The Lovely ~*LuLu*~

Donna -
Thought you might want to see "our little girl, LuLu"
(LuLu is a Nikita Pup)
as she has grown up. As you can see, she is doing well and has been a wonderful addition to our family. Earlier this year she gave us all quite a scare when she became very ill one weekend in June. A late night rush to the emergency room at our local animal hospital indicated she had eaten something (from the yard) that really made her sick. Anyway, she was back on her feet in a day or two with no side effects. She still has the energy of a puppy and loves all the attention she gets from anyone who stops to visit.
Thanks
Karen and Kyle McGonigle

P.S - We have had a pretty wet and hot summer and mushrooms were growing faster than we could get rid of them. We think she got a mushroom !!!

Looking at your website you've been busy. All the new pups look great......
