Happy Holiday's ~*Sadie*~

Hi Donna,

Given we are coming up on our one year anniversary of having Sadie (January 5th), I thought it would be a great time to check in with an update. Sadie is doing wonderfully and we love her to death, and so does everyone else she meets. She has topped out at a whopping 10.7 lbs. Our cat still weighs more than she does.

We are expecting our first child in March and we believe Sadie is aware that something is up. Her new favorite spot is to lay on Lauren's belly, it is like she can sense something is in there. It will be fun to see how she interacts with a new baby, more importantly she will not be top dog in the house anymore. I am sure she will adjust just fine :-)

I have attached a couple of pictures. One of her lounging on Lauren's belly and the other of her showing off her Christmas hair cut.

Hope all is well in Florida and have a great New Year!

Merry Christmas ~*Cooper*~

Hi Donna.

Merry Christmas! I’m sorry it’s been so long since I sent you an update on Cooper. I was reading the blog today and it was so nice to hear about the other pups. Are Baylee and Copper brother and sister? She’s adorable!! Cooper is doing very well. As you can see from the pictures, he’s getting very big. He was 17 ½ lbs. at his four month visit. He’s had all of his shots now, and is scheduled for his surgery in early Feb. I’ll be sure to send you the documents when I have them. Cooper is a perfect fit with our family. He’s into everything and has tons of energy. He’s doing very well with the house training and listens to the “sit” command every time. I do have to add some new commands to the list. I’m just very busy trying to get my children to listen to me, LOL! The only thing we’re looking forward to is his baby teeth falling out. He chews everything in sight..including us! Once that stops he’ll have the run of the house. I just can’t say enough about how happy we are with him. I must tell him I love him 50 times a day! He’s so friendly and loves to say hello to people. We have a fenced in yard, but we walk him as often as possible b/c he loves it so much. We run him on the beach when we can. The last time we were there he followed some bigger dogs into the water. He’s always making us laugh! Thanks again for providing us with such a great puppy!

We wanted to send you pictures of us dressed up in our Santa hats.This picture was taken of us prior to our haircuts, so it was tough
keeping these little hats on our little noggins. We wanted Mommy and Daddy to send this with our other pictures,but they forgot.
So here it is

Happy Holiday's ~*Lucky*~

Good Afternoon Donna,

I hope this email finds you and your family well! Lucky (Deliliah 11/1/07) had a great first Christmas with us! I sent you a photo from my iphone as it was the best we have from Christmas. He is the best puppy we could have asked for! He sleeps with my husband and I every night and does wonderfully in his crate during the times we are out of the house. He has made the long trip to Kentucky with 3 times now (soon to be 4 on Sunday) and is a pro at it. My husband and I are thinking of adding to the mix in the summer. Any chance of Deliliah having any litters in the spring. Well for now Lucky is our little dream and we could not be more proud of him. Take care and we will send more updated pictures soon!

Thanks,

Diana, Tim, Hope, Jake, and Lucky Greenier

Merry Christmas ~*Baylee*~

Hi Donna and Tom,
Baylee is ready for the holidays. She is excited to have the family home for a few days. Baylee is almost 5 months old and is about 10 lbs and is full of energy. She found her stocking hanging on the window and tries to jump up to it to see what's inside. Christmas should be fun this year. Baylee brings us so much joy and laughter. Wishing you and your family happy holidays and best wishes for 2009.

Bonnie, Gary and Shaylyn

Happy Holiday's ~*Cody*~

Hi Donna

It's been a while since giving you an update on Cody. He's 3 years old now but in many ways still a puppy. We just love him and have so much fun with him. He always has to be in the middle of everything we do and always looking to play with everyone.I'm sending my favorite picture of him. As you can see he's taken over my twin grandson's Elmo chairs. I'll be keeping watch for the new litters. I'm always tempted to get another....you never know! I just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and many blessings in the New Year.

~*Margot*~ Pretty In Bows Up-Date

Hello to the Davis Family!

I’m so sorry to take two years to reply! We have had some major things going on in our lives and I have been terrible at communicating with everyone.
Anyway, I am attaching a very recent photo of Margot – She had just got back from a visit to the groomer (one of her favorite places) and that is why she is all dressed up with a bow and a bandana. She is such a happy dog and the light of my life. She loves my son’s dog the Springer Spaniel who lives with us, and her favorite toys are her squeaky rabbit and her ball. We have a lot of snow here at the moment and she wants to play in it so much, but after a few minutes outside she turns into a snowball and needs rescuing!

