Tracy,

Two milestones, Rocky is 3 months and finally weighed in at 1 pound. Whoo hoo, Rocky! He's quite the little man, very social and playful, loves to roughhouse with Zoe and chase the cat. He also has figured out that if he straddles his bed, it feels real good. LOL

Our vet said he can get his shots now that he's 1#. Do you agree?

I was wondering how you faired all of the recent weather. Did you loose power? I worried about your puppies staying warm.

We only lost ours for 2 days, luckily stayed in the motor home with a generator. Kind of crowded, my daughter and 2 sick kids stayed too. TV 8 interviewed us for the news. That was fun.

Thanks!
Kay

Hi Traci!

 
Sorry to be so slow to get back. It's been crazy here too.
 
Sissy is doing super in her new home. She almost always goes on her puddle pad and great company for Grandpa during the day. They are worried about her being so aggressive. Yah, she's used to beating up on little Rocky!
 
Rocky is another story. Boy, he pees often and wherever he feels like it! He was stuck at 11 ounces for several weeks, then finally had a growth spurt last week, 14 ounces of rompin', stompin' Yorkie! He's eating well, very active and a real joy. Zoe actually likes him now, plays so cute. He is so worth the sleepless nights, tears and emergency vet bills.
 
We had to go to Drake a week ago for a Special Olympics event. We were afraid to leave him all day, so we took him. The athletes loved him, as you might imagine. We took him shopping in a doll carrier and then put the carrier in a big shopping bag to go out to eat. No one knew we had a dog with us.
 
Hope things are great on your end and looking forward to a warmer week.

Hi Tracy!

If there's any doubt that I've lost it, today's pictures will clinch it. Sissy is the princess and little Rocky is sitting at the table. He tipped the scales at 10 ounces this morning. Okay, it was after he ate. Sissy is now 1 1/2 pounds. We're having so much fun with our babies!

Hugs!
Kay

Tracy,

 
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
 
Well, we made it through another week, but not without our share of challenges.
 
After a couple days of being a fair mom, Zoe decided she'd had enough again. We had to start forcing her to nurse again and then she leaves their bed.
 
As of this morning, the female is up to 15 ounces, started at 5. Our poor little male is only up to 6 1/2 ounces from 3, but active and has such a beautiful shiny coat. We had to take him to the vet Saturday night because he started making lots of noise with his respirations. His lungs were clear, but upper respiratory infection and now on antibiotics. If we get the little stinker raised, it will be a miracle.
 
Taking first Christmas pictures with two week old puppies isn't an easy task, but we got a few. So is the male or female closer to what a two week old Yorkie should look like? We're wondering if he is a runt or if she has a mutant gene or something like that. LOL!
 
God bless!
Kay

 
Hi Tracy,

Just wanted to give you an update on Maali. I've been meaning to email for a while but have never gotten around to it. Maali was spayed about a month and a half ago and weighed in at 2.3 pounds. I think she is full grown now. She is doing really well, she has so much personality! She loves to run and jump in the snow, but it has been really cold here (-60) so she hasn't been outside for a couple of days for longer than 20 seconds so she is getting restless. I have attached some recent pictures of her. Hope all is well, talk to you soon,

Mandy & Travis Zwingli
 

Dear Tracy,

Hi Tracy, here are some pictures of Maali at the wedding. She is doing really well. I gave her her first haircut yesterday, she didn't like that but she really needed it! I'll send more pics once I get them.

Take care,

Mandy & Travis

 

Hi Tracy,

Maali is doing really well! We are getting married next Saturday and have decided that she should be in the wedding since she is a part of our family now. I have attached some pictures of her with her wedding dress on!

Dear Tracy,

I have been meaning to e-mail you for months as time has got away from me. It doesn't seem possible that we have had Mocha for six months. We are so grateful to you and all you have done for us, you are such a caring and fun loving person. I'm not sure how we were so fortunate to find you and be able to have two of your wonderful puppies. Teddy brought so much joy to our lives and we are thankful for every minute we had with him. The heartache has been tough and the tears flow often but he will always have a place in our hearts.

We all knew the night we picked Mocha out that he was the one. He was so little and precious he is the most loving little guy and that is just what we all needed. I don't know how you could breed such wonderful puppies as we feel so privileged to have had two of them in our lives. Mocha was neutered by a different Veterinary and everything went great. It was a tough day but we all made it through it just fine, we are so glad it's over. Mocha still enjoys his baby cereal as a treat every morning and evening. We just don't have the heart to take it away from him as he really loves it.

We were amazed to hear that you and Greg's cousin Mandi Goretska are friends. It doesn't surprise me as you are both wonderful women.

I am sending a picture of Teddy and we would love it if you could put him on your web page as In Memory of Teddy. I am also sending three pictures of Mocha as the girls really think he is photogenic and they love to photograph him. We would love to see his picture on your web page also if possible.

We hope all is well and we can't tell you enough how much joy and love Mocha has brought to our lives. We will send pictures now and then as he changes. Thanks for everything!!

Have a wonderful Christmas!!

Hi Tracy,

Just wanted to send you a quick update on the puppy we bought from you, May 31st - we met at the hot air balloon field.  The kids named him Harley, he's doing very well, seems to be very happy.  Still doesn't like car rides, he got neutered on Wednesday and was back to his playful self yesterday.  I did give him a little haircut around his face, everyone who sees him thinks he so cute.  He's finally eating his dog food also, he kept eating the cats food.  He's a good fit for our family!

