Day/ night one went pretty good. Leon has a good appetite and seems happy. He wants to be right next to me at all times or he cries loudly. That is to be expected though as he’s scared. My older dog Elliot is a bit put out. He’s not aggressive just distant and seems a little sad. Leon is eager for him to return his love. The cat is acting like I brought home a creature from outter space but she will come around. We just adore him so much and hope the other animal family members come around soon. Thank you so much for such a happy and healthy little guy.

Hello! First vet appointment and second shots today- Smokey is a delight and fitting right in the family! He is either getting up once or not at all at night for potty, and is such a good boy about sleeping in the crate at night. Will keep you posted as he grows- we all love him!

Hi Jake, Forgot to send you Sophie’s BDay pic. She celebrated #1 on June 22. She is a perfect dog !!!

Hi Jake and Josh Elsa just loved her first snow day. She played and played. Brought her in for a warm rinse to get the snow off. Clover didn’t like it. She ran out then froze in one spot whining till we carried her back in. Food wouldn’t even get her to move to come to us. We had house shoes on. Had to go out bare footed to pick her up. Good thing there is dry ground under the eaves for her to go outside. She is the first dachshund we have had that didn’t love snow. Bet you had a lot of snow.

Our hearts and home are full with these two in it. Opal Diana is very affectionate, patient and faithful. Matilda Anne is devoted, fierce and kindhearted. They are a perfect match. Hope you are all well.

Hi Jake – I, my family and my dog (Olive) can’t thank you enough for choosing us as Callie’s new family…she is the PERFECT fit for us and we couldn’t possibly be more happy with her!!! She is so smart, funny, playful and loving and she is such a good and sweet little girl! Olive and her are best friends and have so much fun together playing, running, chasing squirrels and balls, and guarding our house…I could just watch them for hours together. I hope you don’t mind but we changed her name to Pickles as it is just too cute to have Pickles and an Olive…she responded to the name almost immediately. So far I’ve gotten her a wellness plan through Banfield Pet Hospital and will get her pet insurance, Healthy Paws, once she is spayed as the premium will be much less at that time. She has had her teeth cleaned, which went very well, and will be spayed on March 27. The staff at Banfield think she is such a sweetheart, which she is. Below is a picture of her taking a nap with me…she is my little love bug. Thank you again for trusting us to provide Callie aka Pickle with a good, safe and loving home! I think you would be very happy to see how well she has adjusted and how quickly she became a part of our family…we do adore and love her.

Hi Jake I thought you might like an update on Penny now that she is 1 yr old. She’s adorable and of course everyone loves her! She seems to have topped out at 12.5 lbs. she loves her best buddy a gray 13.5 lbs indoor 8 yr old cat. She gets compliments everywhere we go but enjoys best our time at the stables where she gets to bark at the barn cats and consider playing with the big dogs. I’m recovered from my fractured pelvis and have several walks a day. Working on recall but is only ever off leash in our fenced back yard because she wants to chase anything that moves. She goes to small dog daycare a few times a month and comes home exhausted. She sleeps all night. Thank you for our little buddy! Priscilla

Hi Jake, Josh, and other Zanocco family members: Lots of rain in California these days. See the attached picture of Sadie in her raincoat! Happy 2023!

Hi Jake, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything. This first week with Winnie has been incredible, and she’s been such a dream, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She’s adjusting unbelievably well. She’s confident, loving, and honestly one of the smartest dogs we’ve ever seen. On her very first night home, she walked right into her crate and tucked herself in when she was ready for bed like she already knew it was home. It completely blew us away. And by day 2, she had already figured out how to let us know when she needs to go outside to use the bathroom. Now she runs to the door or gives us a look, and when she’s hungry, she runs straight to her bowl. There’s no guessing with her. She just knows how to communicate exactly what she wants. It’s obvious she came from a thoughtful, loving, and structured environment. You gave her such an incredible foundation, and we just wanted to say how much we appreciate it. She’s doing so well and is already so loved. Warm regards, Joseph G

Hi Jake, We sure do love Love LOVE this dog! Marty is such a joy. Thank you! I’d love to get in touch in a year or two about a sibling dog but for now he seems happy to be the “only child.” Ps. Here he is at the farmers market in Portland. Flew on the plane just fine.
