Hi Barb and Don,
Daisy is the love of our lives. She loves to
snuggle in front of the television and play with her toys. She has
adjusted to sleeping in her crate at night and seems to really enjoy
taking naps in there. Here are some updated photos of Daisy! We will
definitely be in touch,
Beth, Michael and Daisy

Hi Barb,
It was nice speaking with you yesterday.
We love Missy to death and she definitely is part of the family. I
can't wait to get her into Puppy Classes next month. She is really
smart. She already has learned to sit, down, and fetch toys and drop
them. She learned these fast when she found out she was getting some
string cheese.
Hope you enjoy the pictures I sent.

Missy 1 year old.
May, 2012
Hi Barb & Don,
Have been meaning to email you pics of Missy
(aka Cherokee) at 1 year old (April 7th). She is doing great. Loves to
play ball, go for walks, and for rides in the car. We are just amazed at
how well she rides in her pet carrier in the car. She jumps in and you
don't hear a peep out her. Sometimes we have a time getting her out of
the carrier. She really likes it
here and really likes her people. And we just love her to death.
Have a great day,
Sandy & Basil

Comanche now known as Peanut in his new home. June, 2011 |
Hi Barb and Don!
I wanted to thank you so much for
allowing us to adopt Comanche, who we are now calling Peanut! The girls
really thought that he looks like Peanut Butter so after much
deliberation, we have decided on Peanut. We have just fallen in love
with him - he's so sweet and his personality is very bold! He's not
afraid to play rough with Holly. (Although, I think I'm more afraid
of them playing rough) I have also included some pictures of him and his
new 'sister', Holly! (They have become fast friends)
He is adjusting well and seems to
really love all of the toys that are available to him; Doodles and Holly
had a whole basket full and they are now all over our living room
floor. He's really into pulling them all out and giving each
one special attention.
He enjoys spending mornings outside
exploring the patio and playing with Holly while we sit in the swing.
He hasn't dared to venture too much further out than the little pool the
girls have, but I'm sure it won't be long before he's running with Holly
along the fence line.
We have an appointment with the vet
for him in a couple of weeks for his next shots and are looking forward
to showing him off to our doxie loving vet! :-)
Hope all is well with you all!
Thanks again, we'll be in touch!
-Jeff, Heidi, Katie and Emily

June 9, 2011 update
Peanut is doing GREAT!!! We just love him more and more everyday. He's such a wonderful little pup and really loves to cuddle. I will admit that I was just a little concerned about the timing of a new puppy after Doodles, but just as I told the girls; he is really carving out his own little spot in our hearts. I will attach a new photo of him to this email so that you can see how he's grown in the past week. (I can really tell) He keeps us on our toes and the girls are such little mother hens, monitoring his every move. This picture just shows how he loves to sleep in his bed! :-) Half in and half out...

Update on Vonnegut (aka Scarecrow)
September, 2011
Hey Barb!
Sorry I haven't gotten in touch yet but Vonnegut has been keeping me
really busy! We have had no problems at all health or otherwise. William
is just jealous that Vonnegut always wants to sit in my lap and not his!
lol
His vet appointment was fine and all the people who worked there just
fawned all over him and he was such a good boy while we were there.
He is very afraid of going outside here in the city so I have to carry
him on our walks for now, but he'll get to like it I'm sure. We get
stopped on our walks a lot by people wanting to see him. He is
WONDERFUL about using the pee pads for now.
He's eating and drinking well and getting more independent in exploring
our loft, which is pretty big. He never whines during the night while in
his kennel either. He is an absolute dream. I'll send pictures as soon
as William shows me how!
Thank you so much!