We wish you all a Wonderful Holiday and we send our Very Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year,

The Stevens Family and Margot

~*Sophie & Molly's*~ First Snow

Hi Donna,

Merry Christmas from all of us up here in snowy NY. We hope you are all doing well!

I have attached pictures of the girl's first walk in the snow and their first Christmas photos.
They are not too fond of the snow , and must surely miss the sands of Florida.
Molly jumped right in , then couldn't figure out how to jump out, Sophie wanted no part of it
The plus side to the snow is that they sure hurry up and do "their businiess in this weather" ,
no strolls in the park this time of year. They have quite the winter wardrobe to keep their little
bodies warm. They just had hair cuts, which I would have put off until, warmer weather, but
here in NY that is 4 months away and they can't wait that long, so cutting their hair didn't help
but we wanted them to look like the little "classy chassies " that they are for their pics.
Maybe one day we can be "snowbirds" and they can once again play in the sand.

We thank you for the beautiful , lovable little Schnoddles you are so good at breeding.
We wish you, Tom , your children and all your 4 legged family members a wonderful Christmas
and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009.

I will write again soon. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Dee, Bob
Sophie and Molly.Fleming

~*Abby*~ Cutie Pie Up-Date

Hello Donna,
Every thing is going well. We have good days and not so good days with the house training. Sometimes she has more than her typical b.m's and she catches us off guard and makes a mess in the house. Oh, well we'll get there sooner or later. She had her third visit to the vet today, got her rabies shot and is now a little over 8 lbs. She knows sit and wait pretty well. How long should we continue to feed her three times a day? I'm thinking that if we feed her only two times a day she may have less frequent b.m.'s. I hope you can get your computer fixed soon. I am really looking forward to seeing and hearing how her brother and sisters are doing. Thank you and take care, Desiree

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

Hi Donna,

Just wanted to tell you that Abby went to the vet. yesterday and everything checked out just fine.She was a very good girl while she had her ears cleaned and some had some flea medication applied. She has been doing better than expected during the night. She has been sleeping in her crate just fine, no troubles. She went to bed last night about 9:30 and didn't wake up 'till about 5 something to go pee outside. I thought I would have to take her out more than that during the night. She is a very good girl, she only cried a little during the night. I think she was just dreaming. She doesn't like to be in her pen though. She will cry pretty good while in there if she is not tired. Thank you again for a sweet pup.The Geremia's

~*Buster*~ The Wonderful Dog Up-Date

Dear Donna,

I just wanted to give you a quick update on Buster. He's doing really well. He's gotten all of his shots now and I would be happy to email evidence of this to you if you require it.

He's a wonderful dog. He's very good and potty training has been going really well. I work out of my home so I'm able to get him out every two hours or so. Other times he's in the crate. Eric comes home from school at 3 and then Buster pretty much has run of the house so his crate time is very minimal. Buster is a very social dog and loves everyone he meets. He's a riot!

I've discussed neutering with the vet and he advised same at 6 months, which would be mid-January. I will set up the appointment at the end of this year and keep you posted. I will send you whatever papers the vet gives me in January.

I'll post pictures when I can. Thanks again for such a wonderful dog.

Madame ~*Roxy*~ Up-Date

Hi Donna!
Well...Madame Roxy is now 4 and 1/2 months old and weighs 10 lbs! She is a little pork chop! If she was any cuter, I would have to eat her up!!! I'm already sucking on her little pink, fat belly!!! She was at the vets this morning for her final (thank goodness!!!) puppy shot! She got her 2nd Lyme vaccine today and her nasal Bortadella! (Yea...we're all done for a year!) She took it like a trooper and was an angel! My vet commented on how these Schnoodles just have the best temperament (Spanky jumps into the vet's arms whenever we go...couldn't care less that he's about to get a shot!) Needless to say, the entire vet's office just loves both Spanky and Roxy!

She started going "up" the stairs about 3 weeks ago but couldn't go "down" till just this week! It's so completely cute!!! She's much slower than Spanky, but she puts her mind to it and hops down the stairs! Everyday, she discovers something new that she can do! She jumped (well, we don't actually know if she jumped or fell!!!) off my bed this week, and now jumps off all the time! She can't get up, though! She stands up on the side of the bed with her little tail wagging till I pick her up! TOOOOO cute!!!

