Bunker

Hi Teresa,
Bunker is fantastic.... He has to be the best dog ever... He is sitting and shaking. He goes everywhere he can with me. He still sleeps in his room and still has never made a peep at night. He's the best. Very loving, and really playful. Jadee likes to ride him, and he lets her. Thank you very much for letting us have him. He is a great member of our family...

Dooley

Hello Folks,
Our new little angel "Doolie-Boy"is doing wonderfully. He and Mr. Davyes are bonded, and they play together constantly. They both sleep with us. We are sending him to school, but he really doesn't care for it; however, he is really learning quickly. He is everything and much more than we anticipated-a very loving little fellow that just needed a chance for a good home. He carries something in his mouth constantly. What a joy he is to us, and now we have two little treasures.
Thanks a million.  ~  Don and Judy

Tilly

Hi Teresa,
We just spent a wonderful few days out at our cabin by Beaver Lake. We got to chase phantom squirrels, fetch sticks, play in the water to our hearts content. Very few rules and regulations there. Even got to sleep on the couch any time we wanted. We were thinking about you and just thought you might like to hear from us. Come and see us sometime. Life is good!

~  Love from Tilly and Skyla

Amos

Hi Teresa,

Amos is great. He still carries a ball in his mouth almost every where he goes. He even sleeps with one just to make sure he's ready to play when he wakes up. He's a great buddy. Thanks to you and Don for taking care of him for us.

Bunker

Hi Teresa & Paula,
I have two very happy dogs who are curled up together on the sofa side by side, tired from playing!. Journey and Lexi hit it off immediately and are great buddies. She is learning new things already and loves training time with treats and fun. She is quite the character and everyone has fallen in love with her.
Our travel home went really well. She didn't make a peep in her bag while flying and made lots of friends while waiting for boarding! She is so friendly! You and Paula do such wonderful work, and I so appreciate all the time put into Journey. She's wonderful! We couldn't be happier.

Most Sincerely,  Andee

XAVIER

Hi Teresa,  Xavier is working out so well for our family. We think he is really a smart dog. The boys really need a "rough and tumble" kind of dog like Xavier. He is active, but not hyper. The boys are absolutely crazy about Xavier. They take turns holding him in their lap while they do their homework.

HOLLY

Teresa, We got Holly this funky little hat that she hates to wear; however, she loves to run around the house with in her mouth. She's so funny. We are so happy with Holly we believe there was divine intervention involved in us finding her.

Hi Teresa, Grayson has been doing very well. I also adopted a little female Weimaraner named Riley. They have become BEST friends and play nonstop. They definitely help keep each other company while I’m at work. We’re one big happy family now! Grayson and Riley will be starting obedience training in a few months. They are fast learners. I feel they will do well. I’ll definitely give Grayson a BIG kiss from you. He’s my big kisser/cuddle bug! We had a wonderful first Christmas together. Santa brought huge stockings full of goodies! Grayson and Riley have filled my life with such joy and love. I can’t imagine my life without them now. I’m truly blessed!   ~ Kara

ZACH

Dear Mom Teresa...don't tell my new Mom that I have been on her computer tonight but I wanted to tell you myself about my new home. Chloe and McB are terrific playmates although I can't understand what those Scotties are actually saying. I need to BONE up on Gaelic I guess. Still we have great fun, especially Chloe and I who is really full of herself and thinks the whole world revolves around her. My new Mom sure doesn't think so. In fact, I've been getting a lot of extra attention.

I'm being very good and I'm sure this is where I want to be forever. I discovered this great pond and I can run across this one high place from one side to the other right through the water. It's so fun. The young Scottie, Chloe showed me the "ins and outs" of the neat doggie door and I'm real good at that now. I have so much freedom here. The yard has so many great places to run around and then jump out at the other ones! It's so funny when I surprise them.

Today I got my first car trip into town, just me and Mom. I just had to ride up front and look out! She wouldn't let me sit on her lap while she was driving the dog mobile although I tried to a couple times. Other than that I was a good boy. She went to a pet store and got me a brand new collar and a super tag that says, "I AM LOST" plus our phone number in case I'm so stupid I get loose. So now I guess I am an official resident of Washington State!

Also, I get to sleep at night right on her bed with the other two. WOW! It's so soft and comfy up there. When we wake up in the mornings, Chloe and I just roll around havin' a real good time and Mom watches us play until she finally gets up.

Well I better go now before she catches me online but I wanted to thank you so much for finding me such a great home.

Woof! Woof! from your old kid Zach!!