Don & Barb, Just wanted to give you an update on how Louie is doing these days! After the initial sleepless week he settled down a lot and now happily sleeps through the night in his crate. We did buy him a larger crate so he would be more comfortable, and he seems to really like his doggy bed. We're in the process of housebreaking and he's been doing pretty well with it, although there are still a few accidents indoors. I'm sure he'll master it once he has better control of his bladder -- he already does a very good job of holding it at night and goes to the bathroom outside first thing in the morning. I uploaded some pictures for you guys. Thanks again for being so accessible and helping us get the puppy settled in to his new home! Sincerely, Kai and Jill |

Barb, The puppies continue to do very well! My husband loves watching the kids play with them, and yesterday TJ played with them for an hour and a half before they all decided to take a rest. Schatzie is doing better with housebreaking than Jaeger, but they are still so small I know it will take a while. She just gets right to business as soon as I take her outside, where Jaeger seems to have ADD and it takes him a while to figure out why he's there- after he plays with rocks and sticks, and sniffs and explores, etc! I am working on bell training them like I did with my other dogs too. Hope you like the pics- one is when we surprised Jeff with the puppies at work, the puppies getting a good rest after the kids went to bed, the kids showing off their favorite new puppies, Breanna making sure the puppies had all their new toys to snuggle with in bed at the same time (LOL!), and Jaeger with his new best buddy Scooby. Let me know if there is a good time to stop by with the kids for a short visit. Thanks again for our wonderful puppies! Amy |

Good morning Don and Barb! Just thought I would update you with some pictures of
Tom. He is an amazing puppy and growing up so fast! He graduated puppy school a
couple of weeks ago and was one of the best students in his class. He is also

enjoy the photos! Sincerely,

Barb,
So good to hear from you! Remember when you warned us about the
personality of a female? Oh my goodness, she has a very strong
personality and runs the males (Max and Cherokee the german sheperd).
She seems very proud of her behavour at times! She's still a petite
flower - weighing in at 9 lbs however she is the great hunter that I
dread - always bringing me "presents" of dead birds, dead mice ...even a
bunny rabbit. She's incredibly proud of her kills and it's making me
insane!!! She's still so incredibly soft and cuddly - she loves
sitting on my shoulder still just like when we first brought her home
...she's definately my girl :)
IThanks!!!

I'll send them tomorrow. Everything's going pretty good. I went on a
Jamaica trip for 10 days and had to leave her with my mom (who doesn't
like dogs) lol but she fell in love with Peanut and let her sleep with her
and everything :) so she's definitely a celebrity in the family. Oh I
forgot I have some pics from Christmas and we all have outfits lol
adorable. But I'll still send some more tomorrow. D'Linda |

December 8, 2012 Hello, I just wanted to give you an update on Roman. He is now a Texan!! We moved to Houston, Texas over the summer, and we're all still adjusting to this change/heat. Roman is doing great. He continues to love us all, and is a great little watch dog! I'm attaching a picture of him in the child seat on my bike. He loves to go for bike rides! He would love to have a playmate, and some day we'll adopt another from you. Thank you for allowing us to adopt him! The Douglas Family

Hi! Attached are updated pictures
of Reese and Rommel! Reese has thoroughly enjoyed her role as big sis and is
teaching Rommie the finer arts of chasing and cuddling. Rommie is certainly
our cuddle bug - he wants attention, and he wants it now! He loves to give
kisses and snuggle when he tuckers out. He is our vocal boy, but Reese still
hardly barks! -Ali |
Dixie and Rebel in their new home. July, 2011

