Hi Amy,Chloe graduated from "puppy preschool" today. I'm attaching her picture. She learned "sit," "down," "come," and "wait." She played a lot with the other puppies--she's very social. We've been giving her lots of new experiences every day--meeting new people, going places (even all the way to Cleveland!). She and our Bearded Collie, Cassidy, play together so well. It's really fun to watch them. Housebreaking is going well, too. Chloe has learned to ring a bell at the back door when she needs to go out. If she actually "makes potty" she gets some extra playtime outside. She is being "lovingly spoiled" by everyone--especially us! Thank you for being a responsible breeder and for letting us be "puppy parents" to our sweet Chloe. Karen
Hi Amy, Just a little note to let you know that Addie and Blaise are doing great. On the ride home, they both whined a little so we put them next to each other with their “Mommy Blanket” and then they stopped. The first night, Tommy and I woke up many times to listen for them, to see if they were sad. They didn’t cry the whole night. They went straight in their crate and snuggled around. Our kids have been getting up extra early to let them out and play with them. They love running around and pouncing each other. They have already brought us so much joy! It’s like having a new baby in the house, except I am not post-partum. Thanks for all the care you gave them. I will be sure to send pictures, especially our Christmas one that the kids are already planning.

I just learned how to e-mail pictures so I hope this works. We have fallen in love with Emmy. Everyone that meets her loves her including the vet. He wants to take her home. I keep saying I think it's the breeder and the breed of dog that makes her so great. Don't be surprised if you get a few calls from Wyoming, Ohio on future litters. Anyway thanks again for Emmy. Our family has adjusted well to life with a dog. She has been a real joy. Kelly
Amy, He is doing wonderfully. He's my little sidekick. I'm so incredibly happy to have him. He's adorable and sweet, and friendly with everyone. I photograph him A LOT so he's gotten used to the camera. I hope you are well. I will keep in touch and continue to send you photos of little Artie. All the best to you and your family, Anna
Hi Amy!
I hope things are going well for you and your family, and your Havs. Dave and I are doing great, and Gracie is well loved and taken care of. I thought you would enjoy seeing her 3 year old pictures! The darker one where she is standing under the sideboard next to the pantry, that's where she waits to get her treat after she's gone outside. :) If I forget, she will stand there until I take care of it! She is absolutely adorable. She's not a girly girl - she doesn't like to get brushed but she tolerates it. As soon as I have her all pretty looking, she rolls all over the floor until her hair is all messed up and then she's happy again. :) I've tried to put little clips or a bow in her hair to show off her pretty eyes but she will not allow it - she will work until it's out and then mess up her hair again!
We have two grandsons now; Conner is 5 and we now have Logan; today is his first birthday.
Blessings to you. Brenda
Hi Amy, Oliver and Bella are scheduled for their operations the first Thursday in March. We decided on laser surgery. My daughter will be on spring break the next week so someone will be with them all of the time. We have separate dog playpens that we are going to place beside each other so they do not chew each others stitches, but will be close since they have never been separated. I am going to order another bed so they each have one. I got them groomed on Monday so they are ready. I dread it and cannot wait until it is over. Everyone loves them! Bella is a real lady and Oliver is all boy. I bought Kong toys and filled them with peanut butter to keep them occupied. They have every toy imaginable! They cannot wait to go outside again. We received 4 feet of snow. Don said to tell you that in the morning Bella lays in her bean bag chair and just yawns, but Oliver has to grab a toy and carry it around and jump on him. Kathy
Eddie's hair isn't too long, but it's mainly because I'm keeping it clipped for now. We found a great groomer nearby that only does small dogs and I've been going with her suggestions thus far. She does a great job and she LOVES Eddie. She gushes over him every time I bring him in and says how "special" he is compared to other dogs. He's pretty ok with going there, too.
