Just an update, Basil had a great first day with us. By 5 pm yesterday she was playing and running around. She’s eating and settling in well. Thank you from all of us.

Growing into a big girl, 7 months and meeting snow.

Hello Jake, It’s been a month since we got our Baxter so I thought I’d send you an update. He is 10 lbs, healthy, full of fun, loves people (big and little), rides great in the car and has learned to like his crate – but not his playpen since that’s where he goes when I’m busy around the house and he thinks I should let him help :)) As far as we can tell he’s fearless, and he’s also VERY determined (okay, stubborn) once he sets his mind on doing something! Our dog yard is big and there are oak sticks everywhere. I throw them for Baxter to chase while we’re out there and a couple weeks ago I noticed that he always came back with the stick I’d just thrown. Not one of the other 1000 or so sticks in the yard, not the stick we played with yesterday, but the exact stick I’d just tossed. A few days ago I started throwing the stick without making sure he saw me do it. Jake, he’s not even 4 months old and he hunts until he finds the right stick, is that a Dachshund thing? Anyway, we really love this little guy, thanks so much for holding him for me! Best regards, Lee J

Here are some photos of Pepper on his 9 week birthday!

Hi Jake & Josh Just letting you know that Dapper Dan and Opal made a very special little puppy! We named her Bette Davis, she loves her big sister Coco and she is such a HAM! Bette is the silliest, most lovable and strong-willed girl ever. We could tell from the minute we brought her home that she was raised with so much affection and attention. Thank you again and we really hope to see you again one day for our next puppy. Please give Opal and Dapper Dan hugs from us!!

Hi Penny is doing great. She had some big changes this fall – she and I moved to CO to be closer to my grandkids. The eldest (2) adores her. We were worried about snow but Penny could care less. I cleared her a spot but she had to walk the yard. Quite the girl. She’s brought so much joy to our life. Best, Bruce and Penny

Hello, it’s been two weeks now and our puppy Xena has felt right at home. She was very shy the first two days but has since opened up and is a little rascal. Her personality is lively, sweet, and quiet. She’s a little bugger and we love her so much already. She has her own bed, a little harness we use so she may get used to it and not run around when she goes potty, and a playpen with her toys and bed big enough for us to sit in and play with her, in addition to her crate, which she will go to in the mornings and curl up in while everyone gets ready for work. It’s her safe den, and it’s cozy. I can’t wait to take her on walks once she gets all of her shots. We will not be getting the lepto vaccine, she is an indoor dog and it can be painful to pups. When she got her last set of shots she was sore and cried and it freaked us the hell out in addition to breaking our hearts. Below are some pictures of Xena, doxie princess, settling in.

Milo’s First Time At The Beach

Hi Jake and Josh, I just wanted to give you an update of how the puppy is doing! He is so sweet, and cuddly. He loves his toys, and he runs around my house doing zoomies with Ziggy. It took him and Ziggy a few weeks to get used to each other and for the puppy to come out of his shell, but his full personality is showing and he’s the cutest thing. He’s growing well and his color is beautiful. I had him on puppy food and he doesn’t like it. He likes Ziggy’s adult food better, so I am trying to figure out how to get him to eat puppy food. His name is Zeke by the way. I attached a current photo of him for you

When I saw your name, I thought it was you! Wow. I can’t tell you what an amazing disposition Ophelia (Ophie) has and how lucky I am. She’s the biggest hit everywhere she goes and makes everyone smile. She’s THE BEST!!!! She is such a beautiful and loving dog, and very well trained and socialized, and pretty much comes everywhere with me. She was always able to be off leash in safe places because she has fantastic recall, and was easy to train (I spent a lot of time on that- very important to me). Now that she’s going to be 15 Jan 1st she’s deaf and her sight is going a bit, but she’s still cooking and very busy and I still get stopped and told how beautiful/cute she is all the time. Her nickname is Bridget Bardot. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life 14, almost 15 years ago!!