July 27. 2011
Hi -
We wanted to let you
know that Rebel and Dixie are doing GREAT!!! I have been trying to send
you an email all week, but I am constantly mesmerized by our new pups.
They are so adorable. I am not getting anything done in the house,
writing or ready for school - and - I don't care! I am TOTALLY enjoying
Rebel and Dixie. They are so cute together and doing very well. They
sleep through the night without accidents or waking us up. They sleep
together in the crate that has Laney's blanket it in (along with another
blanket for padding). The crate is located inside their playpen where
water, toys and a pee pee pad is available if needed. So far, no real
accidents - I hope I have not spoken too soon. Both of them are doing
very well about going outside.
Dixie is a
character! She only wants to go where she should not go . . . hmmmmm.
She is constantly wanting to go under the couch. We put towels down to
block her. She yanks at the towels, drags them away and darts under the
couch all in less than 30 seconds . . . lol. Zak had some of his
friends over and they watched the pups while we went to an auction. ALL
of them said that it will be a loooooooong time before they have
children. Dixie really gave them a time - nothing bad - just doing what
she wanted to do and not what they wanted her to do. She is a stubborn
German red head and we love her! She howls after she has barked a few
times and feels that no one is listening . . . it is so cute.
Rebel is also doing
well. Thankfully, not as challenging as Dixie, but still as adorable.
He is definitely more laid back and relaxed, but he does play hard,
too. They both do. We love watching them play with each other. We
were concerned that Dixie kept beating up poor Rebel. When we talked to
the doctor (which I will expand on in a minute), we told him that we
would break it up because we really worried about Rebel getting hurt.
He said not to, as this is the way they play and learn. He also said
that if Rebel wanted it to stop, he could stop it. When we got home, we
let them play - again Dixie was kicking Rebel's butt. Then, he took his
paw and pushed/threw her about two feet away. She was a bit stunned but
charged him again. We felt better seeing him defend himself.
Now, for the vet
visit. Rebel weighs 4.0 pounds; Dixie weighs 2.9 pounds. They are in
EXCELLENT health and our doctor was HIGHLY impressed with the
records. He also noticed the dew claws. He said that removing this is a
sign of EXCELLENT breeders. He asked if we met the parents and of
course, we said yes - that they were a real contributing factor to our
decision. He said that he was worried when we said that we got them
from a breeder in Missouri because of all the breeding mills making
terrible headlines recently. Then, when he saw the paperwork, the pups
and heard what we had to say, he was overly impressed! We go back on
Aug 12th to get their third round of shots. He couldn't believe that
you had sent home the meds (the yellow stuff - sorry I don't remember
the technical names). All in all - he was impressed and that made us
happy. I have been meaning to email you since we saw the vet to let you
know all the good things we heard. He did say that doxies are his
favorite breed and these two are adorable (of course!) Though, I did
not tell him that Dixie's sweet look is deceiving - lol.
These pups play hard
and sleep hard. They make us laugh and are fitting in very well. Dixie
was running around as usually - like a crazy girl - then, she flopped on
a pillow and was asleep. It was so funny. We weren't sure if she was
alive (new parents nervousness), but she just wore herself out -
literally. Gretchen watches them play as they run back and forth. She
looks like she is watching a tennis game. She even starts to pant. I
think watching them wears her out. Rebel adores Gretchen and really
would like to cuddle with her. Gretchen is warming up to the idea, but
isn't quite sure yet. Pepper on the other hand has been a complete snob
- lol. She actually "ignored" the pups for the first two days. She
would turn her head and walk away as if they did not exist. Now, she is
making her presence as the alpha dog well known. She will check out the
pups on her terms, not theirs. She will growl and Dixie and Rebel just
innocently wag their tails - I'm sure glad they don't get offended like
people. Gretchen and Pepper enjoy being the only ones to sleep in the
bed, actually Dixie and Rebel have not begun to explore that far yet
anyway. Since they sleep so well in their crate, the doctor recommended
to continue to let them do this. It is healthier for everyone. They
love laying in the crate and sometimes, we even have to coax them out.
Rebel likes to keep his body inside on the cover and stick his head out
to decide if he is ready to come out. Dixie stays inside, but when she
is ready to get out - everyone will know it! LOL.
Thank you so much for
the fun and laughter you have given our home (though I can't speak for
Pepper, just yet - lol). You both were wonderful through the purchasing
process and you have helped form two little lives that make others
happy. We are grateful for what you have done. Everyone is impressed
with their socialization - you are right (though you know this), but
they are socialized well and do not fear other animals or people (heck,
Dixie fears nothing). Jeff's aunt and uncle were one of the first
people to see Rebel and Dixie; they live in Forstell. He is a puppy
trainer for schnauzers and she trains these breeds to work with the
elderly in nursing homes. They fell in love with our babies and were
also impressed at the way they acted and the way they were cared for by
you.
I could go on and on,
I'm sure you know; however, I am certain you have other pups to attend
to. I am attaching a couple pics of Rebel and Dixie.
Okay - I am off to
bed. The pups will be up by 6ish, so I should sleep while I can.
Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. We are truly blessed by you.
Jeff, Dana and Zak
- Gretchen, Pepper, Rebel and Dixie, too!

