It’s Dan D. from Reno reaching out to let you know Lucy is doing well and turning into a great little girl, and we love her more every day. She has only barked a couple times, and that was when our lawn guy was in “her” yard. She sleeps on the bed with us and has never had accident. In the picture she is sitting on a patio chair in her new walking collar. She loves to go for walks with her brother Sam. Hope you don’t mind an occasional update. We are grateful we found you and Lucy.

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 Jake and Josh! Hope all is well for you guys! Mia is in good health and quite frankly, she is loving her new home. She has a big extended family and everybody loves her. I’m sending a couple of photos so you guy’s can see how much she has grown. Take care.

This is Franklin. I sent you an article about our dogs that was published last week. I can send you that picture as well. Both dogs are fabulous pets. They are going through obedience training and there are two other dachshunds in class, but they are nowhere as beautiful as ours. The other dog is Oliver. He is the watchdog and is a real squirrel chaser. He almost caught one over the weekend. Now he sits by the french door in our kitchen all day and barks at the squirrels who are ubiquitous in our back yard. Franklin is still the lap hooger, but he is getting big and does not fit as well on laps anymore. Plus Oliver wants some of the lap action as well. Franklin is an inquisitive daredevil. Franklin does not like cold weather because his coat is so thin.

Hey Jake. The pups are doing fantastic!

She fits right in!

Hello Jake and Josh, I just wanted to let you know how well Archie is doing! My husband and I couldn’t possibly love him more! He’s the sweetest and sometimes a little naughty, but he is the light of our world! I hope all is well with you both.

Hello, our doxie Daisy is almost a year old and she’s been a great addition to our family!

Hi Jake and Josh, We had Clancy at the vet Monday for his 11-week shots and he’s now a strapping 6 pounds. He’s quadrupled his weight in 3 weeks. He continues to thrive, loving and being loved more each day. He owns the backyard {and the couch) now! Thanks again for the great puppy!

Our puppies (no longer puppies) are celebrating their second birthday today. They are cousins. Franklin is the short haired guy wearing the orange sweater. He is adventuresome and playful. He is always cold which is why he always wears a sweater. He weighs 14 pounds and is a terrific watchdog. When we were picking out puppies we were told that he loves to sit on laps. Boy he sure does. He is very smart. Teresa has trained him to press buttons that say what he wants and he does a good job of communicating with us. Oliver is the long haired boy. He knows he is a pretty boy and loves to make sure everyone adores his beauty. He likes to sit in the middle of the room on a hardwood floor in a sphinx position. He weighs 18.5 pounds and we have to watch him because he eats like a horse. If Franklin is always cold, Oliver is always hot. He has a thick coat and a layer of body fat that keeps him warm. In summer we have to watch out because he is prone to heat stroke. He is not as adventurous as Franklin, but he loves to be petted. Oliver loves to spend time in our back yard looking for squirrels. When he sees one he defends our house from them. The squirrels love to get his attention and they egg him on. These two boys have brought so much joy into our lives. I wanted to share these thoughts with you.
