| Hey John, Just wanted to give you a Steve 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. NEW UPDATE: Hi Gary, I just wanted to let you know that Stevie passed his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test through the AKC. It is similar to the test that he will have to take to be certified as a therapy dog through the Delta Society. I’m looking to continue his obedience classes at a place called Best Paw Forward up in Sanford. They should start next week. He is doing really well and has been swimming almost every day. I don’t know what he will do now that the weather is getting cooler. I hope you both are doing well. - Meredith |

| Daisy is a wonderful dog and she starts puppy training tonight! We have been crate training her, and she has done well. She sleeps in our daughters bedroom and during the day we have another crate for the downstairs. I take her to the office when I go in and now all the staff gets mad if I show up without her. She is my constant companion and follows me everywhere I go (including the bathroom!) 'til our daughters come home from school, then its major play time. She already knows how to sit on command and loves (and I mean loves) to play with empty water bottles. Who knew I could have saved all that money on the toys I bought at Petsmart. You may want to try it with your dogs, just make sure the paper label is removed and they will chew for hours! I think she likes the sound it makes. I promise to send some pics soon. Take care, - Rosemarie |
| Marni - female Hebrew name that means "Joyous"! Marni at 6 months Marni at 8 weeks Ivy and Gary - I wanted to send you a quick email to let you know Marni is an amazing puppy! She and Zak are getting along beautifully. She keeps him on his toes. Marni has such a sweet disposition and incredibly intelligent! I have not had ONE accident! I thought I would have to clean her training kennel when I got home this evening but NO mess! She has even started going to the door. Isn't that amazing! I've only had her three days. I can't believe how wonderful she is. I truly believe she is a gift from above! Take Care and God Bless! - Lori, Zak and Marni P.S. She chased her first lizard this evening. It was hilarious! Hello Ivy and Gary -Just a quick update on Marni - She is wonderful - In the past couple of weeks I introduced her to my sister, a good friend of mine, my aunt and my uncle! Of course, they all thought she was precious and beautiful. What makes me feel so good is that she is SOOOO Happy and secure here. She literally bounces around all over the house. I don't worry about house training anymore because she goes to the door.... even if it is raining! What she has done for Zak and I since we lost Sami is nothing short of a miracle! Several people have commented on how my demeanor has changed from losing Sami to getting my new little angel - which is exactly what she is!. She and Zak play constantly - it is soooo funny and I find myself laughing all the time!!! (so did my sister and my friend Peri) They just cracked us up! Anyway, I'll close for now. Thanks |
| Dear Ivy, Thanks again for Jesse. He's become part of the family! Please see the attached testimony and pictures. If you have any trouble getting them just e-mail me back. In Christ, Jeremy |
| Inkie's first night. Thank you for a great pup and a very nice transaction/encounter with you-all. - Patrick and Caroline |
John and Ivy, get a miracle dog? Can I tell you that since I relieve himself in my home? And I promise, 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 he gets very happy, goes to the bathroom first, 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 him 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 8 am, and when I returned at noon to let him out and feed him, I found that he had not relieved himself in his crate either. At eight weeks! Is that unheard of, or am I overreacting? I know dogs will do den whatever they can to make sure to keep their control at eight weeks? I find it amazing. 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 3 am, and again at 6 am. 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 kmow right away what to do and where! Anyway, we want to thank you for another great addition to our family. Sincerely, Robin and Ricky |