October 7, 2012 Hi Barb- How are you, this is Kim here in Maryland.I bought OP from you last year. I look at your page often and saw that OP has some new brothers and sisters, they are so adorable and look so snuggly :) I have attached a recent picture of OP. He is just as cute as could be and I just cannot get enough of him :) He is very smart he knows how to sit, stay, lay, wave, roll over, and of course his favorite is fetch. He loves to learn new tricks. He is really a beautiful dog and I could not have asked for a better dog than OP. He is so energetic all of the time but yet also loves to snuggle :) Everywhere that we take him everyone always says how adorable he is and that they love his color and have never seen one that color. Hope all is well, and just wanted to give you a little update on OP as I know you love to hear about your puppie's new homes and how they are doing. Kim

May 14, 2012 Hi Don and Barb,
There have been so many times over the past (almost) year that I have
intended to write and send pictures of the boys. Charlie (Luke
Skywalker) and Jack (Hans Solo) are doing so well. I am sure you
remember my hesitation at taking home two puppies as we intended to only
come pick up Charlie. However, Jack reminds me everyday that I made the
right decision. He is so mellow and sweet. The boys are always by each
other's side. They are so fun to watch, they play all day and keep each
other entertained, as well as us! Otis plays with them when he wants
and because they have each other when he doesn't feel like playing they
don't bug him...most of the time. They have certainly fit right into
our family. I wanted to pass on a few more recent pictures....

Hey Barb!
We named her Lilly Anne Hobbs. She is
absolutely the apple of my eye :) Everyone who sees her loves her and
she is very friendly with everyone she meets.
We are currently training on puppy pads
right now, and I'd say she's getting about a B- at that. We walk her to
the puppy pad often, and sometimes we'll sit there with her for 20-30
minutes to make sure she goes. She is getting it though!
She LOVES that blanket you gave us. It's so
funny, when she's looking a little tired, her eyes are getting heavy,
all I do is pick her up and wrap her in the blanket, pet her for about a
minute and she will go right asleep. It's like a sure-fire way to get
her to nap while I need to do things around the house, like do dishes or
laundry where I'm not able to keep a close watch on her.
She is VERY playful, with us and our
friends, and I normally have been just sitting and watching her play
with her toys all day which she loves.
Thank you so much for saving Lilly for me,
she has made me SO HAPPY!
Thanks again, Celine

Hey Barb and Don!!!
I am sorry that I haven't written sooner, but we have been busy enjoying
my sweet baby boy.
He went for his 12 week shot Saturday and he was 6 pounds 13 ounces.
It is hard to believe a month ago when we brought him home he was 4
pounds 8 ounces. I guess he is fitting in..lol
The family is crazy about him, including his doxie sister Lola. She was
a little apprehensive at first, but he won her over like he has
everyone. My husband in enjoying him, although he will never admit it.
His potty training is going very well. He is sleeping through the
night, but we had to crate him in order for that to happen. It isn't a
small plastic crate, it is what I call very large hotel room with a
view. He loves it in there. When he isn't sleeping, he is out and
about running through the house with Lola. When he sleeps, Lola wants
him to play. It is funny to watch the two of them.
I can never thank you enough for introducing me to Beau when he was just
8 days old. He has filled that empty spot that my Hoover boy left. The
funny thing is that Beau does things that Hoover used to do. My
daughter and I just look at each other and shake our heads. He likes to
move his food bowl around and has tried to tip it over with his little
man paw, he loves to lay on the carpet on his side in the sun spot when
the front door is open and the most important of all, he wants his mom
to hold him when he wants to be loved. Of course, that doesn't happen
as often as I would like, lol......but I take what I can get.
Anyway, I have attached some pictures for you. There is one that you
will see he has that duck rattle you gave him when he left home. He
loves that thing and plays with it all the time. There is also one of
him and Lola napping together, the two of them waiting for their
treat.............I will keep taking pictures and send you more later.
He loves the snow so I am going to try and get pictures of him playing
in it.
I hope these put a smile on your face!
Talk to you soon,
Kelli

