Update on Remy (Tigger)

From Remy's new Mom...

Remy did great on the ride home.  Didn't sleep but just gave lots of kisses and looked around.  He spent the day on the schedule you gave (Bob is a real stickler for schedules)!  And so far no accidents at all--uses his litter box every time.  Doesn't like his crate but my daughter is at PetSmart getting a "cage-like" crate right now and hopefully he'll like that better because it's more like the one he was in.  Kate gave him a stuffed teddy bear of hers for company and he carries it all over the kitchen.  Right now he's sacked out on the sofa sleeping while I get a little reading and computer work done.

Thank you so much for being  such a good puppy mom.  You did a great job and we love him SO much!!      --  Kit

Here's a note from Bella's (Scarlet) Mom,

Just wanted to let you know that Bella has been doing awesome.  She only whined for 10 minutes at the beginning of the car ride and then quickly fell asleep for almost the whole ride home.  She has been enjoying sniffing her new environment yet still following us when we call her.  She has even mastered the small steps on our deck.  Having the litter box has also been a huge help.  She peed and pooped in the box.  The only challenge so far was her not wanting to stay in the crate with the door shut.  She has been comfortable going in and exploring it on her own but isn't comfortable being in their with the door closed.  It might be a long night.

I have attached some pictures.  Hope you enjoy seeing how happy she is.  We'll send you some more soon.

Thanks again, Jackie


















I am so appreciative for notes like this.  It is so fun to see Bella at her new home and know she is doing great!  The pictures were sent from her family.

Here's a side note:  I embellished the top photo of Bella using an online photo editing tool, www.Picnik.com.  It really is a very user friendly awesome tool for having fun with photos, or just improving them.  It has been a great help to improve my own photos for this blog.

Next Years Waiting List begins....

Yesterday we had a visit from a family who has been following this blog and wants to bring a puppy home from next years litter.  The kids were so happy to see the puppies before they had all gone home!

We'll miss you Ginger!

Ginger's family came to get their little girl today.  They decided to keep the name Ginger.  Ah that is nice.  I thought she was a little Ginger!

So they took their little girl home...Such a mixture of Sadness and Joy for me!   I think of Gingers adorable face, too cute for words...I won't be cuddling her anymore.  And then I think of the smiles on the children, even more precious.   I know Ginger will be sooo well loved.  Its fantastic!

How I wish all you families a lifetime of puppy love!

Here are our Girl Puppies and their Families

Now that all the families have chosen their puppies I am announcing which puppies will be going home with which family.  The puppy on the LEFT will go home with the family pictured to the RIGHT of them.

Family Visit #6

Our sixth family visit was this morning.

The puppies were very energetic and playful.  They were so excited to race about it was hard for the girls to hold them long enough for a pictures!

Family visit #5

Today was our fifth family visit.  The outdoor temperature was still a bit cool so we had our visit indoors.

The puppies were a little less active mid-morning, but they always exude charm without even trying.

It was such a joy to meet another wonderful family that is so excited about meeting the puppies.

On Monday we will have our sixth and final family puppy picking visit.  At that time we will announce the puppy that each family has chosen.  I know everyone is very excited for this moment so I will try to place this post before the days end!   In the meantime, Happy Easter to All!

Family visit #4

Our fourth family visit was Thursday afternoon.  The children were thrilled to meet the puppies.  They were the first family to be on our waiting list, so these little kids have been waiting a very long time!

Toffee is just the right size to hold.

Shortly after taking this picture to the right, I asked Camden what he liked best about Toffee.  He said "I like that he licks my face!"  I am still laughing about this, since my 5 yr old son said the exact same thing and so did 5 yr old, Adam, who had visited last weekend! (Adam was with the second family visit)


Camden and Adam happen to be cousins, who live a few doors away from eachother.  The two related families are both bringing one of our puppies home.  It is so great to know that their puppies will be able to have puppy play dates throughout their life.

Family visit #3

Pups from left to right are Scarlet, Taco, Peaches and Tigger

On Thursday we had our third family visit.  Like many of the others they enjoyed each puppy so much they  hated to have to choose one over the other.  I heard many people say the same thing, "If you handed us any one of these puppies we'd be happy!"

Peaches and Scarlet bounding about!

It was a gorgeous Spring day, and the it was great to sit on the lawn and let the puppies run to their hearts content.

Tigger gets some puppy love!

Family Visit #2

On Saturday we had the pleasure of introducing our puppies to another one of our beautiful families.  Little Adam and Ella came with their Mommy to choose their puppy preferences.

I was so impressed with how gentle and careful both Ella and Adam were with the little puppies.  At 2 years old little Ella already shows distinctive signs of being a lifelong doggy lover!

It was so much fun to meet them and see how ready they are to give one of these puppies a place in their hearts.

As usual one of the puppies decided to be a show-off.  This time it was Toffee who decided to show off his Beanie Baby hunting skills.

Max has a visit from his Peeps

We enjoyed a visit from Max's new family yesterday.  The kids had fun watching the puppies run and play in our front yard.

Best of all...Max looks right at home in the arms of his new family.
