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.

Elsa loves her snoopy blanket. It’s not as soft as she is though.

Good morning Jake, this is Alexander and Anastasia the owners of Theodora! We have some pictures we love to send you she is now a year old and doing fabulous! Theodore is absolutely beautiful and an amazing companion! Thank you

It’s Sharon (Jessica’s mom) Just wanted to say happy new year and let you know how many blessings your puppies have brought our family this year. Óscar is a delight and such a character, he is a great match for rumbling and tumbling with our cattle dog. We just had Jessica and “Baby” for a visit and they are just the cutest things ever. Baby just follows Jessica around and they both just love each other so much. PS Óscar just got neutered and all went well, although it was sure difficult to keep him “quiet” during recovery. He is such a gorgeous dog, although hard to get him to hold still long enough for a picture

Just wanted to reach out and say this is Diesel, one of your puppies. He just turned 17 on August 18th and I’m hoping he makes it to his golden birthday next year. Diesel is an amazing dog he has never had any serious health problems, is so sweet, and even to this day still wants to romp around and play every morning. I just lost my 15 YO grey dapple Remy recently and although he was my baby and no other dog could ever replace him, I am looking forward to possibly getting a new sweet baby from you guys in the next few years. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to cherish Diesel. He is definitely a spoiled boy.

Hi Hard to believe she’s almost one. She’s doing well and is loved.

Hi Jake and Josh Clover and Elsa are inseparable. They love playing. It’s amazing the way they pull each other’s ears and lips and bite noses. You think it would hurt. Elsa is doing so well after her spay, the stitches are out and and loves going on her walks. She is not afraid of cars anymore but does not like dogs barking from their back yards at her when we go by. She loves being brushed. Clover wants to get in on the action to be brushed too even though she does not have much hair. They rule the house.

Elsa went on her first real off the grid camping trip this week to Mt Lassen. She was the hit of the camp site loop.

Waffles! First time in the snow!

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.