Archie and Edie in their new

April 1, 2012 Hi barb and Don Archie and Edie are fantastic. They do make us smile everyday. They are both so cute and sweet. They both play so well together and are doing fantastic! They really loved the puppy park! Edie is very social with the neighborhood puppies and Archie is very protective of his sister and growls if other puppies get too close to her. They both love people, especially women when they coo over them (we think it reminds them of Barb's voice)... they seem to think that everyone that they meet should stop and love on them...they definitely get a lot of attention from our neighbors. In fact, they get a great deal of attention from everyone they encounter. Rex and John |
April 27, 2012 Barb and Don, I hope all is well with you both. We are all doing great. Archie and Edie are scheduled for their spay/neuter next Friday. I cannot believe how fast time flies. I have some bitter sweet news to share with you. I have accepted a new position in San Diego. I will be moving first then John and A&E will follow. They are excited about becoming California Doxies. We were wondering if you would like to see them before we move. We will also send u pictures to keep you updated. Rex |

March 5, 2012 Barb, Ginger received an excellent report from the vet, Dr. Edward King. She will get her shots in two weeks. He was very pleased with how healthy she seemed. She weighed in at 4 lbs. We are loving her and our other son, Austin, got to meet her late last night and came home to see her again, tonight. She is so friendly and loves to play, but is sleeping well also. Will call you the last week in March to come visit!!! Thanks, Becky |

July 21, 2012 Ginger did quite well after her surgery. You can barely see her scar already. She is a very pretty girl and now this baseball team is in love with her, too. Today she even made friends with the opposing team. We are playing baseball with Drew today but might be able to come tomorrow. It will depend on how they do tonight. If they lose, they are done. So, I will have to call you in the morning and just see if it would work for us to come after church. Otherwise, I might be able to swing by one evening while Drew is at Football camp. Anxious for you to see her again. She weighed 10 lbs. 2 oz. when I took her in for her surgery. Hope to see you soon, Becky |

Atwood
|
August 21, 2012
Well, Atwood is 6 months now. She is getting bigger everyday. And, sassier!
They both LOVE to go to the park. Vonnegut loves to go for attention
(he has learned to sit and be calm for strangers to pet him). Atwood
likes to explore. She loves to roll in the grass, smell all the
flowers ( there are a lot of different kinds at our park, so it takes
a while), and tromp in the ground level fountains. She usually gets
tired walking home and makes me carry her. She sleeps hard after our
visits.
She has learned (and of course so has Vonnegut) to sit for treats. She
can never sit all the way down because her tail is wagging to hard.
She also just jumps up on my lap whenever she wants. Vonnegut waits to
be picked up, even if you tell him to jump up lol. We are working on
her asking, and only jumping up to sit when told it's ok......she is
not really into it. I tell her no, and the minute I stop looking at
her....she jumps up on my lap again.
Atwood doesn't EVER lay down on the hardwood floor. (Vonnegut always
sleeps at my feet). She loves her doggie bed, and her blankets. Or at
least has to have Vonnegut to sleep on. lol
They are both wonderful!
This minute Vonnegut is playing at my feet, and Atwood is digging the
blanket in her bed which means she is getting ready to snuggle in and
sleep in the fading sun light. They LOVE to sunbathe. The vet laughed
when I asked about sunscreen.
Just wanted to give you an update.
Thanks again!!
Katie

October 14, 2012
So, Atwood is 8 months now!!! And Vonnegut is going to be two years in March!! They are both in great health, and as sweet and snugglely as ever. They also both love our visits to the park and the arch grounds, but Atwood loves it because she likes to explore, smell all the different flowers and plants, get her feet wet in the fountains, and best of all scratch her back on the short ruff grass patches, and Vonnegut loves it totally for the attention! And they get tons of attention! He is very good and has learned to sit and be calm for people to pet him. Atwood is happy with being petted and fussed over, but that is not her going out goal. Vonnegut thinks it is his personal parade. Atwood always gets tuckered out, and at some point refuses to walk anymore (once in the middle of a downtown crosswalk!!) and she has to (well pretends like she has to, anyway) be carried home. Atwood seems really sensitive to cold. At night she gets herself all bundled and wrapped in a blanket with Vonnegut snuggled up to the little lump she makes. So, she has her own little drawer full of sweaters, and they both have a pile of blankets all their own. Plus, when it gets to the low 40's and below I get out a space heater to put by their beds even though our heat is turned on.
She is SO sassy. It cracks me up. She bosses him when they play, and she
bosses me when she is ready for attention, and I'm doing something else.
A high pitched RUFF! with a nod of her head is what happens. And we
usually respond, lol.
They love treats of fresh fruit and some fresh vegetables. Berries, apples, and carrots are the favorites. In the summer I mix them with crushed ice. In the winter I mix them with warm plain oatmeal. I always look up everything to make sure it's safe. Thanks again for the best puppies ever. katie |