Thank you

Rose Buecksler
 

Just wanted to share a picture of my guy. He is happy, healthy, and every inch a part of our family.  Thank you for raising such wonderful puppies.

Thanks,Estela
 

Hi Tracy,

Brandon and I are having a blast with Suzuki. So far he’s not wild about pottying outside, he prefers the carpet. He’s getting better each day though.

He takes a bath very well… I think he looks forward to the warm towel straight out of the dryer to dry off with. Suzuki has found his favorite place to sleep- on his BACK with his feet in the air between his “Dad” and I. Silly little boy.

The crunch berries are by far his favorite treat. He’s not interested in any of the expensive dog treats I got him for training. Offer him a crunch berry and he’d jump through a burnin’ ring of fire.

I meant to ask you- did you have any type of papers on him that I could register? Is that a normal occurrence? Just let me know. Thanks so much Tracy.

I’ve attached a photo of the twerp.

Hi Tracy!

Sorry it's taken me so long to get this email to you. Thank you so much for meeting me and bringing me my wonderful puppy!

I have named her Maya and she is so much fun and so smart!

Here's a picture of her that I took when I first got her. She weighs 7 pounds now and is growing every day.

Have a great day!

Andrea

 
Hey Tracy,

Kawi is doing really well. I have attached some pictures. She just completed her puppy training class but she's way ahead. She knows sit, paw, lay down, roll over, come and stay. She is full of energy and keeps us busy. We are still working on not barking and we've almost got it! She does really well with other dogs and loves chasing Pete's parent's older lab around the back yard. They are quite cute together. We just brought her camping last weekend and she learned to swim. Things are going really well.

We are glad we got her!

Thanks,

Kelley Ouellette

 
Dear Tracy,

Hello, how have you been doing? Owen is doing great! He's a year and half now and weighs exactly 4 pounds, but you'd think he weighs 150 with the way he acts. I've been growing his hair out and it just about touches the ground. He's still going to doggie daycare and thinks he owns the place. You're going to laugh at me, but he's going to a pet psychic. My family keeps telling me it's a waste of money, but I think it will be fun. Maybe Owen has something really important to tell me. HAHA. He's still the greatest little boy and I couldn't picture life without him.

My mom ended up purchasing a female yorkie from a breeder here in Omaha. Owen didn't take to it very well. He's used to being the top dog around here, now he has to share that title. He's still #1 in my book. I'm moving out soon, so he won't have to put up with her for much longer.

I hope everything is going well at the farm. You don't have to put any of this on the website if you don't want to. I just thought it had been a long time since you had heard from us. Take Care!

Rachel and Owen in Omaha

Tracy,
I just wanted to update you on Owen. He is the greatest dog. He has been nothing but joy. We adore him. His fur is getting longer and his face is amber in color. He weighs 3.2 and his body is getting long and tall. He is being neutered in May which has Rachel in a panic. She has called the vet twice with questions. He loves doggie daycare and has had no problems socializing with the other dogs. Potty training has been a dream. It is like he trained himself. Our nightly entertainment is watching him play. My friends think I am pathetic. He has even won my husband over. Our black lab gives in to him all of the time. They lay together and take naps. Owen just loves her, but is always watching out for her big paws. He still has big ears, but they go with his personality. He runs through the house like crazy, grabs a toy and is off again. Then he comes back and wants to be snuggled. Thank you, Tracy for giving us this gift. He is loved and has a great life. We have two daughters getting married this summer and when I am through paying for wedding stuff, I am going to be contacting you for a Owen of my own. I have already warned my husband and he has agreed. We are definitely Yorkie fans! Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care!

Cathy in Nebraska

Dear Tracy,

Owen is doing great! He went to the vet about two weeks ago, and the vet said I couldn't have picked a more perfect puppy! He was very healthy and his knees and heart looked good. He loves going to doggie daycare. He has many friends there. Potty training has been really easy, despite the snow and cold weather. He also has learned how to sit! He is such a great dog and is such a charmer. Everywhere he goes, everyone admires him. Thank you so much for giving me such an awesome dog! It was a hard decision to make for me, but I made the right choice! I sent some pictures of Owen. The first one is of him is where he sits when I'm on the computer. The second one of him is him laying around all his toys. (He's so spoiled.) And the third one is Owen after he had a bath at the groomer's. He didn't like that bow in his hair very much, but I loved it! Thanks again!

Sincerely
Rachel Harms and Owen
 
Hi Tracey:

I purchased a puppy from you before Christmas for my daughter. He is the best puppy in the world and is growing into a handsome dog. He is very well behaved and well loved.
 

Hi Tracey!

I just wanted to give you an update on how our little Corgi is doing. We named him Rosco and he has adapted and fit into our little family perfectly. He is nearly housetrained (occasional accident if we leave for a couple hours).

He has the most happiest and lovable personality. He gets along great with my daughter and my husband adores him. He is definitely spoiled. My mother bought him some designer "John Paul" doggy shampoo and leave in conditioner. She also bought him a Designer "Coach" collar and matching "Coach" leash for Christmas, with a diamond studded doggy bone charm for his collar. He also got a lot of toys and doggy treats.

He is as happy as we are to have him. Thanks again! I will always remember to refer to you those people looking for well cared for and well dispositioned pups.

I should have pictures soon. They are all on my cell phone at the moment.

