Susan,
Champ arrived safely. What a handsome little fella. He is also very well mannered and playful. We are so lucky and blessed to have him. We cannot thank you enough for making this transition as simple and it's comfortable as possible. He was well worth the wait! If you like we will on occasion send you updates of his progress.
Warmest regards,
E & T

Hi Susan and Family,
I wanted to send you all an update on Kutalou. She is doing really well! Took her to the vet on Friday for her 2nd round of shots and she now weights in at 3.5lbs from two weeks ago when she was 3.25lbs. This little dog has a lot of attitude and I think she has gotten it from the girls. She loves to roll around and sprint around the house. Kutalou prances almost everwhere or bounces when she is excited, its really cute to watch. I have got her leash trained and heal trained. She walks in the mornings with us to take my daughter to school. She will ride in the stroller with the girls for part of the way and then walk the rest. Kutalou is a joy to have and the girls love her to death. M (who is in Afghanistan) even seems to like her, he will ask the girls questions about her all the time and ask to see her on Skype as does grandma when we Skype with them. We hope your having a wonderful fall. I know I am loving the cooler weather.
Take care,K, K, M, and Kutalou :)

Hello Susan,
I wanted to send you some new photos of Candi, now at 3lb 5ozs (10 weeks old)…..and doing very well,
We are really enjoying her and she is a “mess”. Loves to bite and play rough…trying to slow her down from playing to rough. Potty training is going ….so..so… will take a little more time. But she is a doll and we are having a lot of fun with her….thanks again for a wonderful “companion”.

PS. These shots were taken in Brenham Sunday morning. She loves running in Bluebonnets…………….

Greetings from NC! Bridget and I are doing great and are both happy. We hope you and your family and all the Min Pins are doing great as well.
I am so pleased to tell you that Bridget is such a sweet and smart puppy! She is now 5 months old and 8.50 lbs. I have decided to leave her ears natural. She is a beautiful, endearing puppy who is so full of energy and spunk yet sweet and loving. I get lots of kisses and she also cuddles/sleeps on my shoulders. (She is sleeping on my shoulders now -- did you all teach her that?).
We are attending puppy classes together and she learns so quickly. She is also socializing well with both her puppy and human friends. We take lots of long nature walks which she loves. I have a small toy "agility tunnel" that she loves to run through and I hope that is something we can try together as she matures.
I have attached some photos that I have taken today which she patiently modeled for. I have attached a few others including the "agility tunnel" that is really a cat toy--but we won't tell her that.
Enjoy the photos! It takes 50 shots to get one good one but I have so much fun. She is a very loved and spoiled Min Pin. :-)
Take Care! V- & Bridget 11.4.07 / North Carolina

Dear Susan,
I don't know if you remember me, but I adopted Xena's boy #3 from you and your family. I promised my sisters I would drop you a note to let you know how he is doing. My three little sisters absolutely love him. They named him Maximus Steven, because they said he was big and mighty like Maximus in the movie "Gladiator" and Steven was the name of their Min Pin that died last year. He now weighs a whopping 4 lb. 5 oz. I surprised them again a week later I got them a Miniature American Eskimo puppy too, born two days before Maximus. They have become best friends and refuse to sleep or go anywhere without the other one. They took my old room and converted it into their room, and when they are not playing inside they run around outside on 10 acres. Plus, my mom's birthday was earlier this month. She teaches kindergarten and instead of getting her any gifts, they all brought dog toys for them. So we now have over 150 toys and have had to hide the box because the two of them now know what is in that box!
I have enclosed a pic of my mom holding Max and his buddy. I wanted to thank you again personally for all that you did. You and your family have a Merry Christmas!

Hi everybody,
Its Penny. Remember me? Just thought I'd write and let you know how I am. Mommy says I have to be the sweetest minpin ever. My disposition is so unusual along with the fact that I talk rather than bar. I weigh 8 lbs now and they say my ears were to beautiful to crop. So nothing has changed, just that I am bigger now.

