Hey Jake, My wife & I picked up a female dachshund puppy from you on June 5th. I just wanted to send you an e-mail to give you guys a brief update and thank you for letting us adopt her. We named her Lemon. On the car ride home she slept the entire way without a fuss and she is absolutely sweet to everyone she’s met and adores our older dog. Our older dog is taking some time to warm up but she is getting better by the day and they’ve played together every night since we brought her home. She just had her second round of shots and was very good about it. Overall Lemon is everything we wanted and the perfect addition to our family, we are so grateful you held her for us. Thanks again,

Hi there Just wanted to send you both a couple photos now that it’s been just over a year since I picked up Becky on August 2. Here’s a picture from her birthday (she didn’t care for the hat) and another from her gotcha day (nap time). She’s a very good dog, and she loves cuddles and naps. Very mature for her age! Hope you’re both doing well.

Thought I’d send you a couple pictures. Thank you again! Best decision I’ve made. Winston is doing great!

I was heading to work and could not find Lucy. Apparently she wanted dry sleep a little longer. She is a joy to have in the family. Hopefully all is well with you, your family and the dogs.

Good evening Jake and Josh! Last November I drove out to Sacramento to pick up a sweet 4 month old dapple boy. You had thought about keeping him for breeding, but I was SUPER fortunate you got some other dogs and so released him. He has been a TRUE GIFT. He is really intelligent and can rings bells and do all sorts of commands, he is the most cuddly, loyal little man, always in our laps or at our feet, he is healthy and GORGEOUS. He is great off leash at dog beaches and eats out at patio restaurants like a little gentleman. He hikes miles and is great with other dogs. He is a perfect angel! He turned 1 years old in August and we celebrated him. My husband and I felt we should also reach out and give you an update and express our heartfelt gratitude. Thank-you for enriching our lives! Take care.

He picked out his blanket.

Josh, just wanted to let you and your family know how “Zoey ” is doing! We started out with the name Daphne, but learned real quick it didn’t fit! Duke is our babysitter and the two are extremely bonded. Had to buy new bed to fit both, didn’t like the two cute ones I bought, they didn’t fit together! She was to be my dog, but Jim can’t resist getting up with her, so Jim has two on his lap! Here personality is strong, loves toys, loves digging, very kind as the vet would say! She is very long and starting to change color. She has been a true blessing and such a joy. Reminds us of our lacy we lost three years ago. Thank u for a wonderful sweetheart!

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.

Just wanted to share with you our puppy “Bonnie” is growing beautifully. She is super playful and a great cuddler. We are so happy to have her in our lives.

A Good Wednesday Morning, Jake! I thought you’d like to see little Garby…who is now a BIG boy! His tail all of a sudden grew 20 feet…or so to catch up with his long body. Such a fun little guy, loves to play, and an excellent watch dog! So good! He, in his puppy-ness. LOVES drip lines and sticks, and leaves, etc. So thankful and glad to have him. And, he is enough different from my little Dugan, that he has gained a very special spot with me, with German Shepherd Bo,.(they get along so very well), and with the ranch and its visitors. A super fun little man! By the way, he will be not so ‘manly’ in about 2-3 weeks… :>) Again, thank you so very very much and thank you for your kindness! Much joy. Garby’s mom, Ethel
