Peaches is now Nala in VA
Kerwesa and her friend Rachel, with Rachel's daughter Brianna, came all the way here from VA. We had just the best time. After they left, we knew that we had some more family living in VA now.
Hopefully they will be back next summer '08, for J.A.M. (Jesus and me) camp, and maybe even another puppy :0)
"Hello Mary Ann,
Nala is such a good puppy. I took her to work with me and everyone loved her, a few of our customers asked if I would sell her, I think the look I gave them said it all. Nala is my baby and will not be for sale under any circumstance.
Judging from Nala, you have done a superb job raising those puppies. Everyone that meets her says she has such a great disposition for a 9 week old puppy. I can't believe how social, sweet and loving she is with everyone. She has picked up on house training so well. We get up early in the morning and go outside to use the bathroom and then we eat breakfast. Shortly thereafter we go out again so she is getting use to her routine and now she's starting to whine and paw at the door when she has to go. I think I have the most amazing puppy ever, she definitely has been the best choice for me. She is so smart and mischevious:) I'll have some pics for you as soon as I get them uploaded unto the computer.
I hope the CA family comes through for Splash soon so that she's not just sitting there in limbo watching all her siblings go around her. Lifeguard Joe is super sweet and we miss him if we could have we would have taken him to:) Hopefully the all get adopted out to a great home soon!
Anyway got to run, we have one more potty break before I get dressed for church. I hope you had fun at the seminar and gained a lot of useful information although you have so far raised the best puppies I have ever met. Give everyone my love. Talk to you soon. ~ Kerwesa"
Clara moves to Arkansas.
Clara was adopted by Joe and Janette, who drove up here, and had a hard time picking out just which little girl they wanted. Now little 'Prissy' Priscilla is just the one for them, and is doing wonderfully. Joe likes walking her all over and Janette is going to be doing the grooming herself.
Jim & Betty decided to take Heidi and DeeDee
Jim and Betty were looking for a 'rag dog' to ride in the car with them. Because they could see how much these 2 sisters liked playing together, Betty just could not see separating them.
I think that is so nice of them.
Jim and Betty are real animal lovers, so you can believe that
Gladys and Flora have gone to an excellent home.
It is so nice when we get to meet the people who get our puppies.
It is wonderful to visit to be able to visit on-line, and by
phone too, (our world is definitely getting smaller),
but getting to see and meet our puppies'
new parents is always very special.
Iris Papyrus - and her family.
Okay, here is the scoop :0)
Iris and Isadora - her sister, were born on May 24th, 2006.
Edith and John had just lost their Pekapoo due to illness.
Their little Mia went 'to sleep' on the same day that Iris was born. Iris is also the name of Edith's mother in law, who gave them Mia. So, when she saw little Iris up for adoption on the internet, she called me right away.
Edith flew out when the time came, to get her little Iris.
We had such a wonderful visit, besides all the e-mails and talking on the phone before that day ever came.
Since then, Grace and I got to go visit John and Edith in New York.
We had such a nice visit!!
Katharina becomes Chocolate Boggie Dance :0)
November 9, 2007
"I can not thank you enough. The photos gave her no justice - she is so beautiful!!!! This morning my boys couldnt wait to get up and see her. Jeff my oldest son opened the kennel door and said "She is so beautiful MOM" and Jayce my youngest couldnt stop hugging me. They get out of school early today and I know exactly where they will be!
Jeff's birthday is the 17th and he told me this morning he didnt want a thing - she was enough. That was great to hear that so early in the morning.
I have attached a few photos as the camera was flashing early. This is me with her and Jayce is the one on the floor. She has already found that she loves his lap. The photo of the boys was funny as they all were looking at the tv.
I will keep in touch and send photos as she grows. She made my day and still I am grinning from ear to ear. You produce quality dogs and it shows!
I think we have decided to change her name after seeing her. We havnt fully commitied yet but paper name - Chocolate Boggie Dance and call name Boggie (bo-ge)
Thanks again, definatly when add another addition to the family, I will be contacting you first.
Michelle, Kerry, Jeffrey John and Jayce Allen Elder :) "
Hannah is now Sophie
"Hi,
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We had 13 here at our RV Resort - wonderful weather
until today, then overcast and cold.
Sophie is learning to sit, go down and we are working
on stay plus shake hands. She is finished with her
shots for the next year and weighs 15+ lbs. The vet
said she can be fixed at any time.
Here are some pictures I just took of her - she is
sleeping on our kitchen floor - she prefers that to
the bed I bought or carpet.
love, Sandy, Ernie and Sophie"
Sandy and Ernie were actually taking a road trip for a few months. They stopped to see the puppies when they were still
young, and decided on baby Hannah. Hannah, now Sophie joined her new family when we met down in Arkansas - Ernie and Sandy were on their return trip to CA.