Lacie May B., was one of the Min-Pins that came from you. I wanted to sent you a picture because I know that you would appreciate them. Lacie is so great. She loves to travel with us every were we go, She has gone on several airplane rides with us and I gotta tell you that no one even knew she was there, so I was mad that I bought a plane ticket for her, but that is what makes it so easy to travel with her. She spoiled, but well trained. Was the best dog in puppy class, so she took 2 of them.
Well thank you
Sincerely,

Hi Susan,
Hope all is well! Absolutely. We would love to give a reference for you anytime! That's the least we can do. Buster is doing fine and he and Beau are best of buddies. Buster is definitely a character and I think he thinks he is a hundred times larger than he is! He just had his final shots on June 26th and now weighs 5lbs 9oz. I will forward to you a picture of him we just took in the last few weeks!
Talk to you soon!

Hi,
I purchased my min pin Rocco from you June of 04. Just wanted to let you know how great he is! He is about 9 lbs of pure muscle and long legs – almost looks like a colt. Probably the most gorgeous dog I have ever seen. No other min pins I have seen even compare. They all look ugly to me. He can definitely be a pain in the butt, but is my little companion and can’t imagine life without him. My dad is so in love with him he is considering buying a sibling from you to match Rocco. I take him on major hikes in the mountains all the time and the boy has more energy that anyone I know. He can climb a whole mountain with me and still be running around. He is also the sweetest little guy. Once he knows you he remembers and loves you forever. Just wanted to let you know how great he is. I attached a picture.

Hey Susan,
I just thought that I'd give you a quick update on Rocky: he is a wonderful little dog. We just love him! We have been trying to work with Rocky on a daily basis and he has been catching on to the obedience lessons very quickly: so far he sits, stays, lays down, shakes both front paws, and gives high fives. Luckily, it took about two full weeks of intense supervision and reinforcement, but he goes to the washroom outside and is excellent about asking to go out. He is so full of life and always happy. He is 7.7 lbs and I think he is about 11inches tall (at the withers). Its hard to be sure though because he won't hold still long enough to get an accurate height. Attached are some recent pictures of him. Also, I included two pictures of my Jack Russell's (Dots is in the pic by herself: Jab is the brown one and Rue is the white one with the black mask). It was too cold for poor Rocky to be outside on that day!
I just want to thank you for allowing us to have such a great dog in our lives: I can't imagine life without little Rocky! I hope that things are wonderful with you and your family!

Hi
Sorry its been awhile since I have written and sent pictures of Phoebe. Phoebe is doing wonderful. She like to still be held the same way your daughter used to. She is very cuddly. Phoebe likes to sleep with us or she will go sneek into the girls rooms and sleep with them. When Phoebe goes to sleep she like to find her way under all the covers and sleep between your feet. Buddy the cat and Phoebe play all the time; they tease each other. Phoebe likes to play with the girls Barbies, poly pockets, Lincoln Logs and any expensive pair shoes or slippers that she can her little mouth on. I can't believe Phoebe is over 1 year old already. During the summer we would put Phoebe in the pool to swim. She likes to get wet but wants to jump out right away. She is a cute little swimmer. Phoebe doesn't like her ears to get wet. Buddy and Phoebe get a bath every couple of weeks together and they are so good in the tub. Have you heard how Phoebe's brothers and sisters are doing? Attached is a picture of Buddy and Phoebe. Both animals are cover hogs. Enjoy.

Hello! I bought a puppy from Honey’s litter born on March 14, 2006. I named her Izzy (Isabella) and she is such a joy to have. She loves to play, run, and snuggle. She definitely keeps things interesting. She is so beautiful and I couldn’t be more pleased! Thank you for a wonderful, healthy puppy. I have attached a few pictures of her first year for you to see.
The picture below (was taken), on her first birthday!
Thanks,