Stephanie Martinez

 
OK, exactly as you said, he is now eating little bits of dry food. He goes and gets a couple pieces and brings it back to the living room and drops them and eats them one by one in front of me. His name is skipper, Skippy
 

Same routine with Murphy my last one. I got the bath thing down to a science. Murphy passed away 4 months short of 18 years old in my bed with me as I stroked him and said good bye not too long ago. End stage liver cancer.

This little guy is adorable, he does want to be near me, wont leave my side. I am very pleased. If you have a testimonial thing on the web site, I would be happy to write you one. He does not want to sleep unless he is in contact with me, very loving..

Thanks for everything. Thanks for answering my little questions, it has been a while since I tended the new born. The book says birthday 12/19/07, that make him over 16 weeks old. Is that a fact? I thought he was 9 weeks. he looks 9 weeks. I would like the correct date for the parties and such.

Tracy,

Attached is a recent picture of Kiwi. She is such a doll. She gets along with everyone; and has SUCH a personality. Harry loves her as much as I do. She recently added a new cousin to her family; my daughter had my first grandson on March 24th, 10 days after we got Kiwi. Kiwi was quite a trooper despite the baby crying. She takes everything in stride and is absolutely wonderful. Just wanted you to see the latest.

Thanks always,
Pam Dennis
 

Thanks more than you know - Tracy!!!

Oh, and what shots will she still need? I am too excited to think clearly.

Thanks,
Pam and Harry Dennis

 
Hi Tracy~

This is Sheila Null. I was just writing to give you an update on Gracie and Mitzie. I thought you may like to know how they have been doing.

Gracie is still a sweet little snuggle bug. You can tell that she was the baby amongst boys though. When her and Mitzie play, she rears back, completely standing on her hind legs and bears her teeth. She actually looks a little vicious if you didn't know any better J She is still a little pee-wee at only about 4 pounds and scared of any loud noises J She growls a good game when she needs to though.

Mitzie has gotten to be a big girl. Her legs have really stretched out and her body. She is weighing in at 11.1 pounds now. She is still as playful as the first day we brought her home. She loves attention and always wants to be right there with you. We joke that she is ADHD because she doesn't even stop moving when she is doing her "business". She continues to sniff and move in the squatting position while doing her business. Crazy girl J

They adapted to the cats really well and the one cat, Taz, adapted to them right away and the other cat, Tobey, was a little slower on the warm welcome. Now the cats are both used to the pups following them around with warm greetings and an occasional (ok, more than occasional) assistance with back bumper cleaning J We tried to tell Mitzie and Gracie that it wasn't polite to go around licking the cats so personally but they just don't listen J

Last fall we took them to Carroll's Pumpkin Patch. My friend has a puppy stroller so we put them in that and off we went for the day. They both had a good time.

Both of the girls have been "fixed" now. That went well with no complications.

Last night the girls spent their first night away from each other. Mitzie is spending a couple nights at the vets office for observation. She has had a not so good reaction following her heart worm pills the past 3 months. It was hard to tell if it was coincidental or if it was the meds so she is spending a couple of days with the vet in a controlled environment to see if she has any challenges. Gracie was a little lost without her big sister. Mitzie is going to get her first grooming while she is there too. I have been bathing them, clipping toe nails and trimming their faces some but that's it.

It is a regular zoo around our house now with 2 cats and 2 dogs, oh yea and a teenager J. Keeps things interesting though.

The girls have been to Missouri to see their grandma and grandpa. They also went with me to my friends B&B in Sycamore, IL to meet their cousin Molly. Had a great time. They have their very own scrapbook with all the stories of their first few months. This Summer they are going to My Olympus with us in Wisconsin

Well, I could probably rattle on all day about the girls but I will let you go. Attached are some pictures of them. We are enjoying them very much. It's hard to believe that they are almost 9 months old already!

Take care~

Sheila Null
 
Hi Tracy!

Just thought I would give you an update on the puppy, he is doing great! Feeling much better and eating normal. He is about 2.5 lbs right now as of his last vet visit for shots. He was not very happy about the distemper! =(

We named him Kermit, and he is sleeping most of the night now as long as we lay him down in the bed with us. He is just the cutest thing ever.

I did want to ask you how big you think he will get. It seems as though he might stay pretty little. Were his mom and dad very big?

Hi Tracy!

Just wanted to FINALLY send some pics of Belle, she's still absolutely perfect and I love her so much. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better dog, thanks so much.

Tracy,

I'm sure you don't remember us, but we bought a Morkie from you March 16, 2007. He's been quite the addition to the family! My son, Zack, and Gizmo have sort of grown up together. They are the best of buds, they get into all sorts of trouble together! We also have a bulldog mix named Bella and everyone gets along great!

He quickly grasped kennel training and shortly after that he got the potty training down as well. He wants to be the center of everyone's attention ... and he gets it! And everyone comments on how high this dog can jump! Seriously, he can clear just about any obstacle in front of him ... we laugh when he does it, it's almost as if he's got springs on his feet! He's about 13 pounds now, and he's been fixed and given a clean bill of health from the vet.

I'm attaching a picture from our Christmas cards ... it was crazy trying to get everyone to sit still for a picture, and after several tries, we had to do some photoshopping to get it right, but it's too cute!

Thank you again for everything! I am always telling people to check out your site and talk with you about puppies. You really know what you're talking about, and you are so caring!

