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.

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.
