| Hey John, Just wanted to give you a Stevie update. He is doing great. The vet says he is healthy and had gained almost a pound in four days. He is eating great. I am feeding him Purina One large breed puppy which the vet said was fine. I am still mixing it with the diamond food and he has had no problems. We took him out in public for the first time yesterday. We took him to Park Ave in Winter Park where there are a lot of shops and sidewalk cafes. We knew he was a show stopper but we did not realize the extent of it. Everyone we saw asked about him. I should have taken some of your cards. I did talk to one lady and her husband who want one and I told her about you. She gave me her card and I am going to email her your info today. Her name is Jean if she contacts you. He is doing great now at night. I ended up taking him out of the crate at night and just leaving him on a blanket by the bed. No accidents at all so far at night. I just think that he is such a people dog that the crate is torture at night for him. You would think he is dying. I tried the t-shirt, the hot water bottle and the ticking clock but he seems happy as a clam on the blanket and is sleeping through the night just fine. We are crating him when we leave which is fine because he knows we aren't there and he settles down and goes to sleep. Most of our close friends and family have met him and they all love him. He does great with Tim's nieces. Tim had him over at his parents' house yesterday and when I got there I didn't see him, then I saw a lump under a blanket on the floor and Tim's niece had "tucked him in." It was so funny. We are very happy with him and I will make sure to take your cards out with me the next time we take him out. I will try to send you some pictures soon. Meredith |
| John and Ivy, I have to ask you this first; did you potty train Herschel before I picked him up? Or did I just get a miracle dog? Can I tell you that since I picked him up three days ago, he has yet to relieve himself in my home? And I promise, I am feeding and watering him. I always have my eye on him, and he just likes to sit around, chew some rawhide and nap while he is inside. When I bring him outside into the yard, he gets very happy, goes to the bathroom first, and then chases my feet around the yard. I will then take him inside, feed and water him, and he will immediately follow me outside when he is done and go to the bathroom again. When Monday came, and I had to put him in the crate before I left for work. He was put in the crate at 8am, and when I returned at noon to let him out and feed him, I found that he had not relieved himself in his create either. At eight weeks! Is that unheard of, or am I overreacting? I know dogs will do whatever they can to make sure to keep their den clean, but can they have that much control at eight weeks? I find it amazing. Of course, the first night was a little rough as he howled in the cage next to my bed for some time, and then started it again at 3am, and again at 6am. But the next day I gave him a little crate training, and then that night I put the T-shirt I was wearing into his crate. He slept the entire night that night, and did not mess his crate once! He did it again last night as well! He is the best puppy I have ever met, and I can’t believe he is mine. My neighbors have 2 dogs; a large Golden and an Akita mix, and Herschel just loves them. They run around in the yard and have a great time. Herschel has no fear, at least of big dogs. When some other neighbors walked through my cul-de-sac with their Yorkies, Herschel became a little timid. I found that a little strange, but funny too. Maybe it was because the Yorkies were wearing sweaters. Please. Anyway, I wanted to send you some pictures for your website if you want to post them. They are from Herschel on his first day home. Hope all is well with you two, and I will keep you posted on Herschel’s progress. Give Jessie and Shug a treat for me for doing such a great job! You two have one as well! ;) Thanks! Paul |

| Dear John and Ivy, I'm not sure you received all the photos we sent. We wanted you to know Molson is WONDERFUL !! Shadeaux finally has another "Doodle" to keep him busy! I also read the email from Herschels owner and I must agree- Molson came home house trained!! He seemed to know right away what to do and where! Anyway, we want to thank you for another great addition to our family. Sincerely, Robin and Ricky |
| Ivy and Gary, want to let you know how much we are enjoying Jesse. She is so sweet and lovable...and so full of energy and fun! She has become Logan's shadow and follows him everywhere he goes...especially if he runs. They are the best of friends and spend all day together. When Logan gets a little older and moves into a full size bed, I have a sneaking suspicion I know exactly where Jesse will be sleeping so they can be together all day and all night. For now she sleeps on a big pillow on the floor on my side of the bed. Thank you again for bringing Jesse into our lives...and into our hearts. She is a wonderful friend. -Julie Ann |
| Just to let you know, Miss Jesse is doing fine. She spent the evening following Annie around the backyard and chasing one of Logan's kickballs. We went to Target and got her some puppy food, some rawhide, and some tennis balls. She's also found the perfect hiding place...under my feet at the computer. We had such a nice time out at your place today. Thank you for everything. I'll send pictures tomorrow. Logan fed Jesse as well as Annie & Roscoe tonight, and when it was time for bed he hugged Jesse and told her, "I luff loo, Jesse!" I'm sure the poor dog was glad to see him go to bed, he didn't want to leave her alone all night. He even hand-fed her most of her dinner! We had such a nice time out at your place today. Thank you for everything. I'll send pictures tomorrow. -Julie Ann, Lance, and Logan |

| Gary and Ivy, I can't tell you how much we love our little "Doodle"! She was house broken (crate trained) within 1 week! Doodle started obedience school last week and has got the basics down pat. She is very sociable with our other 2 dogs and with the small children in our neighborhood. She will continue her training and will work with children. I am so excited for her to work with children!! I know she will help in the healing process. Thanks!! Amanda and Stan |
