Dear Julie,

 

I wanted to send you a little update on Heidi as it has been almost seven months since I brought her home.  

 

I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have such a wonderful little dog in my life – she is everything I had hoped for and so much more.  She is happy, healthy, funny, terribly mischievous, very clever and the most loving and devoted companion to me.  My family is completely smitten with her as well.  She is eager to meet and greet everyone, human and dog, and is very intuitive when it comes to avoiding dogs that are not receptive.  She loves her play time at the local park with the “regulars” – her nickname is Tuffy, because she is a little firecracker when tousling with the other dogs.  She and I go on long walks together everyday to the local parks -- she loves to chase the squirrels and explore.

 

She is no longer a toffee colour but a blonde/apricot and her hair is soft with a loose curl.  She is quite small, long legged and fine-boned; when I had her spayed at seven months in early November she weighed only 14 lbs.   I have attached two photos of her and also a link (at the bottom of this email) to a video Peggy made of Heidi and Andy playing together (they are best buddies – we often wonder, do they know they are related?).

 

I want to thank you again for such a beautiful puppy; she is absolutely the love of my life!

 

Wishing you & your family, 

A Very Happy New Year!

Oh Julie, we are loving these puppies!

They are sweet and insanely cute!

Unfortunately, Kim's puppy is going home today. Their dog pen should be arriving today, so they will be nicely set up also. (If I could sabotage their doggy pen delivery, I would, and we could then bonus another day with their pup!!) 

:)

Luke came to spend the day with his puppy yesterday. He is pretty excited!

The puppies are doing great at using their pee target (same method you use) They use it most of the time, though Sophie did pee on a blanket instead this morning! Over all, I think they are doing exceptionally well. They even stopped rough housing yesterday to go pee! Woohoo!

Sophie is quite small compared to her 'cousin'. (I think they are calling her peeko)

We cleared a loop through the back yard, so they are even getting play time in the snow! Sophie has little socks (how undignified!) but it allows her to spend a bit more time out there. They are hilarious together! They will bounce through the deeper snow also! Great puppy workout!

 

My only regret is not getting TWO pups... so if there is a little girl that isn't picked up, pls let me know!!
