Hi Mrs. Warren!

I understand you were my first mom, but I've got a really great permanent mom now so I'll call you Mrs. Warren. You should remember me - it's Oliver! You know, really tiny, awesomely cute... that's right - it's ME! Well, mom (I call her mom, you might remember her as Chris Spitz) thought it was time for an update so I'll fill you in really fast and invite you to visit my updated dogster page - mom put some new pictures on it. I start basic obedience training. Mom & dad want me to do it because my brother did it. I'm really pretty good - I'm really smart. I already do several tricks - I can sit, shake paw, speak, roll over, sit pretty (it's the cutest sit up that you've ever seen) and are you ready for this... when mom points at me (like if she has a gun) and says "bang" I fall over on my side and play dead! It's a crowd pleaser! Anyway, I am perfect. I eat well, I've got the potty stuff almost 100%

under control - hardly ever goof that up anymore. All that and yes, I'm only 5 and a half months old. Oh, we lost our big sister Buffy in October. She was more than 15 and got sick - Mom says that she watches over Benson and me from her heaven. Mom says that you have a morkie girl available - YES, she still looks at the morkies available even though she knows that she can't get another... her lap isn't big enough for three of us! Well Mrs. Warren, that's all from me. My brother Benson wants to send you an important message - his might be long and scary - it WAS scary for all of us but everything is okay now. He'll tell you all about it. Thanks for getting me off to a good start and finding a great new mom, dad and brother for me. I'm really happy and they are too! If you ever hear from my litter brother that lives in Michigan, please give him my dogster page or email address - I have my own new brother now but I'd love to see what he looks like. From the day that mom saw his puppy picture and mine, she chose me but calls him Rascal. Might that be his REAL name? - she always calls him Rascal. Okay, all my best from Wisconsin. Keep up the good puppy work ;-)

hi terry! gus is doing great! my husband and i are buying a house so now he will have an even bigger yard to run around in! we finally broke down and are letting him sleep in bed with us at night, he loves to sleep right on top of our heads! we took him up to my parents house for thanksgiving. he had so much fun! he got to meet my brother and his new wife for the first time, and also my best friend and her 13 month old baby. my brothers wife and my best friend are not "dog people" but now they BOTH want a brussels griffon of their own!! gus did really well with the baby too, he was a little cautious at first, but then once he sniffed her he was great, very gentle! everyone who meets him is amazed at what a wonderful personality he has. we are so blessed to have him as part of our family! you do such a wonderful job raising and socializing your puppies!! i've attached a bunch of pictures that we've taken over the past couple of months. hope you enjoy them! jen & eric williamson

Hi Terry,

She's wonderful! At first Dazzle was jealous of her, but now they love each other. She is so playful and cuddly, we just love her. She doesn't like to be put in her pen, but she will learn to. Thanks so much. Kendra

(She, Daisy, is the little tri color Cavalier)

Hi Terry

Well after a long drive in the pouring rain yesterday we finally got the two babies to their new home. Oscar and Lucy. Oscar has quite the personality. Lucy being a bit quieter and calmer. Oscar is doing very good with Potty Training. I really don't think he has had an accident yet. Now on the other hand Lucy hasn't quite got it mastered yet. She hasn't peed in the floor yet but she had done her duty twice on the floor.. I am sending you a few pictures from today. Seems like they adjusted very well except Lucy isn't eating very much.. Did she eat the dry food very good? She is eating it but doesn't seem very fond of it.

Anyway we will stay in touch....Enjoy the pictures. Karen.

Hello Terry, I wanted you to have pictures of Guinness. He has been such a joy to have. He is SMART...and has been very easy to train. He has already been to obedience school and passed without difficulty. He loves being around other dogs, and loves people. He entertains himself with ALL toys....balls, stuffed toys, rattles, he even stole a race car from my nephew and that is his favorite. He has been absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much!

Hi Terry,
Yes, she has arrived. I would have wrote to you sooner today but everyone is so excited with her arrival. I have had to supervise the children with her and then try to get my fiancée' to let her stay in her cage even when she whines! She is just gorgeous. When Dennis got here, I couldn't believe how tiny she is. You were right about her just wanting to play. Almost until she falls out from being so tired. Thanks again Terry and it was a pleasure to do business with you. We hope to give Nya many happy years that I am sure she will give us. Thanks again and I will keep you posted on how she is doing.
Thanks Nicole

Hi Terry,

Claira is doing GREAT! She is adapting very well to our house already! She LOVES to go all the way down the hall from the laundry room and run across the floor so she slides across the room! It's really funny! Claira has been doing very well with her housebreaking! She uses the pads when she can't make it outside-we are actually very surprised at how well she is doing. Today, she tried to go in the snow.....it was up to her knees-it was almost as tall as her! Claira and Jack are beginning to get use to each other day by day. When Jack is in his kennel and she's out, she gets brave, goes up to his cage, and barks at him! He just whines back, so she keeps barking until she's had enough. She really gets into it after a while! Thank you for all your time, and thank you for making this whole thing possible. We really appreciate it...in a BIG,BIG WAY!