August 17, 2012 Don and Barb, Good morning! We wanted to let you know that Zoey is doing fantastic! She had a little bit of a tough time adjusting the first few days but is doing so well now. Her and Oliver were not too happy with each at first but now they are partners in crime. They play wonderfully together and have even started to sleep next to each other. Oliver is teaching her how to dig holes in the back yard...annoying, but cute as heck watching them do it together. He might be bigger, stronger and faster but he's also figured out that her baby teeth are not to be taken lightly. We will send you pictures as she starts to get a little older so you can post them on your site. We wanted to thank you for the manner you two handle the whole process of getting your pups to new homes. We will certainly recommend you and we couldn't be happier! We will stay in touch and hopefully we can stop by next summer for a visit. Thanks again, Chris & Sarah |

Hi Barb, Just a quick note to tell you Woody is adjusting well. As expected it took him a couple of days to adjust to his new home, he slept a lot and wanted lots of cuddles. Last night he discovered his voice and is a lot more adventurous and curious about everything. We saw our vet on Wednesday and he called him perfect!
All the best,

He was very quiet last night and slept from 10:30-4. He ate very little last night, but has eaten and drank this morning. All bodily functions seem to be taking place in the right place! (phew!) I attached a few pictures, and will send more. Thank you! We all are truly in love with him. Have a wonderful day! Ross and Ellen

Hi Barb,
This is long over due, but better late than
never! Chelsey and I just wanted to send you some pictures of
Bennie's first year with us. He has been an absolutely amazing puppy.
He is the most fun, energetic, playful, and best snuggling dog ever.
Bennie was, and still is, a very fast learner! Potty training,
obedience, etc. have all come very easily to him, but he still has a
very vocal personality. We just want to thank you guys for giving us
the opportunity to enjoy having a little bundle of joy in our lives.
Hope all is well!
Chelsey and Scott

Barb,
Casey and I took some pictures this morning of Jasper and Macy.
Jasper is fitting in just perfectly. He ate late last night and again
early this morning. He’s very curious, loves to cuddle and a sound
sleeper. He’s not fond of the kennel and of course, the boys hate to
hear him whine, so they take him out and cuddle with him instead. We
have our work cut out for us with training the boys and dogs with the
kennel! We’ll keep you posted on things, take care!
with love, Kristal and family

Hi Barb and Don, We just wanted to check in and give you an update on Lulu. She is doing great! We can't go anywhere with her without everyone stopping to say how cute she is! She won first place at the halloween costume contest we took her to, and won a free training session, and has learned "sit" and "crate" (as long as there's a treat involved!) We signed her up for the beginner puppy classes, so we're hoping that will be a lot of fun for her to interact with the other dogs! She has 8 favorite toys so far and cannot resist getting them all out at the same time. The week after we brought her home, we bought a new coffee table and she has officially claimed it as her castle and if we are ever looking for a missing toy, we know right where to find it.
We were looking at your website the other
day and i think we agreed that we want to get LuLu a brother sometime
next year. We absolutely love the little shaded creams that you have
photos of online. If you are planning another litter next year, please
let us know as we would be so excited to bring home a little boy!
Ross, Chelsea & LuLu

November 6, 2012
Barb and Don,
I have attached a pic of Ellie (aka Santa Maria) taken a few days after
we got home. She is doing great. Initially she liked to nip but we had
a talk and she is much better. House training is going well. She goes
through the doggie door and goes down her steps unassisted. She is also
beginning to sleep all night without going out. All of her doggie
cousins play well with her and she is not at all intimidated by any
strange dog, cat or person. The fenced yard and leaves are great
entertainment for her. Sometimes she returns the ball (I think by
accident) but comes pretty well for her age. She is quite the chewer and
eats anything she can find in the yard. Fortunately, it hasn't caused
any tummy upsets when I didn't catch her in time. She is growing like a
weed and changed to Blue without a problem. She's not too fond of a
bath though.
Just wanted to give you an update.
Sharon

