The Sensational Shelby & Scout up-date


Hi Donna,

Just wanted you to know that Shelby is doing great and loves her little sister, Scout! Scout and Shelby must know they are related (both Sunny pups) because they act like long lost relatives for sure. They just play and play and play. One Schnoodle is amazing – two is just WOW! They have totally different personalities (Scout is so fearless compared to Shelby, who is scared of everything from thunder to vacuums) but both are such joys and they get along so well. Thanks so much for making our family so complete with these two great dogs!

The darling ~*Duncan*~ turns 1 year old!



Hello Donna....

Sorry for the delay in gettting back to you. Duncan is doing great! She has been an absolute joy this past year. Everyone in the neighborhood just loves her, and she has a couple of good dog friends that she hangs out with. We have attached some pictures of her and her bestfriend Samson, a 100 pound shepard lab mix. Crazy enough they just play and love each other. Nonetheless, thank you for giving us Duncan, and you never know, we might want another one in the future. Take care, Donna.

Sweet Face ~*Harry*~ Up-date




Dear Donna,

My parents are Sandy and Debbie Katz. They adopted Harry (from Zoe's December litter) and have been wanting to send you pictures of him. However, they are probably the only people in the world without a digital camera, so they asked me to help!
Harry is now almost 8 months old and is absolutely the most adorable and fun little puppy. He is very smart and they have been working with him and a trainer, and he can sit, lie down, and heels very nicely. He has endless energy, and despite being just over 20 lbs, loves nothing more than to be carried around by my mom and to climb in her lap for a quick nap. He has been a great addition to our family, and I hope you enjoy the pictures.

The Huggable & Squeezable ~* Eli *~ Up-date




Hi Donna,
Thought I'd send you an update on Eli (A Zoe Pup). He is such a great little
guy, all 12 lbs. of him!!! We've had lots of fun together.
No one can believe how he stretches out on the floor (as in the first
photo below). Actually the Vet told me that is a sign of good hips
when he is able to lay like that!
This past Thursday Aug. 3rd, Eli was neutered. He is slowing getting
back up to speed. The Vet put him in an "Elizabethian" collar for a
few days so he would leave his stitches alone. Aside from that he is
doing well.
Hope your summer has been great. Eli and I are getting ready to go
for a walk.
Take Care,
Renee'

~*Buddy*~ the handsome little man up-date


Hi Donna!

Buddy (A Lucky Pup) is the greatest pup. He rarely barks but sure has a lot of spunk, especially with other dogs and puppies. He has the best social etiquette, both with people and dogs. I attribute that to your excellent upbringing in your home. He even made friends with the neighborhood bully dog who has a reputation of attacking small dogs. I took a pocket full of treats the first time they met and ever since they've been best friends. The pocket of treats sure goes a long way in the dog world! The funniest scene was Buddy meeting a cat. I guess he never saw one before. It didn't follow any of the dog rules. We started Buddy at the beginning with clicker training which worked great. Now we're in puppy class which doesn't use clicker but uses the same protocol of positive reinforcement. He understands all the basic commands and obeys them as long as there isn't something better to do.... :) We're getting there! I only wish my children were as eager to learn! Maybe they will learn from the dog. Buddy runs a lot, sleeps a lot, and eats a lot. He weighed in at 12 lbs last week.

Best wishes,
Ingelora