Hi Terry! Here's the pictures I told you I'd send of Andy. Everyone loves him! He's such a wonderful addition to the family. He's still adjusting to everything, but he seems very happy and he's extremely loving! We're so happy to have him. Of course, it's an adjustment because our three cats are so easy! Eli is helping us raise Andy. You'll see pictures of him laying with Andy. He gives him baths and blocks the stairs so he can't go up unless I'm up there. It's really funny.

Terry,

Here are just a few pictures that we took tonight as soon as Cooper got home. Two of the pictures are of the puppies with my niece and the other one is with me and the puppies. We are so happy to have him, and he is already getting along real well the the other puppies as well!!! I hope you enjoy these photo's as much as we enjoy having him here with us!!!

Thanks again, Jacque

Greetings, Terry!
    It’s been a little while, just wanted to send a new picture of Lexi taken yesterday at 7 mos, 4 days. She doesn’t really like the bow in her hair; it was just for show for the photo to send to our son, Nathan, who is at basic training in Fort Benning, GA now.
    She is still my darling angel, most days! She likes to sit on the arm of the loveseat and look out the picture window. PT remains to be an issue although improving. On those not such an angel days, you can catch her “striking the pose” and take her outside before she makes a mess, but when she gets outside she gets preoccupied with rooting for creepy crawly things or with the birds or with the neighbors to do what she’s supposed to do. You finally give up and go back in side and BAM, there she goes on the floor!
    I really can’t imagine being without her. I can’t wait to go home for lunch to see her, can’t wait to get home from work to see her. Heaven forbid that I should be home and she’s not there! (At the groomer’s or out for a walk with our daughter.) Anyway, she obviously is still the light of my life; I just wanted to share a new picture with you! God bless! Lori Palmer

Hi Terry,
Tinker Bell is an absolute doll. She is housebroken now. She was spayed about a month ago. Her little incision is only about an inch long. She weighs about 2 1/2 pounds. She is such a little devil. She always gets a treat after she goes potty, and if she goes and you don't see her, she will bark and growl at you until you give her a treat. Whenever my mom is ironing, she loves to untie her shoes to get her attention. My parents are in the processing of moving from the farm into a little house in town. I think the only reason they picked the house was because it had a fenced in back yard. However, she can squeeze through the chain link fence, so my dad had to put chicken wire all around the bottom. The neighbors have a huge dog, and she barks at him so Fiercely, you would think she weighed 100 pounds. She is definitely fearless! My mom said whenever she is putting dishes in the dishwasher, she jumps on the door and tries to lick the plates. Mom rocks her to sleep every night and puts her in her little bed, right next to her, of course! As you can see, she is spoiled rotten and they adore her! Thanks so much!

Hi Terry,
I just wanted to drop a note to say Thank you again for providing us with such a wonderful puppy. Zada is so smart and so sweet and she has been so easy to housetrain. We were without electricity for 8 days due to the storm so Zada went to stay with my Sister and brother-in-law. They did not want to give her back! J She is quite the charmer.

hi terry! thanks so much for calling the other night! Gus is doing really well! how are his brothers doing? he's been doing really well on housebreaking. we take him outside every 1-2 hours and he goes right over to the grass to do his business! he still isn't sure how to ask to go outside yet, but that will come! he's been eating pretty well too, we've spoiled him a little bit, he won't eat unless we sit on the floor with him. and he likes to eat the adult dog food for our other dog rather than his puppy food! we just want to make sure he eats enough! his akc papers were just sent in yesterday. his official name is: Le Petit Prince Gustav of Groton...or "Gus" for short. we've attached a couple of pictures, hope you like them! we'll send more soon! jen & eric williamson

