From Denise who has our beloved Ulrika, “Rika”, our seven year old dam to many of our pups, now in her forever home,

Elizabeth,

I have been thinking about you often as I have been wanting to write a note of thanks to you. I have to say that prayer really does work. When we lost Lady I never would have dreamed that another dog could fill that hole that she left in Bob’s heart. (I attached a picture of Lady along with my younger sons pug and my older sons girlfriend, this is the only picture I can find of her) Lady was extremely special to us because we raised her from a pup and she had a vocabulary larger than most people. We have found that Rika has a lot of the same characteristics as Lady but in a different way. Hard to describe. Rika is more affectionate towards me and does not care how much you pet and hug her.

Rika make us both smile all day long. She is the true princess around here. She will not sleep in her bed, I guess she was never used to that. Anyways, thank you again. Rika is all you said she is and more. I am so thankful that you where very truthful to us because I don’t think I could have put her back on a plane to ship her back. I have to say she was glad to get out of the crate when we met her at the airport. Bob had to place the crate away out of her site because she does not want anything to do with anymore.

Thanks again,

Denise
