Happy New Year! Just wanted to share a photo of Roxie and our other dachshund, Daisy. They are fast friends now. The third dog is our schnauzer, Gracie, who is 12 and pretty much ignores them both. She has been a wonderful addition to our family! Sandy and Stan

O.M.G. Oliver. Are you sure you bred a dog, and not a new and unique lifeform? This guy is just too much. We are at the coast again. He is a star wherever we go. People stop us. They cross the street to ask about him. A lady wanted to take a picture with him. And Oliver just takes everything in stride. He is a rock solid rock star. I am looking for a surfer shirt for him to complete the look. He is doing well with housebreaking and leash work. He LOVES going in the RV. He is home as long as he is with Terry and me. Please, kiss Jasmine for me. I love her and Endeavor for producing this sweet little guy. If you have a picture of Jasmine and her pups, I would really like a copy for the wall. When we get the right beach picture, I will send one. Again, Thank you for the best Christmas present I have received in my entire life. My Oliver. Cheers

Jake, It’s very hard to believe that it’s been two years since Murray was born, and i picked him up in Truckee. We celebrated his second birthday today here in Miami. I wanted to let you know he is doing fantastic and is still as always very much loved and cared for. He traveled with me internationally in 2021 which was a great experience for us both. I had started training work with him very early on to prepare him for flying, and he is basically a frequent flyer now. I went back home to Ireland for 2 months in 2021 so he traveled with me and stayed with all my friends and family there. Needless to say he was a big hit. He has also flown with me domestically a good few times. I have included a picture of him on our Air France flight, as well as us on a remote beach in the west of Ireland called Dogs Bay. (You can Google it to find it) Also you can see a picture of him in Central Park. I wanted to let you know how he was doing on his second birthday. Hope all is well on the ranch in California.

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 and Josh Bet you have more snow now. Hope you are all warm. This is Elsa on her back doing her stare at you come play with me tease. She is such a love. Have a happy new year.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE LOVE WILL GROW

Hey there! We just wanted to email, firstly to let you know that in the next few months or so, we will be interested in a brother for Milo. :) Milo is doing so great, he’s currently healing from his neutering. He did have Cryptorchidism (failure of one testicular to descend into the scrotum), the dr was able to just guide it down once they opened him up, so nothing additional was needed. Milo is officially part human; as he is with me or someone else in the family, 24hrs a day?? and we love it. He’s rambunctious and loving and spoiled. His favorite snack is yogurt with berries and his favorite activity is jumping in the bathtub when I’m washing my hands or brushing my teeth. He’s one of the best things to happen to our family. We can’t wait to get our next puppy from you guys. Here are some updated pictures of our Milo. He also has an Instagram @Milo.Mirabal

Hi Jake and Josh! I wanted to give you an update after several days with the pup! I have been so impressed with how relaxed and sweet she is. I’ve never seen a puppy of any kind that is so laid back and friendly up front! We have gone out on several walks (her in a bag) and she has been doing great getting used to the sights and sounds of SF. She has met some of my friends as well and is very happy to meet new people and be held by them. As you said, the first few days she wasn’t into eating her kibble without the appetite stimulant. I would say that by Friday she started showing interest in treats (her kibble) as a positive reinforcement. She was very mellow that first day but by halfway through Wed her spunk and active personality has come through! She loves to play and run around. I have a couple of chewy toys for her but she also likes an old t-shirt and socks. She sleeps just as hard as she plays too. I got an X-pen for her, so we play there a lot. When I have to leave the apartment for a minute to do something, she has been pretty good in the X-pen. Sometimes she cries a bit and others it’s like I never left. She definitely likes to see me/be near me pretty much at all times, unless she is sniffing around! She has been an excellent night-time sleeper too! She has been going to bed around 9/10 pm or so and wakes up between 5-6:30 am, sometimes sleeps through the night, and other times she will wake me up once in the middle of the night. She figured out how to use the bathroom on the potty pads very quickly and had no problem with that which was also a pleasant surprise to me! I will say she has been quite bitey on skin and fingers, which is of course normal for puppies, but do you have any best practices for that? As for her coloring- I would say she has maybe gotten a tad lighter on the top of her head. I’ll have to look at some photos from last week. She has been shedding a bit! Thank you so much!

Hi Jake and Josh – wanted to say hi and send some pics of Zoey! She is just the best! She loves to play and give kisses, she loves treats and showing her belly when she’s excited :). She and her brother Dario became very fast best friends and they love to play. She has seen the vet twice and is well taken care of :). Hope you both and all the Dachshunds are doing well! Happy holidays,

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
