Snow Angels ~*Boozy & Charlie*~ Up-Date

HI Donna-

Just wanted to let you know how things are going with the pups...GREAT!!! I will admit I was a little worried about Charlie because he was so hesitant, but he came around, fast! We are all very happy, and they are spoiled rotten. They know how to sit, and can walk on a leash pretty well. We are teaching them to "come" and our dog walker is teaching them "shake". They are very smart (learn so fast) and very loving. Charlie is housebroken, and we think Boozy is, but Charlie usually speaks up for the both of them. We did go with crate training, and it was easier than we thought, so we're happy, and they love their crate (mostly because they love treats!!!)
We just had our 12 week vet visit, and they are doing well. Charlie is weighing in at 6.6 lbs, and Boozy is weighing in at 6.1 lbs. Does that seem like alot? The vet didn't say anything, but considering they should only weigh 12 or 15 at their max I was concerned. We feed them twice a day, and follow the guidelines on the food package (we stuck with the same brand).
Well I have attached some recent photos of them, some of them in the snow. They are true Floridians, they like to be outside, but hesitate at first before heading out to the cold!!! Hopefully, we'll warm up soon, because we are all sick of this weather!!!! Well take care.

Silly ~*Sully*~ Berry

Hi Donna,
I hope everything is going well for you and your family. Sully is doing fantastic! He's leveled out at 21 pounds and is healthy as horse. I've attached a picture of one of his favorite "look-out" spots. Every afternoon when I am helping Matthew with his homework, Sully gets up onto the back of the couch and watches everything going on through the living room window. It never ceases to amaze us how smart he is. He knows names of family members and will do every command we give him. It's like having another child in the house. He also has no problem whatsoever telling us what he wants from going outside to getting his food to being rocked. Yes, I said rocked! We still have the glider rocker from when Matthew was a baby and he will go to my mom, swat her in the leg and have her pick him up so that he can be rocked. He prefers to be belly up!!!!! He still loves to sleep under the covers at night. We call him our little cave dweller. Even though he's the family dog, he is so attached to me. Wherever I go in the house, he follows me. When he's tired, he'll curl up in my lap and get his rest. If I lay down after Matty goes to school, he'll curl up right under my chin in a little ball. His latest bit of mayhem is kicking Steve off the bed at night while we watch t.v. If Steve gets up to get something, Sully won't let him back on the bed and will "attack" him until he thinks Steve has earned his right to get back onto the bed. It's hysterical to watch. It's like a mini schnoodle zoom on our bed. The noises that come out of him are truly funny.

Good luck with the upcoming litters and have a wonderful springtime.

Take care,
Suzanne Berry

Happy 1st. Birthday ~*Bear*~ !!!!!!!!!!

Dear Donna,
I've been meaning to write for a while now, but never seem to get around to it. Our sweet bear celebrated his first birthday last week. It is hard to believe he has been with us for nearly a year. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is everything we had hoped he would be and more. He has such a fun personality and is the "top dog" of the neighborhood. He loves to spend the day outside when the weather is nice then come inside to cuddle with us in the evening. He really enjoys going for trips in the car and meeting new people. He gets along great with other dogs, but really enjoys their people more. As for cats... all you have to say is "here kitty" and he'll come flying to see if it's one of his buddies. Probably the cutest thing to see is how excited he gets when his "dad" and kids come home. As soon as Bear sees or hears my husband's car come around the corner, he is at the backdoor waiting to greet him. If he doesn't get some attention the minute the door opens he howls to let you know about it. I've attached some pictures of Bear with his birthday bone and fast asleep on the stuffed poodle he got for his birthday. As you can see he has lost all of his brown spots and looks alot like his mommy Ivory-ecept for his gorgeous green eyes which are just like Spencer's.
Hope all is well with you and your family. Thanks again for the happiest, healthiest and most precious puppy.

The Little Ladies ~*Sophie & Molly*~ Up-Date

Hi Donna,

Just had to send you a couple of pictures of the happy Fleming family. Molly and Sophie are such loves . We are so amazed at them
and how much they have changed in the one week we have had them. They are discovering their bark, and they are so much fun to watch.
The best thing we ever did was get the two of them together, because they constantly play with each other and are having the time of their life,
as are we, just watching them. They were so worth the wait!! My nieces and nephews have fallen in love with them too, and come over every chance
they get to see them.