Thank you again for introducing us to Gizmo! He's a wonderful addition to our family!

~Shawn, Katie, Zack, Bella & Gizmo
 
Tracy,

I wanted to send you a picture of our little baby girl, Sophie. She is a Carkie (Yorkie/Cairn Terrier mix) I bought from you in November. In this photo, she is with her new big sister and they are the best of friends. She is amazing, and so very smart.

Sincerely,
Katie
 
Hi Tracy

I just want to send you a update picture of boo boo that I got from you back in Sept. We are still working on the house training. The vet told me that boo boo has a mind of her own. But I trying to broke her of that habit to think she the boss. But I really enjoying her so far. She following me around the house just like my honey did. But just a FYI that I still have her.

Thanks
Marcia Brauckman
 
Hey Tracy! It's Katy, I got a puppy from you last Friday night. =)
He's doing really, really well- settling in great, and doing awesome at housetraining already! (accident free for two days already) The only problem is that he has started to bark a lot, especially when in his crate at night. He didn't whine too much at first when he was in his crate at night, and the first few nights were fine, but now he's started to bark and whine a lot in the middle of the night (like last night it was from 3AM- 5AM). I know you had them sleeping in kennels when you had them, and I was wondering if there was anything you could suggest for me to stop the barking? Ignoring the whining worked for awhile, but now that he's barking, he's waking up my roommate and neighbors and I don't want that! I play with him all night before he goes to bed and have him go potty, so it's not that he needs to go outside, I think it's separation anxiety or something. Anyway, any tips you have for helping the barking problem would really help! Thanks so much!

I thought I'd send you a picture so you can see how he is doing! His name is Gasper (though we think his real name should be Squirmy McSquirmyPants) and he is being very, very good with everything! Loves to give puppy kisses and sit on mommy's lap while she's on the computer. =)

PS- He loves the cereal! He actually had no problems eating at all when I got him, he's done very well!
 
Hi Tracy!!!

Just wanted to let you know that Callaway is doing GREAT!!!!!!! He is the best puppy!!!! (Still working on the potty training! ) : ) He is sooo perfect for our family!! The best "personality" ever!! SOOOO spoiled! Thank You !! Happy New Year!!

Hello-
This is Carlin's 2007 Christmas photo. She is 2 1/2 years old now. You'd never know she isn't really a puppy any more or that she has pins and a plate in her hip. She still has LOTS of energy and is a happy, happy girl! And has such a cute smile.
DeAnn
Hi Tracy,
We had a major drama a couple of weeks ago. Carlin some how escaped from the back yard and got hit by a car. I had to take her up to Iowa State for surgery. She is doing great, but is now bionic. They had to replace the ball in her hip and put a plate and screws in her illium. She is such a trooper though that she is already trying to chase the cats and doesn't get that she has to be confined for awhile. A positive out of it is that she is more willing to sit on my lap and snuggle. There is nothing like being able to snuggle a puggle! Just thought I would let you know. If
anyone ever has any doubts or fear about vet care, ISU is wonderful! not only do they do miracles, but they know how we feel about our four-legged babies. They are compassionate and caring.
DeAnn  
I sent you a pic Thanksgiving 2005. Here is one from 2006 (almost a year and a half). Carlin M'Darlin" is showing you her clown smile! She is such a corker. She is beginning to be calmer and to want to be held more. She is still very active and she entertains me everyday. I ask her a question like "Do you want out?" or "Do you want to sit with mommy?" When I ask the right question, she spins around and I know what she wants! Such a bright girl! DeAnn
I am still soooo happy with my baby- Carlin M'darlin'! These are pics from Thanksgiving at my mom's where Carlin charmed everyone! I planned to just take her over to meet everyone and then take her home. But everyone fell in love and wanted her to stay. She just played and played and then conked out on my niece's lap. She is such a cutie, and I enjoy the heck out of her. :)

Thanks,
DeAnn
 
Hi Tracy ~ I was searching through some Yorkie links on the web and that made me think to send you a couple new pictures of Zoie (you knew her as Princess).

The pictures are from a walk we took around my families lake in Eastern Iowa.  She just loves to go on walks, although she really prefers to just lay in the bay window and sun herself or receive a good ear rub!

She still enjoys her bi-monthly spa visits and boy does she know the word "cookie".  She loves her cookies!

I just thought you may like to see a picture of her.  My whole family just loves her dearly and she really is a member of our family, she goes everywhere.  She is very well behaved around people, kids and other dogs.

Just a true joy in our lives.

Have a great day ~ Matt

Hi Tracy,

How are you? Thanks for the papers, I got them a couple of weeks ago. My yorkie, that we named Tinka, is doing very well. We are just working on the potty training routine!!! She has good days and bad days. She is absolutely adorable and loves my pug, Chucho. She always gives him lots of kisses :) I have also included some pictures of Tinka and Chucho, although I gave Tinka a her first hair cut so hopefully the picture with her by herself doesn't look too bad!

Thanks again,

Alaina Cordova
 
Hi Tracy

Just thought I'd let you know how the girls are doing. You can see by subject line what they have been doing with all this rain. The camera comes out and both want nothing to do with it. Jesse is the larger one and Angel is smaller. There is a noticeable size difference in them. There 4 months now so they probably are pretty close to there adult size. The are awesome. Could you let me know how big the parents are, both height and weight. I send you updates as we go along.

Hope all your dogs are doing good and your family to.

