Hi Jake – I want to let you know that Pickles was spayed on March 27th and she is doing great! I have a couple of gripes about Pickles…you didn’t warn me that she is a thief and hoarder…lol! We find socks, shoes, and numerous (I mean numerous) dog toys in her bed that she collects throughout the day. She’s a funny little girl, she will sneak what she can into her bed and each evening I go see what she’s collected for that day. She’s a very good girl though and never chews up any of her treasures…she just guards them from other potential thieves. Also, little Miss Pickles is an avid television watcher!!! However…she is very, very selective in her viewing!!! She does not like shows with children, babies, animals of any kind (read or cartoon), violence or active motion. When viewing any of the above she rushes the TV barking loudly and jumping at the screen…there is no stopping her! Therefore, my TV watching is now limited to shows about cooking and home decorating…which thankfully I enjoy! Pickles is the sweetest and most loving dog we have ever had as part of our family!!! I must get at least 100 licks a day and she gets at least 100 kisses a day from me and a lot of I love yous!!! Thank you again Jake for choosing us to be Pickles forever home!

Jake: It’s been a while since I sent you pictures of our Lizzy and Lucy. As you can see they live the “Life of Riley!” We are grateful you were kind enough to let us have them and include them as family members. If you need a reference at any time, let me talk to them and I’ll sell another dog for you.

I have been wanting to correspond with you for quite sometime to let you know how much we love our sweet little girl we got from you this passed December. I was definitely worried about getting a puppy so soon after we lost our “Yoda” and Phoebe being 14 years old. But as you may remember as soon as I came down to meet you and the puppies that sweet little girl had my heart. She is doing so good, we are relieved that the tough Truckee winter is behind us and we can enjoy long walks at last without having to put a coat on. We just returned from the coast, Monterey Bay Area, enjoying the beach for a few days, it was great for all of us. Hope all is well for you and your family, including all your furry family members.

Hi Jake, Wishing you and Josh a Happy New Year. We absolutely adore our sweet Sophia. She’s 6mos old and a dream dog who has fit into our family so perfectly. We wanted to thank you again for this wonderful dog.  Sincerely, Larissa

This is Mickey. Such a sweet boy! Wanted you to see how he has grown! He is doing good!!

Hello Jake – Steve and I are loving Wexie. She was named after one of my sister’s favorite cats, Wexler, and Steve created a website, Wexie.com, which my sister never used. So our Wexie is well prepared for future internet success. She is smart and has been wonderful! About 10 days after we got her home and she had had another set of immunizations, the vet said to take her out in our backyard only for potty training. After a couple of days, she has been doing really well. She is sweet and a beautiful. Thank you! We really appreciate that you raise such beautiful and wonderful dogs, and your willingness to answer all of my questions. Thank you so much!

Hi Jake, Lucy(Elizabeth) is doing great. She goes with me to the park, to the food bank where I volunteer. My coworkers like to visit with her We love Lucy.

Hi Jake, I wanted to send you an updated picture of our sweet Tucker. This is him on the right in our new 5th wheel (he really loves camping). He just turned 1 on Sunday and is the sweetest dog we have ever had. We just couldn’t love him enough. I hope you are doing well…we recommend you to people all the time who ask where we got him

Hi Jake, I am writing to let you know that I could not be happier with the little guy that I received from you last December – Louie. I don’t believe it’s possible for any living thing to have more personality and zest for life. “He’s sheer joy” were my vet’s words. He’s alert, wonderfully active, curious, super smart – and also sweet, calm, responsive, and very friendly both with people and other dogs. I’m happier with him than I could have imagined. I’m very happy that I was referred to you; happy that I waited for him; and happy that I didn’t let the distance between our homes keep me from choosing him. I also want to acknowledge that it was such a pleasure to work with your son Josh as we were sorting out the transfer details. He was so kind, responsive, professional, and in position to meet me at the airport well in advance of my flight. Louie was clean, healthy, shiny, and calm right from the start. An airline security person, 2 flight attendants, and the guy seated next to me on the plane all asked if they could take his photo. ( : He spreads joy and exuberance everywhere he goes. So anyway, thank you. Thank you very very much. Blessings on you and your family.

Hi Josh and Jake- this is Lindsay and Dillon who adopted from you last June. We are thinking about getting another dog soon, as Mochi wants a friend. She is six months now and sooo cute. Are you expecting any litters that would be ready to be taken home around the week of December 10th? I have two months off of work starting at that time and thought it would be a good time to add to our family. Here’s Mochi now! She loves the beach
