Hello One year ago today this sweet girl came into our lives. She’s a very smart, loving dachshund. Wishing you well.

Hi Clover is over 9 pounds now. Doing well in Dog School. She may end up with first prize. She practices and goes for walks every day. 8 months old now. We love her. Cant wait to hear there is a “sister“ on the way for her.

Milo’s First Time At The Beach

It’s Dan and Kay D. again from Reno. Just wanted to let you know that our little Lucy is doing well these days. Her brother Sam is a great teacher and they play hard all day long. As you can see, they sleep well after a hard day of playing. They sleep on our bed every night and Lucy gas adapted much quicker than we’d expected. Thank you again for what you did for us.

Hi Jake and Josh! Lulu is thriving and continues to be a source of love, affection and energetic entertainment! She seems to be potty trained now on the pee pads and she likes to go out through the dog door and do her thing in the back yard in the grass. Our 16yo, Leo, is socializing her, with some annoyance, but we have caught them resting and sleeping together also.

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.

Jake: It has been a while since I sent you pictures of Lizzy and Lucy. They are inseparable and the best of pals. This picture was taken this afternoon after a day in the back yard running and playing. They bring lots of joy and lots of laughter to our daily lives. Thanks again for helping us with our dog purchases. Hopefully all is well with you and your family and your harem of animals.

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 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, Happy New Year! This is Wendy M. Gus is our little Black and Tan guy born in 2018 from Pistol and Laney. Gus is doing great other than not understanding why he’s not getting many pets from admirers during the pandemic. Poor thing! Wendy