Mary
 
Hello,

My Husband and I purchased a Morkie puppy from you towards the end of July. We have named the little boy Hunter.

This picture of Hunter was taken a few weeks ago... He is now as big as Charley weighing in at 10 lbs! He is a big boy!

We are very pleased with our puppy and he fits in perfectly with Charley.

Thank you greatly,

Misty and Adam Woods
 
Hello Tracy,

Haven't spoken to you guys for a while. I'll attach a pic of Jaxon. He's almost a year old!! He really does give us back the love we give him ten fold!!.

Jaxon may need a brother, or sister. Just kicking around the idea. Hope all is going well for you, and family.

Take Care,
Joe and Kathleen Curry

 
Zoe had her first haircut today. She start training class on Saturday. I can't wait to see what she can do. She is the smartest dog we have ever had in 22 years of having dogs. She puts the Brussels Griffons to shame. Whenever you hold out a treat she does all of her tricks one after the other - you don't even have to ask.

Hi Tracy,

Just a quick update on Zoe - 12 weeks old. She is just about house trained & has learned four tricks already. She sits, gives her paw, lays down & speaks. We should have waited to teach her the speaking one. Every time she sees food she speaks!! She has been coming to work with me. She climbs right over the gate we us to keep our other girls in the laundry room.

Thanks so much,

Renee Rodin
 
Hi Tracy,

We just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the time you took and help finding the right puppy for our family. We love Toby. He had a great day on Monday playing on the farm and in the grass. He only took one nap and feel asleep on the vet's table. The vet checked him out and gave him a good report. thanks again

Jen & Tom Ciha
 
Hi,

I figured you all might need a good laugh so here is a few pictures of Layla in her new pool. She was shaking the whole time! She finally got used to it when she could just peek in the pool from standing outside of it!!

Hi Tracy,

My Grandma bought Radar from you last August, and I just thought I should share our story. We decided to re-name him Mickey. He has been such a wonderful addition to the family!! When my Grandma got him she was going through a battle with cancer, which she unfortunately lost two months ago. I believe that Mickey provided her with so much love, companionship and entertainment during her long days at home, and gave her something to look forward to seeing when she came home from hospital stays. Mickey now lives with me, and we just made a move to Des Moines, so he's now a city dog!! He is just perfect!! So fun, and SO smart. He learned tricks and "manners" so quickly. He's wonderful, and I'm so thankful we came across your website and that you matched my Grandma with such a lovely little friend!!

Warmest Regards,

Stephanie W.

(the pic attached is from last month! he's grown so much since we got him!!)
 
Hi Tracy.

We purchased a Morkie (male) from you in November, we named  him Cooper and he's the love of our life. He's having fun this summer  with the kids home every day. He is very spoiled-we fenced the yard in for him and he goes to doggie day care a  couple of times a week to play with other dogs.

We are thinking about getting him a friend. He loves other dogs and gets really  unhappy on days he can't go to day care. I think he might be happier if he had a  'permanent' friend and then we could maybe slow down on the day care. 

Someone told me it's best to mix a boy dog with a girl dog? I'm sure  Cooper will like anyone-he hasn't met one yet he didn't like. But  whether they'd like him is the question-he loves to wrestle, we would  need a pretty 'energetic' one. I don't think he'd do well with a timid,  quiet one; he'd probably drive it nuts. He did play last  weekend with my sister-in-laws baby schnauzers and he did really well with them -he just let them chase him around the yard, so I think he'd be okay with a young pup.

Cooper is about twelve pounds and I would like to get another one that is on the 'sturdier/bigger size' again. I really like the non-shedding too. Otherwise we don't have a specific look we're after, just a buddy  for Cooper. I've looked at the websiteand I think they're all cute. I would also like to stay on the lower end of price range at this point.

Thanks. If you have something available maybe we could run down one evening this week or on the weekend, we would of course bring Cooper too.

Hi Tracy!

I know it's been a long time since I've dropped you a line - so I hope you remember me! I'm Debbie from Illinois - Last October we adopted "Buddy". According to the paperwork and information that you provided us, we had determined that Buddy's birthday was June 28th - YESTERDAY!

So Buddy celebrated his first birthday yesterday! We wanted to send a picture so you could see how he has grown and what a beautiful little guy he is! He has provided so much joy, and so much healing. You might remember that a few months before Buddy came into our lives, we lost our little "Domino" - after having him with us for 19 years! Well, little Buddy has completely stolen my heart away - a task I thought would be impossible for another dog to EVER do!

He is so funny - loves his toys ....especially his "baby" - (a stuffed elephant)...spins in circles when it's treat time...loves to cuddle and give kisses! He's a treasure!

Hope you and yours and all the puppies are doing well!! Thanks again for our little Buddy!

Hi Tracy,
It's been a while since we talked but I thought you might like to see Lucy and Lexy. Lucy was 2 yesterday and Lexy is a little over 9 months old. Aren't they precious. They are such good girls and are full of love. Lexy is a lot different than Lucy but in a good way. Right now they are playing chase and running all through the house. They are great. I wish I could buy another one but Mike says two is enough. He loves them both but I know Lucy is his favorite because she sleeps on his pillow. They are both happy and healthy. Just wanted you to see them.

Hi Tracy,

This is Jo from The Bahamas. Attached are pictures of your big puppy, Martini.
He is doing well, everyone loves him. He's adorable.