I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience of adopting these two beautiful Schnoodles from you. It is evident Molly and Sophie
were given an abundance of love and care right from the start. They are happy, healthy, beautiful and fun loving little girls because of the wonderful
beginning you and you family gave them, Oh yeah! and smart , boy are they smart! It is obvious that you love what you do and care for all of your puppies
the same way you love and care for their parents.

Any family looking for a Schnoodle should look no further than you and Town and Country Schnoodles, as you are all just so wonderful
to deal with and have the most beautiful little puppies. This was a great experience from day one and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts
for it all, especially Sophie and Molly.

We will keep in touch and will spread the word about Town and Country Schnoodles.

We will send updates of Sophie and Molly as they become little ladies.

Sincerely

Dee & Bob Fleming

Happy Birthday ~*Riley*~!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Donna,
Today is Riley's Birthday! We thought we would just send you some pictures to give you an update. Riley is doing great! She loves running around and chasing squirrels and sometimes she gets so excited she just runs around in circles. We love to tease her by using a flashlight and pointing it at the ground and watching her try to catch the light. In the winter she loves chasing the
snowflakes and playing in the snow. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

The Snow Man ~*Flynt*~ Up-Date

Donna - We hope the note finds you well! Attached are some pictures of Flynt playing with the kids during a recent snow storm we had. Hard to believe he will be turning 1 soon. He continues to be a true joy and an integral part of the family! As you can see, his coloring is getting lighter and more like his mom. We were excited to see the Ivory/Spencer pups that were born in January.... we keep telling Flynt he has more brothers and sisters!

~*Charlie*~ & ~*Boozy*~ Joining Their New Family

Hi Donna-

Here's a quick update on Charlie and Boozy: The ride home went well, they slept most of the way and only a little crying at first...but soon warmed up to us. Charlie was a little hesistant but came around. Once we got them home, it was like they were always here. They don't like the cold but who can blame them. Boozy is adventurous and quickly adapted to the snow and cold ground, still working on Charlie. We might need to get him some booties! We have a vet appt on Wed and will email you after that.
Today was great! Thank you so much for the toys and food and everything. Your husband and son were wonderful. They answered questions and were very informative. When I tell people the process they seem to think it sounds complicated, but in actuality it was very smooth. We are really excited and thanks again. We will continue to keep you updated via your blog or email. Take care. Thanks!!!

Jeri, Joe, Charlie and Boozy!!

HI Donna-

Just wanted to give you a quick update. We brought Charlie and Boozy to the vet this morning. They are doing well and we very good while there (a little scared at first, but I think more from thr ride than the actual vet). They have gained some weight. Anyways, we decided to crate train and they are doing well so far. Just a few accidents the first day b/c we were a little slow to understand their body langauge...we understand it now. We are very happy and a little tired! Ha! Take care. We'll send some photos soon.

Sincerely,
Jeri Olmstead

~*Molly*~ & ~*Sophie*~ At Their New Home : )

Hi Donna,

Just left Tom and Kristopher a couple of hours ago. They are so nice and so were so helpful. Molly and Sophie -- OH MY ! What can I say! They are absoultely beautiful what loves they are! I didn't want to put them down to sleep. They are sleeping now in the cage we got for them. Molly started sleeping in the living room , putting her head on Sophie's back. I am so happy we got the two, so they can hang out together. We have taken so many pictures already. Molly is so calm and just goes with the flow, Sophie is a little more hesitatnt and has cried a little more . Molly actually hasn't cried hardly at all. They are simply beautiful and you send them to their new home so equipped. I put one of the blankets in with them that you sent home. Molly has her head on it. I will send a reference and some pics to you in a day or two so you can post it if you would like. Any family who gets a puppy from you and your family and gets to know you is truly blessed. It has been over 5 months
but they are so worth the wait!!

I did start this and then thought I would just call instead, but when I did not get you on the phone I thought I would finish this for now because I just had to tell
you thanks for the wonderful experience of adopting from your Spencer and Ivory. They do good work.
Running out to a nearby store, while they are sleeping to get them some string beans. They ate some carrots

I look forward to hearing from you and I will be in touch.

