Dear Dyan

I am very sure about the last digit being a "2" The BRL2 part of the tattoo is very clear. It's only the beginning of the tattoo is obscured by her fur.

Thanks for the description. I will memorize. Lainey is so striking that lots and lots of people ask about her. A lady at the restaurant where we took Lainey just last night says she shows her German Shepherd and just couldn't get over how beautiful and well-behaved Lainey is.

Thanks so much for letting me have such a wonderful puppy.

Dear Dyan

Just to give you an update on Lainey. We survived the holidays and all the visitors. Everyone just loved Lainey! She is great with people and is very well-behaved.

I am attaching a photo of her with my oldest daughter. Franklyn wants to do more and more with her and is very attached to her. He now watches the Dog Whisperer religiously and is always reminding me about my "energy". Good Grief! We are continuing with obedience training and have started agility training as well. Lainey is the smartest in the class by far!! I take her everywhere I can and she is a great traveller. We also now go to the dog park where she is a great favorite and has lots of friends, both human and dog. She is having most fun with a boxer that is the same age and as Lainey and with a big poodle and an Irish wolfhound. It's like they've formed a play group!

Finally I still don't seem to have received Lainey's AKC registration papers. I'd really really appreciate it if you would send them right away.

Thanks very much

Thank you for 13 years and 8 months of the most loyal friend in the world. Duchess was laid to rest today and will be sorely missed.

Dyan,

Here are a couple of pics of Ruby. Thought you'd like to see her colors and how she is progressing. The right ear is sometimes a bit floppy at the tip (usually in the mornings), but as you can see, it is generally upright most of the time.

Dyan,

Thank you so much for the visit today, you have an amazing setup. It was our pleasure to you. Your boy's and girl's are exactly the way I imagined them, very proud, wonderful personalities, good natured and beautiful.

In all of the excitement and fun we we had, I forgot to ask for a receipt for my records. Would you please email me one? I appreciate it. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. I am looking so forward to the addition to our family.

Sincerely,
Angela

Hello Ms Merkel,

Back in October 1993, my wife Diana and I bought a female puppy from you. We named her Delilah. She was a sweet, wonderful pet that we loved dearly. Dellilah died in December 2006. She lived a long life, giving our family lots of love. We miss her dearly.

It has taken me awhile, but I am thinking about getting another puppy. We are looking for just a good family dog. We won't be showing the dog or putting it through any specialized work training. We would prefer a puppy. Do you have any available?

Thank you,
Marlo Casabar

Lena has adapted rather well to her new digs. She is practicing

her commands and training is going along just fine. We

changed her diet and her diarrhea has gone away, but not

her appetite. She is something else, she will not leave me

alone for a second. She follows me around the whole day

or lays next to me while I am in the office or on the couch.

She sleeps next to us on the floor or in her crate and wakes

me up around 7. She wants to play all the time and loves to

learn new tricks. She is a great dog.

Lena's coat has gotten much better after I combed all the

bunches of hair off her. It now is so silky and soft and

the red hue is brilliant. She is beautiful.

Tuesday she goes in under the knife and I'll have the

vet send, email or call with the info, which ever you need.

I'll then need all her papers and a bill of sale.

My cousin is coming down in February and he is interested

in another dog to compliment the one GS he has now.

Hello Dyan,

A couple of pictures of Ruger at the beach, he had a great time and there was alot of sandy stools!! His ears are still not up, but he is still teething and won't be 5 months until the end of the month.

I have heard of having to tape the ears up at 5 months, should I be ready to do that?

Thanks,

Jim

Lena/Mambo puppy 7-16-06

Dear Dyan,
Just an update on our handsome Tex(G-dog) who we purchased from you a few
weeks ago.  Our trip home from Dallas was calm and non-eventful we almost
thought we had the wrong dog.  Tex made the transition to our home very  well.  
We did have a couple nights of crying yet we are all now sleeping
sound and comfortable.  Tex loves to be with all of us and enjoys his big
back yard playing with the boys.  The boys spoil that dog!  He loves to sit
by mom out in the grass when I do my gardening.  He is such a great
companion and we are so happy with our Tex!

We will send a picture in the weeks ahead.

Thank you and I hope all is well!

Hi, Dyan:

Just thought I'd drop you an email to let you know how 
things are going.  I hope you get this one.  Here's with crossed fingers.  
Forgot to tell you that the puppy's crate was not messy after that long 
trip.  I put the crate in my kitchen, but not surprisingly he will have 
nothing to do with it.  The only time he ever had anything to do with 
it was when I used it as a barrier between the kitchen and dining room, 
but puppy just pushed that thing out of the way and followed me into 
the living room.  Just wanted you to know that I am more than pleased 
with my little guy.  He has just taken over the place.  Shasta just looks 
at him and turns and looks at me as if to say "look what he's doing 
now."  Last night he followed me up stairs, but I had to carry him down.  
He goes wherever he pleases, exploring this and exploring that.  When I 
talk to him, he talks to me - let me rephrase that he responds in his 
puppy voice to what I am saying.  He's a lot of fun already.  I have not 
named him yet.  Want to pick just the right call name to suit his 
little personality.  What a wonderful puppy, Dyan.  I am more than pleased.  
I look forward to getting his pedigree and color photographs of his 
mother and father.  Thanks again, Dyan.

Ussi/Mambo puppy 7-4-06

Diane, I hope and trust this finds you doing well! I thought I'd drop you a line with a couple of updated pics of Liebe . As you know, she turned a year in May, and she brought so much joy to our lives. She is everything we hoped she would be; such an incredible companion. She is real pals with our friend's golden retriever, as you will see in the tractor picture. She has such a fantastic temperament and loves just about everyone she meets. Lately, she has learned to jog alongside of me while I am riding my bike. I find that this is the only way I am physically capable of giving her the exercise she requires (smile). She also likes to play "find" in the woods where we are working on her tracking skills...she's got a great nose. We have a new address and I have included it below. We have not received the AKC paperwork for her as of yet and would appreciate your sending it to our new address as soon as you can. Take care, Kerrin (and Joe) Kostelic Ussi-Mambo daughter: 6-12-06
