9/19/2013From Brandy who has Lilly, a female pup from Macho and Kuma, 2013″Lilly is amazing! What a good girl. Thank you” 9/10/2013 From Anne who has Mattie, a female pup from Macho and Kuma, 2013 Hi Elizabeth,

Mattie is such a great puppy! She made the trip back to Seattle with little fuss, sleeping most of the way and sticking right with us when we made stops. She is eating with gusto and is sleeping in her crate by our bedside at night. House breaking is going well. She obviously has been living in a very clean environment. She seems interested but not freaked out by all the city noises, garbage trucks, children yelling, school bells (we live a block from an elementary school), etc. All the neighbors have dropped by to meet her and she is very friendly to everyone. Yesterday her border collie sister Ellie came home. They are doing well. Ellie has not decided what she thinks of Mattie yet, but she is showing interest and tolerating the puppy silliness. Meanwhile, our guest dog Bernie has been doing his part to entertain the puppy. They are about the same size and are wrestling and chasing each other around. We decided to wait a week to see Sean since everything is going so well at this point. We find ourselves saying “Thank you Elizabeth” several times a day as it is very clear that she has had a perfect start to her life. We can’t thank you enough for the love and attention she has received. We will keep you posted and will send photos as soon as we get our act together to take a few. Anne 9/3/2013 From Deborah who has Solomon from Cardinal and Kindra 2013″ElizabethWow you’ve got puppies, puppies everywhere… must keep you going.Received your email and sending you some recent (last week or so) pictures of Solomon. He still is the sweetest, kindest soul I’ve been around. He is becoming very responsive, his training (Canine Good Citizen classes) are going great and he loves them. He enjoys his walks in the woods and loves meeting all the new dogs (except for Mounting Max — name speaks volumes! ) and people and kids Loves chasing grasshoppers, and butterfly’s. Can’t figure out how those darn squirrels get up so high so fast and the rabbits that run right under his nose amaze and startle him. Good time for all. We took him out on the boat for the 1st time this weekend and he was calm and relaxed, until Randy got in the water and then he went ballistic. He was screaming (the puppy scream) and extremely agitated and finally just jumped in and swam to Randy, grabbing his life vest and trying to get him back to the boat. We tried to get him to relax and let him know all was OK but to no avail. He loves the water and swims like a fish but he continued to get extremely upset whenever Randy got into the water. Will have to work on that from the shoreline. All we can figure is he was trying to save Randy. Never saw that in such a young pup and never that intensely. Most of my GSD have thought it best to guide us out of the water but not this upset about it. Will try again like I said from in shallow water on the shoreline.Time is moving so fast and Solomon grows so much but we certainly are treating each day we have with him as the best day ever. Thanks again for a great dog.Gotta get the place ready for winter!!! So soon.The best to you and your familyTake careDeborah ] 8/22/13 From Jacque in North Carolina who has Max, a female pup from Cardinal and Kindra, 2013

” Just a Max update….she is the best! We went to the vet yesterday and she is 32 lbs and according to the vet a PERFECT puppy! Very mellow, sleeping on a big dog bed at night, house broken weeks ago, barks to go out, loves to play and swim…..I could go on and on. I will update you with more pictures as she grows into those ears and paws. Take care, Jacque” 8/12/13 From Tom in Virginia who has Ruby from Cardinal and Kindra, 2013 Scarlett and Ruby are getting along very well. Ruby is amazing. She has been housetrained for 3 weeks now. She is growing like a weed and is a bundle of energy.
