and Happy New Year!!!! Don't forget about us !!!!!!! I will send more pictues over the holidays..... Lola has antlers and a scraf!!!!! She hates the antlers but loves the scraf!!!! Kiya 12-06 |
how is everything?? I hope you will be enjoying the holidays to come with family and friends. I took a new picture of Brady's Java Frost with his hair up for you to see. he is so cute...such a good boy. loves for me to brush him out each night and lets me do his hair. His hair is still a little damp in this picture since I had just brushed him out for the night. He had a ear infection for some reason and had to get prescription from the vet to help it. have you had that problem with either parent ? I have pulled his ear hairs very good and try to keep them very clean and dry...I know it is common with this breed. they are all better now. How is his mommy Laci? still doing really well we hope...
take care, Phyliss
Good morning,
Donna...
Well, Murphy is doing soooooo well! He seems to
have settled right in,
and was a wonderful traveler. He slept much of the
way. He's
adjusting to the outdoors slowly...I don't think he
had been outside,
had he? Anyway, during the warm hours yesterday I
took him outside and
he was very good about taking care of his business.
We keep puppy pads
out for him in the kitchen when it's too cold
outside, and he is using
them ALL the time. And yes, he is such a
sweetie...he loves to cuddle
so much! I think that today I will start adjusting
him to his
crate...in just minutes at at time. He has been
sleeping in a little
bed for now, in the laundry room. He only whimpers
when first put in
there, then is quiet for the whole night. I'd like
him to adjust to a
crate so that we can leave him in it not only at
night, but during the
day for an hour or two when we run quick errands.
The instructions
with the crate that we bought, said to adjust the
puppy to it very
slowly. So for now, things are wonderful, and it's
so nice to have a
sweet puppy to snuggle with. I am enjoying every
minute of this special
time. And Donna, I think that he just may have his
mamma's wonderful
personality. When I put a little harness on him to
take him out of the
car on our trip home, he did not kick at it at all.
Yesterday I put his
little collar on...again he was just calm and laid
back about it. And,
he lets me take things out of his mouth! Our Doogie
was NOT good about
that, so I'm working on that with Murphy every
day! I'll keep you
updated on his progress.
Thanks so much for being so patient with all my
emails, all my
questions, and for sending all the pictures. And
you were right, when
you said that it had been a long wait for us! I so
appreciate your
attention, and mostly I appreciate the kindness and
love you obviously
had shown to Murphy since his birth. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
I'll stay in touch, and send some pictures when his
looks begin to
change.
Fondly...Vivian
hi donna,some of these are better than others its hard taking pics of dogs,we just love her ,thank you, and happy easter. eva
Hey Donna!
Donna,
Hello Donna,
Here is my update on Poker. He is doing well. Happy, cheerful, and CRAZY! I have so much fun with him each day!!! I just wanted to thank you for everything you had done for me. You were there to when Poker got sick and was worried with me. I appreciate that so much. Wells, this is what happens with Poker all day long. First thing in the morning he would wake up before all of us and jumps on the bed and start kissing(licking) my face, that is his way of "waking me up" and also my alarm clock!!! If I have work then he stays at home with my boyfriend, which is adores. But when my boyfriend is at work, Poker is home with me. We have this system going. But when we are out i.e grocery shopping Poker will be waiting for us on our bed when we come home. Poker is the light of my day and I love him so much. I don't know where I would be without him. I feel more stress-free with him in my life. When I am at work I try to get home as soon as possible because I
know my baby is going to be there waiting for me to play with him. Sometimes when we are watching a movie and Poker hears the loud gun sounds he would get scared and would jump on the bed and curl up next to me. I just love him so much and very grateful that I found you to give me this ray of sunshine. Thank you so much. I'll update more, with more silly stories about him!!!
--Lisa
P.S: Poker is sleeping right now. If he knew I was writing about him he would of lick me silly!!!
