| Oreo (now Penny)
Penny is adjusting wonderfully to our home! She is very smart for 10 wks old, she will sit on command, knows "outside" & "get busy", she is learning to shake, as she is always throwing her paws up, she is learing "stay" and be "down". The cockatiel has flown down several times to meet the puppy - so we have been slowly introducing them, Penny is too much puppy at this time to meet the bird without supervision. So Jo-Jo gets to see Penny occasionally. Penny and the children are getting along very well, they are excited to teach Penny new things. She is already playing soccer with the beach ball and the boys love to have her chase the jump rope around the yard. Angela our 4 year old daughter is learning how to deal with the puppy positively (as Penny will nip at the legs), we explain to her the how & why of training Penny; her learning process with the puppy has helped the older kids understand also. We are kennel training & leash training. There are alot of chew toys within reach as needed, and there have been a few piddles on the carpet, but she is only 10 wks old. She had some dry skin issues - will discuss with the vet, may need to change diet as we did with other older dog, she was prone to dry skin - I think it is the breed, our other dog had a herding background, and she had dry skin. Penny eats Purina Puppy Chow. She sleeps in a kennel and in the laundry room on top of the clothes - when we let her. Penny is outside during the day, she plays & runs with the kids - the kids are home during the day, we are discussing building an agility course for Penny once she gets a little older. The boys will be designing her course for the backyard. Thanks again! Deb |

| Chips (now Pumpkin)
We had planned to call her Pumpkin but liked Chips too
so kept Chips as her middle name! She is now Pumpkin Chips. I am including
some pictures. She is a wonderful little puppy. She has really bonded
with Neko and we are really happy! Chips is doing fine - she did very
well on the trip back and last night she slept in the crate in our son's
room with Neko sleeping next to her. Today we took her for a little walk
in the snow and she loved it. She and Neko are doing very well - only
one growl over a rawhide! She has some new toys and is settling in very
well. Our son really loves her and we are so lucky to have found her.
We want to thank you for your kindness and for helping us to find our
lovely new puppy. We will send you pictures as she grows. With our appreciation
Gary and Pauline |

Michelle
& Michael
Princess & Bob the Builder are adjusting
awesome. They have been for their follow-up visit to the vet. Both kittens
are really good get along well, considering our other pet is a dog :-)
The children are getting along really good with the kittens and pack them
around like babies. The kittens alread were spayed and neutered, when
we adopted them, so that is one cost we didn't have. They were housetrained
from the day that we brought them home. We showed them the litter box,
and they haven't had any problems at all! :-) We enjoy our vet that takes
care of our animals. They are eating kitten chow. Usually, Bob the Builder
will sleep with my son, and Princess sleeps with my daughter. When it
is the kids bedtime, the kittens follow. They have no form of identification,
because they really don't go outside. I am so glad that we got to of them.
They play so good together! Before I can send you a picture of the cats,
I have to let the cam. charge. Thanks so much they are alot of fun! :-)

| Clipper
We just love Clipper, got him home and gave him a bath, which he seemed to enjoy. Won't hardly leave my side. He is pet adjusting fantastic to our home. Clipper does just fine with our son's dog and cat. Our three Grandchildren showed up about an hour ago, he loves the attention. Clipper is a very smart dog. He has just started to want to chew things. At first, he would not eat dry dog food, but is eating it okay now. Clipper sleeps in a soft kennel right beside our bed. We go for daily walks and runs with her on and off leash. You have been absolutely terrific with our adoption. Michael |

| Cujo (now Koda)
Here are some pictures of Koda(Cujo). Koda has adjusted to his new home. So far he has learned to sit and wait patiently for a treat. He loves jumping up on our bed to say goodnight. What a happy guy. He loves to be brushed after playing in the dirt hills. Thank you both for everything. Sorry we have not sent any pictures in awhile.. Koda is a wonderful dog and full of love.

Walker (now /Couper/Cooper)
We wanted to let you know how well Coup/Couper/Cooper
formally Walker is doing. He has settled in extremely well. He was up
every two hours the first two nights, but I took him for his first shots
and a deworming on Monday and he has slept 3 to 4 hour stints ever since.
Cooper aka Walker is doing great. He loves to cuddle most of all. He is a good hiker, goes on horesback rides, great at cross country skiing, and loves to swim. His best friend is the cat who he abuses, but he has a few horse friends too. Are you sure he is a pure-bred labrador? We think he might have some hound in him. His legs are long. I will attach a picture, but Kirsten has the skiing pictures. Thanks for a great dog. Claire |

| Little Rocky (now Savannah)
Savannah is doing great. She is house trained,
with occassional accidents during the night. She gets along well with
my three kids, ages 10, 7 and almost 2. She plays outdoors in our yard
on and off all day long. She also runs with the kids while they are bike
riding. She is scheduled to |