Lucy (aka Pinta) in her new home.
November 6, 2012 Barb, I thought I would check in and give you a quick update on Lucy. She is doing awesome!! She is such a joy to have around. She felt completely at home the first night we brought her home. I can't believe how well she did. She ate, drank, and played with everything like she's been here forever. She has met a lot of people and does great! She is a very social puppy and loves to meet new people. Her and Molly wrestle and play every time I bring her to my parents.They are so funny to watch!! Maggie wants no part of Lucy. She growls and shows her teeth when Lucy comes around. We thought she would have warmed up by now, but she still wants nothing to do with her. We think she is very jealous of Lucy. Is this normal or is there something we can do to make her realize Lucy is not a threat? I hope all is well with you guys! -Chelsea Ps I will send you a picture of our new family when I get a chance.
December 13, 2012
Hello again!
Lucy is doing great! She is all finished with her puppy shots. I am
taking her to get spaded in January. I hope
everything is going good with you guys! Talk to you soon.
PS I have uploaded a couple pictures for you :)

Bella (aka Nina) in her new home.
September 30, 2012 Dear Don & Barb, I think these people I adopted are going to work out fine. I went to bed last night at 11pm and for some reason the lady started yelping at 5am so I had to take the man for a walk and to potty. When that was over we came in for coffee and a donut but I wasn't hungry yet so I didn't eat, you know us girls have to watch our figures. I played on the couch and the floor and on the couch again and then I had breakfast. I will have to train them to make breakfast like you and Don did. I had to take that big guy out again and I had my 2nd poopoo at my new place when he wasn't looking, he should really be more attentive to my needs. Any way, my pen inside is exactly like the one at your place but it is a little quieter here. I'll have to see what I can do about that! Well this typing is tough on my little paws so by for now. My picture below is after I wore myself out playing with these two I live with now, man they are high maintenance. Bella,

April 24,
2013 Dear Barb and Don:
Just wanted to tell you both "Thank You!"
Aurora which we now call "Sassy" is beautiful and enjoying
life. She is a very intelligent puppy and so good. We have her house
broke and now she is learning to sit.
When we took her to our vet - he fell in
love with her. He gave her a clean bill of health! He also told me that
she was the prettiest dachshund
he'd ever seen.
So I am sending pictures
to you from the first day we brought her home! She has been really great
with the grand kids and as you can see by one of the pictures they wore
each other out! For She is quite the player
and her nickname "SASSY" fits her to a tee!
Hope you enjoy the
pictures and we will stay in touch. For I can tell you already that we
are planning on getting a 2nd dachshund in the
near future.
Take care,
Stacy and Tom
Brittni and Jackson ("Thank you, too!")

Pictures of Luc (aka Denver) in his new home April, 2013
April 14, 2013 Hi guys!,
Just wanted to say Hi and see how everyone's doing. Luc had his last
vaccination yesterday. He weighed in at 10.38 lbs!! I think he'll be
bigger than Jasper. I love to take him to the vet, everyone, raves about
him. (the vets, techs, and other pet owners) Apparently, no one around
here knew dachshunds come in English Cream. They always talk about how
beautiful he is. He was neutered last week. I really appreciated when
the other three were done at the same time. They all were ,too, tired to
bother the other one. This time, we had to keep Luc away from everyone
else because they all wanted to play with him when he got home, and of
course, he was wiped out! he truly is a sweet boy. He plays well with
everyone and is very laid back. However, he too, likes to bark at other
dogs. He will actually try to chase after them. It almost becomes a
competition with him and Jasper. thanks goodness they can't get far on a
leash! my neighbors have a large bulldog and she just looks at Jasper
and Luc like they're nothing to fear and doesn't move when they approach
here. Things are getting busy around here. Baseball is back in swing,
Casey graduates from eighth grade next month, Ethan turns ten next
month, and then it'll be time to plan a baby shower and finalize
preparations for our newest family member. Sorry I got long winded
again, Hope everyone's well. Talk to you soon, Kristal
