Hi Jake just wanted to show you some pictures of Max he’s doing really well and we just love him to death he’ll be 17 months old in about 9 days. We came up to Indian valley for 2 weeks and we were going to bring him by so you could see him but we got evacuated in 3 days so that didn’t happen maybe next year.

This is Kaya now. 1 year old

Hi Josh. Rick and I wanted to share a 1st birthday photo of our beautiful Xena Warrior Princess. We love her so much.

Hi Jake & Josh, I meant to send this update about Stevie Nicks when she turned one, and well, life got in the way. I guess that’s what happens when a puppy takes over your life. So here’s a 15 month update instead. I just wanted to let you know how much I love my sweet/sassy little girl. She has such a great personality and mostly listens to commands (when she wants to). Of course she is spoiled rotten, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. I like to tell people that it’s Stevie’s world, we are just living in it. Everyone who sees her instantly falls in love. I keep contemplating adding another to family, I’ll let you know if I finally want to make the plunge.

Jake & Josh ! Words can’t express how thankful we are ! This is our little Chopper ! What a delightful puppy, he self soothes in his crate through the night with no crying & as well he was super easy to potty train ! ( maybe with 2 accidents haha ) thank you for answering all the questions we had during the process you made us feel super confident & comfortable! I know we just picked up Chopper but we definitely want another lil sausage haha ! Maybe later on! Thank you again fellas ! Yall are amazing !

Jake: The still shot was taken as she was sacked out on the couch. We got her to drink a little water and a small amount of food. I think tomorrow will be better once she gets her surroundings figured out. Thanks again for getting us this precious little girl.

Hi Jake Just wanted to send some cute pictures of Louie. Thank you so much for this gift my life. He’s absolutely the best! We love him so much. Thank you

Hi Jake, Luis is doing great! He’s incredibly smart and catching on so quickly. He’s well on his way to being house trained (no accident in a week and he’s potting on a cue word!), he already knows hit Sit, Down and Come commands. He’s a bit nippy with the kids. Gets very excited with them almost immediately and starts biting for fun. We need to work on that:) He’s hilarious while chasing his own tail (which I remember my family doxie used to do as well, and it’s the funniest thing ever). He’s getting his booster shot this Friday, so we can start venturing out a bit more. I’m attaching a photo where he jus learned that he can actually lay down and sleep outside of the crate too on his favorite toy:) Hope you are well!

Oliver is one in a million, Jake. He is learning so many words, now. Today, he finally understood “wait” at the top of stairs for me to get there. He is so funny, having a definite sense of humor. He laughs at me quite often, and makes me laugh at myself. He now likes to retrieve two balls, carrying one in his mouth, while kicking the second with his paw. Rather remarkable. I have been scrap booking, looking at my history with dogs, including the 4 Guide Dog puppies I raised in 4-H. We had pugs and mastiffs on the ranch. Oliver is above and beyond any dog I have ever known. I have been thinking about a sister for him. But, I could not do justice to two. Just a year ago, I slept for the first week holding him in my chair all night. I was so worried Terry would never, ever bond with a dog. How silly. The hours of training are paying off. And, Terry loves Oliver as much as I do. I just bought Ollie a martingale training collar. He is responding well. It seems he is more responsive than with a regular training collar. I like the design. Still a choke collar, but a little different. Carry on with your amazing pups. I am so glad I found you and Oliver. You never know when we might decided we need another. Merry Christmas,

We sure love our puppies.
