Hi Kristi!

We celebrated Mika's 3rd Birthday on Sunday, August 28th with a trip to the lake. She loves being in the water and swimming! She even relaxed on the foam noodles for awhile! Our 1 1/2 year old son is her favorite buddy and those two are always up to something :)

Thanks again for introducing us to our darling little Mika! (pronounced Mee-ka).

Hi,

I haven’t sent you a picture of Nellie in awhile and thought I would share a vacation picture with you. She loved the kayak and was very upset when she had to get out. She’s a great dog and is a very important part of our family.

Hope things are good with you - thanks for adding such an important member to our family.

Hi Chad,

Just wanted to send some photos of Cooper.  He is doing great.  He's so sweet.  Everyone who meets him falls in love with his easy going nature.

This past weekend, we were out of town and we left him for the first time with some friends.  They hadn't really met him before and they absolutely loved him.  They've been trying to figure out what kind of dog they want to get and they've decided they too want a labradoodle.  We've told them all about you guys and we've sung your praises. 

 Enjoy the pictures.  We're getting ready to start obedience school.

Take care,
Julie Arza

Hi Kristi,
Thought I would share this picture of Lexi & her big sisters, Reba & Dolly.  Lexi is doing great! Life got much easier when she figured out the doggy door.:)  She is very smart, and is learning her basic obedience very quickly and easily. She is also doing well with fun retrieving, and loved her first trip to the beach.  Just wanted to let you know how well she is doing, and to thank you again for breeding such a special puppy.

Kristi,

    Lily is doing well. She is very calm and low key- super sweet. We love her so much! 
   Her coat looks like it will have just enough wave, and hopefully won't mat too much. She has been getting brown hair on her legs, and muzzle and some on her back. Maybe she will look like Trisha when she is older.
   We went to Kentucky in July and Lily and Hudson came along and stayed in the hotel with us. She handled it well and it was great for socialization-tons of people, elevators, all kinds of new things.
   She finished puppy class at Pet Smart and we will start another class soon.

hi, kristi!...attached are some pics of molly malone (9 mos) at home and out kayaking in newport bay…
she was ready to take on a male sea lion the other day…it was all i could do to keep her in the kayak…

we cannot keep her out of the water when she gets near the bay or the beach…she chases frisbees and balls in the water…jumps off docks…she also pool swims, but definitely prefers open water….she has a great temperament and is very very intelligent….

training is going incredibly well…..she has us almost trained. ----- pat & john

Harry's first day with his family

I can't tell you how pleased we are with Harry! Especially his temperament!!
He is such a lover. He is the bomb!

hi kristi!

just thought i'd share this dress up picture of tagger.  the girls decided against the bride and went with cleopatra...tagger, the new queen of the nile.  poor boy, he's such a good sport.  he'll definitely be trick-or-treating with us this year. i think we may make him a spider bc he's got those long legs! :)

we've had some beautiful am walks at blandy.  they have a ginko grove there and it was just amazing this am.  of course the beauty of the landscape is lost on tagger...he's just after his whistle ball!  i'll try and get some pics of him out there. i feel so lucky to have such a nice place to let him run!

hope all is well.

A year ago we came and picked up Sophie.

 

She has been and continues to be a delight. 

We are so happy and thankful to have her in our life. 

Thank you for letting us choose her. 

  

Heartfelt thanks,

Ann, Jim & Sophie Butler

 

Hi Kristi!

Just wanted to check in and tell you how wonderful Dexter is doing. He is so smart and sweet! He had a little ear infection when we got home but that has cleared up and he is feeling much better and is much more comfortable. We are 99% potty trained and doing great with not chewing. He is so well behaved. He loves his crate and rarely protests. As of last monday he weighed 15.33 lbs so he is growing like a weed. 

Thank you so much for everything and I will be sure to keep you updated on his progress.

Hi Kristi,

 

We got Charlie from you a week ago yesterday. 

 

He is doing wonderful. 

 

He is a great addition to our family. 

 

Here are some pictures of him and Maci (got Maci from you Nov. 2009 she will be 2 in October) hope you enjoy.

 

Hi Kristi,
Here is a picture of Lexi relaxing in her favorite place on the cool marble in front of the fireplace. She is doing great & everyone has fallen in love with her.
Jo Anne

Hi Kristi and Chad,
Here is your boy at rest on the marble floor in front of our fireplace in the master bedroom. All tired after I just finished walking him in the neighborhood. We are both pooped. The heat is a real killer. I wish it would rain so it would cool off.
BTW he is doing great. His first obedience class yesterday and i know he is going to do great. He is almost already sitting on command. Then he gets a treat.
You were so right he is an absolute love, although stubborn at times we all adore him and he seems to be happy.

You will appreciate this photograph.
It is Ivy's stuffed hippopotamus she brought home from your house 1 and a half years ago.
Even though I have washed it many times, it is filthy, but Ivy loves it all the more.
We call it Dirty Hippopotamus.
We are forced to play fetch Dirty Hippopotamus everytime we sit on the couch to watch tv.
I cannot believe Ivy has not torn him to shreds.
Like the Velveteen Rabbit, he has most of the fur loved off of him.

Air hugs, Jennifer, Russ and Ivy

Thought you would like to see this.  We walk the dogs for an hour each morning and afternoon.  This is a stream that goes by the path we go on through the woods.  He likes jumping in it and then lays right down in the water.

"Frankie" is great - he has completed puppy training and we start in Sept. with obedience. 

He came to us potty trained, walks beautifully on the leash (and never pulls) and is crate trained.  All gifts from you to us and we thank you.  He has learned to "sit", "down" and "stay" is getting better each day and he has been trained with the invisible fence. 

All good.  Thanks again for all you do.

Kristi,
Hi ,it has been a little while, but we are still here in Ft.
Lauderdale with Bella, our darling girl. (Richie and Daze). She is an
absolute darling, enthusiastic, exactly as you said, "quiet girl", yet
totally communicative, super smart and playful. We have just gone
through an incredible year where our oldest son and his wife gave
birth to their first- a granddaughter- Angelina, our youngest and his
wife are pregnant with twin boys, and Bruce's Mom just passed away
after a horrible time with Advanced Parkinson's. But, Bella- through
all of it, has been our lifesaver. (Never a therapy dog- due to our
family commitments, but Obedience Trained and always a source of
comfort for us.)
Fondly, Heidi Marie

 

 

Hi there, Kristi and Chad,

 

I thought you'd get a kick out of this photo of Eli.

 

Can't believe she's almost two!

 

She's the best girl ever.

 

Hope you are doing well & having a good summer.