I told Tom he had to save some chocolate for you, the cookies I made for their trip, I can make no promisses, you might not see them.

Take care,
Dee :) :) :) :) :)

*************************************************************

Sophie and Molly are great, oh my goodness, it is hard not to squeeze them so hard you could hurt them. I have to stop and remember they are not stuffed, they look it. They are so perfect they don't look real That saying "love you to death" I think I know >how that came about. They have so much fun together and are fun to watch. They chase after each other , Sophie does most of the chasing, I see what you mean. She has FOUND herself, especially where Molly is concerned, she chases after Molly and wants what Molly has all the time. Typical sisters!! >You did not say in your paperwork they sleep through the night! Can you believe it!?- So far anyway. >They went to the vet Tuesday for heart worm pills and some other shots. Bob wanted to take them by himself, he always took>Sara so he made the appt during the morning when I was at work. He wanted to show the "girls" off all by himself. Proud Dad. He wanted all of the attention, but the office staff turned all the attention to the "girls" :) They were our vet's first schnoodle patients.>They were the talk of the office. All of the tech's and doctors came out to see them , they could not believe with their>different coloring and hair texture that they came from the same litter. They checked out great, as we knew they would>>This weekend we will send you some pics and I will send my reference about how fantastic you all are at Town and Country >Schnoodles, not to mention the wonderful, beautiful pups you have.>>We have taken so many pictures of them,this weekend we will plan to take some using our tripod so that maybe we can prop them up together and send you one of the two of them together.>>I am glad you enjoyed the goodies we sent and tell Tom and Kristopher I am impressed that they did in fact leave some >cookies and candy for you and your daughter. The jury was oout on whether the cookies and candy would make it through>the long trip to Florida. I don't know that I would have been as disciplined. Now the "bones" --I was sure Ivory and Spencer >WOULD get their paws on them. I actually tried one- YES! I did, I figured it was all people food ingredients- why not?>No sugar , so not sweet, so not fattening, so I am NOT interested , and naturally I passed on having anymore.>>Well take care Donna, Hi to all and I will write this weekend and hopefully send a pic of them together.>Have a great day!>Dee :)

Smarty Pants ~*Sadie*~ Up-Date

Hi Donna,

Greetings from NC! I thought we were do for a status update. Wanted to let you know Sadie is doing great. She went for her final vaccinations including rabies this past week and went for her second grooming appointment today. We also started puppy school two weeks ago and she is a quick learner....well in most cases :-)

Sadie seems to have adjusted perfectly to her new home and we love her to death!

Thanks so much!

Kevin and Lauren

The Loving ~*Lucky*~ Up-Date

Donna,
I hope this e-mail finds you well. I just wanted to update you on Lucky, who will be 16 weeks this Thursday. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. We made our trip to Kentucky last month and he did unbelievably in the car. The only time he was awake was to eat or use the restroom. Sixteen hours in a car and absolutely perfect! He goes with me to get the kids from school everyday and LOVES all the attention. Everyone has to comment on his green eyes and brown nose. Other than an occasional accident, the potty training is going great. Thank you again for taking such good care in your breeding. He is one of the most loving, affectionate, calm (yes I said calm) puppies I have ever seen!

Sincerely,
The Greenier's


PS- Pictures are soon to come!

~*Sampson*~ The Super Schnoodle

Hi Donna,
It’s been a while since we last updated you on our little “Sam Man.” He’s a perfect 20 pounds and the best friend we could ever have asked for. He has recently taken to being a bit of a jokester… likes to grab our shoes and/or socks and run around with them until we catch him. He doesn’t chew, just likes to be sure he is the center of attention! We recently had a decent snow storm (the 1st since he was brought home last year) and he went WILD! He loves running in the snow and sleigh riding with the kids.
My son and Sampson are truly best buddies. From the time we brought Sampson home last January, they haven’t left each others sides.
I would love to add another little one to our family… Everyone says we need a “Delilah” for our Sampson… Maybe after our oldest is off to college and the house isn’t quite as hectic.
Hope all is well with you and the family.
The Estevez Family
