Hi Jake and Josh, We hope this finds you both well and enjoying the holiday season. The puppy we picked up from you about a month ago, whom we’ve named “Tako” (means octopus in Japanese), is doing so well – we wanted to share an update with you! He’s 12 weeks now and weighs 5lbs! He just had his 12 week check up and is a healthy, growing pup! He’s great with everyone he meets, and obviously everyone loves him. He’s added so much fun & joy (and mild exhaustion) into our lives, and we’re so happy to have him. He’s so smart, and I especially love how snuggly he is. His spots are still there and actually becoming more defined as he ages! Thank you again for this little guy, we love him! We hope you have a lovely holiday. Warm regards Noelle, Chris & Tako

Jake and Josh We made it home with our two puppies. We named the short haired fellow Franklin because my son swears he resembles FDR. (Personally I don’t see it and I wanted to call him Winston.) The long haired fellow is named Oliver, after our blond dachshund, Olivia, who passed away last year. Oliver is a lot like Olivia and is very smart. Oliver has clearly established himself as the alpha male, but Franklin is the most curious. Franklin gets into everything. Franklin is whining weiner. When he wants something (like getting out of the crib), he whines. The two dogs are great friends. I let them chase each other back and forth in the kitchen for 45 minutes. Boy they sure rough house with each other. They slept well for several hours after that. Oliver is the better eater. He is a porker. He devours his food. Franklin is much pickier. We feed them at opposite ends of the room so Oliver does not steal Franklin’s food. Franklin loves shoelaces. He grabs them and runs. He likes to untie shoes. He also figured out how to open up the zipper in the doggie playpen and get out. Franklin had his first vet appointment and is now microchipped. We cannot get Oliver to the vet until June 26th. We are so fortunate to have two wonderful dogs who keep us young. So happy that we were able to get Oliver to keep Franklin company.

Just thinking of you. Hope you are all ok. This is Elsa. 3.

Jake: I hope you don’t get tired of me sending pictures of Lucy and Lizzy. Here they are on Saturday resting in the recliner. They are really good pals. We took Lizzy in to get spade and Lucy paced and cried until Lizzy got back home. They play and run in the back yard and come in and collapse on the couch. If you know anyone looking to buy a dog from you, and you need a recommendation, please give them my number. Have a great Sunday sir.

Hi Jake and Josh! I hope your family had a wonderful holiday season! I wanted to send some updated photos of Genie, who is now a little over 5 months. She’s just gorgeous, and the apple of our eye. We’re already thinking about a little brother or sister for her in a few years time, should we add ourselves to the wait-list now? Haha!

Hello Josh, we are in love.

My name is Tiffanie, I picked up my baby boy Mystro, nicknamed mouse back in 2003 with my sister Tonia. Myself my sister and now fiancé Michael love our boy so much! His personality is perfect for us, he’s very mischievous!! Like big time lol! But perfect. I’m always asked where I got him and I’ll always refer them to you! He is the neighborhood mascot and knows it! Thank you so much for my best friend Mystro. Love Michael and Tiffanie

Hi Jake! Just wanted to let you know that Waylon absolutely loves the new little guy! We’ve been keeping a close eye on them, given the size difference, but they spend most of their waking hours playing or snuggling together. Will keep you posted on their adventures.

Hey there! We just wanted to email, firstly to let you know that in the next few months or so, we will be interested in a brother for Milo. :) Milo is doing so great, he’s currently healing from his neutering. He did have Cryptorchidism (failure of one testicular to descend into the scrotum), the dr was able to just guide it down once they opened him up, so nothing additional was needed. Milo is officially part human; as he is with me or someone else in the family, 24hrs a day?? and we love it. He’s rambunctious and loving and spoiled. His favorite snack is yogurt with berries and his favorite activity is jumping in the bathtub when I’m washing my hands or brushing my teeth. He’s one of the best things to happen to our family. We can’t wait to get our next puppy from you guys. Here are some updated pictures of our Milo. He also has an Instagram @Milo.Mirabal

Winnie had a good first night. She slept through the night, and has been eating and pooping well!! Everyone loved her at the senior homee with my mom.