I was wondering...do you know the weights of both Jezabelle and Zoe? Spanky is 14 and 1/2 lbs. and the vet is estimating that Roxy will be about 18 lbs! I recall that Spencer (both their fathers) is about 11 lbs. Just wondering if either dog will be similar in size to their parents!

Roxy will getting spayed on January 15! Poor puppy!!! I haven't told her yet! I know that she will be a complete trooper about it but will let you know just as soon as it's all over with and she's back home doing the "Schnoodle 500" with her big brother Spanky!

We are at the beginning of winter here in CT. We had our first snowfall about a week ago...only about 2 inches, but enough that both dogs were in their glory!!! They ran around is circles on the front lawn till they were covered in snow! I had to put both of them in the kitchen sink and pour warm water on them to get the snow balls off their legs! We did that for about 3 mornings! It eventually warmed up and we got a ton of rain the last 3 days that melted everything! We're waiting for the next blast!!!

I hope everything is well with you and your clan! Can't wait to see the new love muffins this spring!

Take care!

--Lauren Arons and crew!

More Wonderful Pictures Of ~*Baylee*~

Hi Donna and Tom,
I sent an email yesterday but I don't think it went through. If this is a repeat please ignore.

Baylee will be 4 months on Monday. I'm sending you a few pictures which will show how much she has grown. She had her second visit to the Vet yesterday for her last shot and while we were there had the Vet put in a chip. That one must have hurt because she let out a huge yelp. The Vet also pulled hair from her ears - that was hard to watch. Poor Baylee didn't like that much at all. I'm afraid Gary and I wouldn't be able to do that to Baylee and hopefully the groomer will take on that task. What do you do, leave it to the groomers or do you do it yourself? Baylee now weighs 7.5 lbs. The Vet also suggested we wait until she is six months old to have her spade. Hopefully that is okay with you and once we have her done we will send you the confirmation.

Baylee has become the star of the Rogers' household. She loves to be chased, loves to climb the furniture, chew the baseboards, run the Daytona 500 around the rooms or in the backyard around the trees, bushes and flower beds. We couldn't catch her if we tried. She is the fastest little runner we have ever seen. Baylee is almost completely potty trained but every once in awhile she will mess and she knows she has done something bad. She is very smart and knows us by name. She hears Shaylyn's alarm in the morning and runs to her door waiting to say goodmorning. She tries to hard to understand what we are saying. Gary and Shaylyn started singing to her and she sings along. Not very soothing to the ears but it is cute. She loves having her belly and ears rubbed and she hates having her feet and face wiped after she has run in the wet dirt. There is nothing better than coming home from school or work and having Baylee greet you at the door excitedly waiting to give you a hug and kiss. She is very protective and very loveable. We absolutely adore her.

The first picture is of Baylee the first week she came home. The second picture is from yesterday. The third and fourth I'm sending just cause she is so darn cute!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Take care and we will keep in touch.

Bonnie, Gary and Shaylyn

L@@k At How ~*Baylee*~ Has Grow

Hi Donna,
Thought I'd let you know Baylee is doing great. She went to the vet last week and got her 12 week shot and her rabies shot so lucky Baylee got some jewellery. At 12 weeks of age she was 4 lbs 6 oz. Today she went to Pet Grooming. Now we can see her beautiful eyes. She was nervous but the lady said she did really good. She didn't like her feet touched so we will have to work on that. She is full of energy and loves to run and be chased. Needless to say, she plays us out at the end of the day. I've attached a couple of pictures for you to see how much she has grown. Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care. We will keep in touch.

Bonnie, Gary, Shaylyn and Baylee

What A Beautiful Baby - ~*Baylee*~

Hi Donna,
Thought I'd drop you a note and give you an update on Baylee. She is getting into everything. She figured out she can jump and it will only be a matter of time before she will be able to jump up on the furniture. Now she pulls herself up by clinging to the chair. She just loves the Blue Buffalo puppy food and she has really grown. She is getting use to our routine and loves to wake Shaylyn up in the morning. I've attached a couple of pictures for you. She will have her first visit to the vet next week. Take care.