Thanks again for the lovable pup.
 
Tracy,

We have had Jake a couple months now. He just celebrated his 6 month birthday a couple days ago. Potty training was very difficult at first but he's finally getting the hang of it. He has an accident about once every 2 or 3 weeks, he's catching on, we are making great progress! Attached is a couple updated pictures of him. When we got him from you he weighted about 6 pounds now he weights about 10! Most of his adult teeth are grown in and because of his underbite it looks like he's always smiling :) Hope you are doing well. Talk to you soon.

Hi Tracy,

It was nice to meet you today. The ride home was good. We only got sick right at the beginning and then the rest of the ride was uneventful. The girls have named her Isabel and I think that my mom will like that name. She gets along with Sopie really well. I have included pictures of both of them together and then Isabel alone. I will try to get a picture of her with my mom on mother's day to send to you.

Thanks for everything!!!

Tracy,

Hello again, here is a pic of Lola and I at Christmas time. She is really calm unless she is around really active dogs. Then she becomes quite hyper, around calmer dogs, she is great.

Hilton is currently 7.5 pounds and 'almost' house trained. We have a bell hanging from our front door and it works pretty well...he rings it when he needs to go outside. Although sometimes he just rings it because he wants to go out and play. He sleeps with us every night. His baby teeth are falling out and permanent teeth are coming in. Fun stuff! I attached a picture for you!

Hi Tracy,


Thought you'd like to see one of the latest pictures of the little Morkie we bought from you back in January (Rascal). He is our pride and joy! We absolutely love this little guy! He had his first haircut about 3 weeks ago and still looks like a puppy, surprisingly! He is doing very well on the housebreaking too. We will be traveling to Atlanta with him in early June and both Rob and I are really looking forward to doing that with him. He has a WONDERFUL personality (thanks to you!) and makes us laugh on a daily basis!

Take care and thanks again for everything!

Tracy,

I can't tell you what a little spoiled princess Lucy has become since when I purchased her from you.

I've had her for nearly a month and a half, and I wouldn't know what to do without her in my life!!

She usually goes everywhere I do, whether it be to the store or for a road trip! She just sits in my Chanel tote and enjoys the site-seeing!

I still feed her vanilla ice cream everyday and she also gets graham cracker cookies if she does good with her potty training routine.

She's got such a great personality and everyone always compliments me on how cute she is.

Her favorite activities are running around in the backyard, rolling in the grass, and chasing her mini Frisbee.

Thank you so much for all your help and we hope to hear from you again!!

Good Evening Tracy!
I have prepared a slide show for you of Molly Lou starting from her first week with me until her a week ago! She is getting ready to turn 1year and 8months! She has been the perfect daughter for my soon-to-be husband and I. Yes, that's right, since I've found her I've found the human form of the love-of-my-life! He fell inlove with her the first second he layed eyes on her. Couldn't have asked for anything more perfect than her. She goes pretty much EVERY WERE with me including but not limited to shopping, skiing in the mnts, and dinning (even in fancy restaurants). It's been quite fun and a wonderful journey to watch her grow and her personality to grow and developed. And I will say, she KNOWS she the Princess around here and expects to be treated and even dressed like one! Yes...that's right, a dog who thinks she's not a dog, but is royalty! She fits in perfect! I'll send you more pics later! Thanks again!

Proud Parent,

Hi Tracy - I love my puppy!!!!
 
Hi Tracy!

Just wanted to thank you for our puppy, Lucky. He has made himself at home here and the kids adore him. I can't believe that he is 7 months old already. He is very sweet and very spoiled!!! We Love him. Thank you...by the way the kids are still trying to talk me into another puppy and keep bring up the fact that he misses his playmates.

Hi Tracy!

Just wanted to give you a little update on how my new little guy is doing. He has such a personality! He is already the boss of the house and thinks he is just the toughest little guy on this planet. I just love him, thank you so much. I named him Rupert, and he has already caught onto his name. Potty training just comes naturally to him, he already has it down! Again thank you so much for such a wonderful little pup. I'll send a couple pictures attached to this email, he is such a little doll!! I'm sure I'll talk to you again soon!


Sincerely,

Tiffany

We have 2 girls and 2 boys, as you can see, they are all very shiny and soo cute! Molly is a great mom and doesn't leave them but to go outside and potty.

Hi Tracy, we all just wanted to say that Oscar is doing great! He has has all of his shots and in about a month he will recieve his rabies shot and be neutered. He is enjoying he new friend Bubba the cat, but when it comes to potty training, he is kind of stubborn. He is so playful and loving. We are so glad that he is ours. Thank you for him.
 
THANKS,
The Crutison's
 
p.s.
please see the attatched pictures of Oscar!
 
Hey Tracy, its Tracy...again,

Joey is his normal naughty self & still my baby!!
Thank you so much for putting up with me and all of my questions.