Hi Terry,

Nicole absolutely loves the dog. She named him Buddy. She hasn't left him alone for a moment and he has a little balding spot where she keeps petting him. He truly appreciates every toy he has and there isn't enough time in the day to play with all of them. He likes to tease us by picking up a stick or a leaf in his mouth and when we bend down to get it out of his mouth he takes off running. He is eating very well and the people at the vets office love him already. He sleeps in my daughters room (in a kennel until he's trained). His potty training is a job, but as long as we stay consistent he'll be fine. He knows when he goes to the bathroom outside we are happy and when he goes in the house he knows that we aren't happy. It was so funny the other day, we were eating dinner and he trotted into our play room, he not only crapped but he did it on top of my daughters bean bag chair. He is just a joy to have and provides us with alot of entertainment. We even gave him a little bath last week and he didn't seem to mind. He learned quickly how to sit and to shake. Well that's all for now. I'll keep you posted with any new developements. Thank you so much again. Kim

Hi Terry,
Sorry it has taken me awhile to write to you but we’ve all been adjusting and I really wanted to send pictures, so I had to take the time to load them onto my computer. Our little Morkie, Harry is doing so well! We are so in love with him and he is such a sweet little guy. I was so surprised at how well he is potty training, I have heard all sorts of stories about how little dogs can be a nightmare to train, totally false, he has literally only had like 2 accidents, and that has been at night when we didn’t hear him jump off of the bed. So yes he is sleeping with us, he’s such a little cuddlier, I love it! He is very playful and has no fear, I have to admit I was somewhat concerned when I started looking online to purchase a puppy, but it is evident the care you have taken when raising these puppies. He came to us completely happy and well adjusted puppy, ready for us and our other dog. As you can see in one of the pictures, him and our black lab Larkin have really taken to each other, it is so cute, Harry will run up to Larkin, jump up and lick her face and bark at her, then Larkin will just open her mouth almost like, “come on in” he would fit. I guess that is all I have for now, I’ve included several pictures of Harry he goes absolutely everywhere with us and we have such a great time. I truly can’t thank you enough for out new little joy! I’ll keep you updated and send more pictures soon. Don’t forget to put them on your website so everyone can see how cute he is!!!
Thanks Terry,
Heather, George, Larkin & Harry

I just gave her a hug for you – she said to send one back… J
She has had a busy morning – she’s met everyone at my office and also some friends across campus…She is racked out! I bought a stuffed dog that has a button you push and it emits a heartbeat…I think it has helped her a lot. She is sleeping next to it right now…
The vet fell in love with her and said she was perfect… J Will send you updates! kc

Hi Terry –
Thought I would send you a few pictures of Gracie so you would know how well she is adjusting…She is so cute and we just love her to pieces…..But you were right, she is a STINKER! J She is getting more comfortable in her new environment every day and loves playing with my 7 year old Maltese, Cody. I’ll send more pictures as she grows.
Thanks for everything – she is the perfect fit for us! kc

Good morning Terry,
I just wanted to let you know how much we are already enjoying Sonny. We stopped at Hoxie on our way home Saturday to show my parents their new “grandson”, then stopped at Jonesboro at my sister’s and her husband’s so they could see their new nephew and introduce him to his cousin, Lexi (their Lhasa).
We introduced him to his new sister, Rudy (our cocker spaniel), and brother, Buddy (our cat). Buddy didn’t get too close to Sonny; I don’t think he knows what to think about him yet. Taz has called me 5 times already this morning to make sure he’s doing the right thing, and has had really good luck with taking him out to potty. We’ll send more pictures as he grows (like you did for us). Thank you so much for such a wonderful new addition to our family. Terri

Dear Terry,

Sorry we haven't written faster- we've been so busy with the new puppy! Rocco is doing amazing. He's so cute- everyone in New York runs over to us when we bring him out. We heard so much about how griffons are so hard to train, but Rocco has been fully paper trained and crate trained since the first week! He is learning his way around the city, and he loves to go shopping with us on the weekends and eat brunch at restaurants in Soho. He's the perfect blend of cuddly, playful, and mischievous, and he is by far the cutest griffon we have seen in New York! We're including pictures and we will send updates! thank you so much for Rocco- we absolutely LOVE him. Best, Alexis and Ben

Hi Terry. I can't believe we've had Baxter for 6 months already! He loves being around people, other dogs and going for rides in the car. He is a very quiet dog - he rarely barks. He is fitting perfectly into the family - we wouldn't trade him for anything!! He is between 8 - 9 pounds now at 8 1/2 months old. Here are some pictures. I included a couple pictures from awhile back - Wow has he changed!!
Thanks for everything!

Calvin, Tricia, Jansen and Shelby Keyes
