Hi Erin,
Just as I was delightfully watching Cody out of the kitchen window, I  
thought that I should send you a quick note.  I don't know how we got  
so lucky, but we have the BEST DOG IN THE WORLD!!!!!  We are so crazy  
about him-- he is unbelievably sweet, affectionate, playful, SMART,  
trainable, cuddly, .......  He makes us laugh all day long with his  
playfulness and energy.  He has great playmates next door-- a young  
cocker and a young ESS-- they are crazy about playing with him-- he is  
quite the popular pup!!!!!  We roar with laughter when we get them  
together.  The rain in slowing us down lately, but if it is dry, we go  
play!!

He sleeps well, loves his crate, eats well, "potties" well, rides in  
the car well, obeys well...... We think he is awesome!!!!!

I hope all is well with you and all the pups at your house!  (My  
brother-in-law and wife are trying to talk themselves it a pup soon--  
they LOVE Cody!)

Thank you for our sweetie, and take care!

Hi Erin,
 
Here's the latest of Griffin.  He's doing so well and we all love him so much, except for those razor sharp teeth that seem to be leaving all of us in shreds, no matter how much we try to discourage him.  
 
He had another appt with our vet this past Saturday.  He weighs 14 lbs now and is all legs!  He goes to the back door when he needs to go potty so he's coming along very nicely.  He absolutely LOVES the pool and pond.  He takes flying leaps off the pool deck and my only concern is that when he gets a little tired he starts to sink a bit, so we really have to watch him.
 
Hope all is well with all your new puppies.

Hey Erin,

Hope everything is going great for you! Gunner is doing great and he  
is sooooo wonderful. I just called to set up an appointment for his  
second round of shots for the 9th. They told me to get a record of his  
schedule of his shots, wormings, etc. Sorry if this is any trouble for  
you. Let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.

Thank-you so much once again!

Talk to you soon,

Sarah :)

Hi Erin,
 
Here's some of the latest of Griff.  He's doing great, eating real good and going potty outside pretty consistently.  Still a few accidents inside when we're not paying attention but he seems to be getting the whole idea for the most part.  I think he's very smart.  
 
How often were you clipping toe nails?  I wasn't sure if it was time or not.  
 
Hope all is well with you and all your new puppies.

Hey Erin, I was gonna give you a few updates on innis. He is doing great! Couldn't be more perfect really! When he sleeps, he sleeps so heavily and when he plays, it's nonstop! Potty training is going good; he is very hard headed and has learned to hide his accidents.  Innis and katie the kitty love each other! They play and nap together. He has met so many people and is becoming quite the social butterfly! In fact, my friends argue over who is going to babysit him in the afternoon until I get off work! The picture is while we were waiting to see the dr. He was in trouble cause almost messed up in the vets office! I hope you and your family are doing well. And staying cool! Here in Mississippi it is so hot and humid hard to stay outside for longer than a few minutes! -Kristen Burrell

Hi Erin!
 
I hope all is well with you. Abbey is doing so good too! I am sorry it has taken so long to send pictures, but I have attached a few to this e-mail. She is growing well and is adjusting to our family and our schedule. She has a great personality. She LOVES to play outside, especially with our cat, and is making friends with all our neighbors and all the neighborhood animals. We really love her and she is fitting in perfectly.  Annette

Hope all is well. Bella is wonderful! She is up to 23 pounds now, and
almost 16 inches at the shoulder, so she has grown a lot in the past few
weeks. She is completely healthy. Her new favorite activity is swimming,
which she is very good at. She is very well behaved, and our vet raves
about her great disposition. We have also had two family friends, one a
hunter who raises bird dogs, and another Springer Spaniel breeder, who
have both told us she has the prettiest coat they have ever seen. I have
attached two pictures.

Erin,
Well we finally made it back home.   Let me tell you Mia was the best behaved on our trip.  She got to ride in a car a LOOONG way, she stayed on a houseboat, played with a huge German Shepard in the country, ran the field at a farm and stayed a few nights in a hotel.
 
She was a hit wherever she went.  Her favorite spot was the boat, she loved it.  She would open the door herself and go onto the deck to sleep or follow our kids to go fishing from the dock.  I have sent a picture of her on the deck.
 
She is busy making friends with all my other animals.  My pound puppy has adopted her and keeps a close eye on her.  My other springer (the one with the neurological problems) is less welcoming, but my pound puppy doesn't let her even growl at Mia.  My cats are getting used to her following them and just walk away when she gets too rowdy.
 
We are completely in love and she has everyone wrapped around her little paw.
 
I hope everything is going well with you.  Did your next litter arrive yet?  Did you find a home for Madison?
 
Tell Reagan we said Hi and that Mia will be meeting another Reagan in the next few days. 
 
Talk to you soon,
Dawn, Ron and Benjamin