Here is a recent pic of him,

Hi Tracy,
I have never seen a dog this cute, and lovable. His first night here he was a little timid...yesterday he was a little more adventures, today he owns the place......and smart, all day today when we were playing....he stopped, went to the room where his paper is, and went. We've not had an accident, and I believe he is paper trained!!! Did you start this before he was sent? He is amazing.......and what a snuggler.
Yes we have a bag of his dry food. He eats....just not very much, as well as drinks his water. He already knows when it's time for ice cream. I do put a little food in with his ice cream....and he really scarfs it down. He truly is a joy to have in our house....laughing, playing, and snuggling....he really makes us smile. Thank you sooooo much for everything.
He will have a good home here....he really is loved. We'll keep in tough, and send pictures as time goes by.
Take Care and God Bless,
Joe, and Kathleen Curry in Illinois
 

Hi Tracy,

Just wanted to say, our puppy arrived on time last night. What a joy his is! He is beautiful in every sense of the word. Very, very cuddly and soft. He settled down in bed with us last night and woke up playful, I think he's getting use to us. There is one concern I have, all he wants to eat is ice cream...We gave him some at the airport when he got here and he drank plenty of water, but he is just not eating. (except ice cream) He urine is fine, (he's even hit the paper twice). His stools are normal. So, everything seems to be fine there.
We had a bath this morning, made him even fluffier and softer. We are truly enjoying him and he'll have a wonderful home here. We will send you pictures later as he grows. Thank you so much for everything you have done. We really appreciate it.
He is loved! We have name him Jaxson!

Finally a picture of my babies. Snicker was neutered today so he is a little laid back but he is our bundle of joy and he plays fetch great!!!!
 
Hi extended family,

Its Jason and Daleacia. Just thought we would write to tell you how much we love and enjoy our new bundle. He is so awesome. He is already attached and we love that. We can't wait for him to get a girlfriend, but for now he gets to be single for awhile. Thank you so much again. Here is a picture for you. Enjoy.

Hi Tracy,

New pictures of our little girl. This picture was taken on her first birthday. She is so sweet, and we love her more every day. Don't know what we ever did without her. Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Hi Tracy,

Thought you might like to see what our baby girl looks like now. We just had them groomed today. The bow will not stay in very long. She rubs her head until it comes out, but looks so cute now. She weighs 3.8 lbs. Had them both to the vet a couple of days ago. Fred now weighs 5.1 lbs. Had Wilma's rabies vaccine and had microchips put in both of them. She is healthy and growing like a weed!!

Sharon in Colorado
  Hi Tracy,

My whole family absolutely loves Lily. She has been the best thing to happen to my parents. She's been great company for my mom since all the kids are grown and my dad works all the time. She really has a sweet disposition. I especially love the fact that she will let anyone pick her up and hold her. You don't find that a lot in small dogs. She is just so willing to give so much love. Thank you for making it possible. I included a couple pictures I've taken since we received her.

Thanks Again,

Rebekah Upton
  Hi Tracy!

Yes, Bubba is the hit of the neighborhood. And, my 20 month old nephew knows his name but not my sisters ... it is hilarious. Plus, Bubba is easy to say! He loves to run and when we go on walks he is always looking back at me as if to say 'are you coming?'

Before I had Bubba, I didn't understand what people meant when they said 'lap dog?" Now I know. Bubba is absolutely a lap dog. He loves hanging out on my lap. So far it has been great, but he may be a bit spoiled.

Thanks SO much,
Wendy
 
Good Evening Tracy,
I'll bet you thought that you would never hear from us again. Wrong!!! Actually Tracy Rena and I owe you many thanks many times over. Kayla has been such a blessing in all of our lives. Chloe is no longer the timid and sickly little girl. They both appear to mimic each other's ways all the time (at least they try to). Chloe and Kayla are so playful with each other every day, all the way. Chloe is now very bouncy, she eats extremely well (sometimes too well), and now she does something that very few poochies ever do. She honestly and truly smiles. It's not one of those presumptuous smiles, she really smiles 100% quite a bit. I've attached a picture of her when she started her smiling, however now it is a very big smile (and she is proud to show it). Now for Kayla. Her specialty is dancing and talking. You heard it right, dancing and talking. When she dances, Kayla is up on her back legs only and she will twirl and hop. She has a normal bark and she has a talking or a rambling on type of bark where she will carry on for minutes non-stop. Kayla will watch TV, and she does pick out animals, dogs in particular on shows. However she has a serious hang-up. She is a 100% prejudice poochie. If Kayla sees an Afro-American on TV, she will growl viciously. We have no clue why. She will even do this is she sees someone while on a walk. It is crazy. But all in all she is a very gorgeous looking, loving, "Tom Boy" (an I do mean Tom Boy). She is quite the opposite of Chloe (the Prima-Donna).

  Hi Tracy,

Wanted to let you know that things are going so well with Lily. She's catching on to using her puppy pads pretty quickly (although she has a bad day every now and again!), and the Vet said she looks beautiful and in great health!

Thanks for everything, she's a wonderful puppy!!! I'm sending a couple pictures of her!

  Hi Tracy,

Beaner is doing very good. Trying to get him potty trained...plenty of work but few accidents. He is for the most part predictable. Attached is a photo of Beaner with my youngest. Beaner had his first Vet appointment today. He got a rabies shot, flea and tick script and was given a strong ID script as well for a worm bug or something that they detected in a stool sample... He is a good dog, very friendly, warms right up to the kids. He has a blast in the morning chasing the cat around the house. They have become friends at last!

  Hey Tracy,

Just wanted to tell you how much I love Brutus. He Is the funniest little thing and I could not be any happier with him! Every where I go people stop me so they can play with him! He is dressing as a lobster for Halloween so I will be sending you pictures soon! Thank you so much for everything!
  Hey Tracy,

  Hi Tracy!

I thought I would email you a little update on Bailey-- which is his name now :)
He is the BEST little puppy ever... he is in his crate all day long, while we are at work (of course we let him out in the afternoon) but has NO accidents... NOR has he ever made a peep when he knows he has to go into his crate... i think we have to Thank you for that! Here are a couple of pictures and even a video of him... he LOVES to roll around in the grass, and i thought you might get a kick out of that since when we got him you mentioned that he had never stepped foot in the grass! :)
WE can't thank you enough for giving us so a fabulous puppy! Everyone in our family loves him! He is definitely spunky that is for sure!

Thanks again! :)

  Tracy,

Just wanted to send you a note and pics of our little guy "JJ". He is so sweet. It is quite an adjustment. Always looking before you step cause he loves to be right under your feet. Still working on the potty training, but it is coming along. He is very smart and only piddles where he shouldn't every now and again. Thank you for all the help with my "new mom" questions, I really appreciate it. By the way, my husband does want to know the name and number of the vet that you use incase our vet has any questions regarding JJ. Thanks again and I will send new pictures as he grows!

  Hi Tracy!

Just wanted to let you know that "Buddy" made the trip back to Illinois just great! We made several "short stops" so we could interact with him, and give him a chance to stretch those little short legs! He's doing great here at home...and I think..just maybe, he's spoiled already! We see the vet tomorrow morning - and I'll keep you updated! I'll send photos soon!
Thanks for everything!
DEB and "Buddy"
  Here are some recent pictures of Kody, he loves laying in the sun, throwing his toys around and LOVES to fall asleep in our laps. we also got him a couch type thing so he can play with his toys without being in the cage. we also took him to the beach.

Thank you so much for him!
  Thought you might like to see a picture of Harley in his get up!! We were at a campout with our Harley Davidson group of friends last weekend and my friends bought him the hat and scarf........so cute!!

Thanks for the time, Tracy! We love Harley!!!

  Hello Tracy,

Just wanted to let you know how Harry is doing. He is adjusting to life in the most northern city in the United States, Barrow Alaska. He has traveled a great deal in his short life, from Iowa to Alaska. We can't imagine life without him. He has become quite the celebrity at the local grocery store, whenever we go to the store without Harry, everyone asks where's Harry? He enjoys walking to the Arctic Ocean and around town. So far we have been fortunate and have not run into any polar bears. Because of the bears and the frigid temperatures in the winter, we have successfully litter trained Harry.

Thanks so much for Harry - he really is a bright spot in our lives. I have included a picture of Harry.

  Dearest Tracy,

I wish to express all my gratitude for Icy: he's truly the cutest little thing on earth!!!

Besides being so cute, he's healthly, playfull, easy going and so smart!!! Already he knows his name and "come", and releases himself in the garden or in the training pads. Look at him after grooming, isn't he adorable? He loves the pool (jumped in it twice!) and his new home where he feels very comfortable. We give him so much attention, love and care and he returns it to us.

As you'll see on the album attached, even my husband, who's never touched a dog in his life (true), is totally seduced by Icy, he loves him, pets him, plays with him...It's a miracle! Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart, Icy is a pure joy! I would heavily recommend you to anyone looking for a puppy. Please don't hesitate to upload my email and pictures of your web.

All the best, always!
Cynthia

  It has been a little over nine months since I purchased my adorable little man from you. I purchased Drew November 4th of last year. I just wanted to send you a few pictures of Drew and thank you again for all your help with bringing the two of us together. Drew just had his 1 year birthday a few weeks ago and he had the best little doggy party ever. I remember when we were talking about which puppy would be the perfect fit for me and you were telling me about a puppy that followed you everywhere you went. Well not much has changed with Drew, he now follows me everywhere I go and I wouldn't change it for anything. Well he is doing great, I haven't had any problems since I picked him up from LAX, we are a happy little couple. Thank you for everything..

Hey Tracy!

Finally got a pic of Marsh. He's pretty much got the run of the house now, & he's absolutely precious (that is, when he's not being a holy terror)... You were right though, he's excellent company!!! I'd be lost w/out him - you're the best! :)

Thank you so much,

Tracy -

We named him Frankie and he is just adorable! Everyone in the family just
adores him! Here are two pictures of Chad and I with him! We just love him so much!! Thanks!

Tracy,

Thank you for all your help in selecting our poogle Wrigley! He is a joy to have in our home and very well behaved. You can definitely tell he's part beagle and poodle, he doesn't shed at all and could sniff and eat anything in sight if it was his choice. Thanks again.

Here is a picture showing how happy Mouse is. He is doing great !!! Still trying to get him house trained, but he seems to hate the kennel. Cries all night and makes messes, so we quit the kennel and he does much much better. Only has an accident now and then.

Bob wants to make him into his clown dog and take him to the parades. We will see. Anyway, we love him and he is a hoot to watch! Even my greyhounds are good with his "puppiness" ways. Thanks for a great companion...
 
The Stouffers--Bob & Nancy
 

Hello-- Just an update on Mouse. He is the love of my husband's life. I must come in second now!!!!

He is doing wonderful. He has learned to use his piddle pad 99% of the time. Once I get the bottom boards on the backyard fence then he can start going outside with the big boys to go potty. That will help a lot. Right now he can go under the fence and I worry about that. He does come right back when called.

He is such a sweetheart. Thanks again for such a great pet. He is really helping my husband a lot. Bob has to have surgery on his shoulder next month and I know that Mouse will be a great companion. Mouse already
