Hi Barb,

I am just writing to tell you how Aldous is doing....... he is lovable, and rotten and absolutely a joy to have around. Puppies really test your patience, hahah. Potty training is going well.....6 days accident free!!!

I hope you enjoy some of the pictures. They get so big too fast!

April 13, 2013
Good morning and happy Saturday to both of you...I have been telling Eric for the past several weeks I wanted to get a note to you...but trying
to get a good picture of our little wiggly girl is not always an easy task...Vienna is the cutest girl we could have ever imagined. She loves everyone and we laugh at her every day. She has become a part of our family so that we can't remember not having her, as she rules everything - we tell each other every day how much we love her. She gets so excited when anyone comes home and has a difficult time holding her excitement when her "siblings" come over. Today will be her last visit to the vet for shots and she was up to just over four pounds three weeks ago - she appears to have grown over night, so her weight should be up quite a bit. She is a quick student, although she went through a weird set back last week for a few days and came out of it better than ever - she is becoming independent in her play and has decided her bed is an okay place to hang out and play. We have spent a lot of time teaching her to go outside and have had very few accidents in the house. She is doing great during the day in her enclosure, although every day is difficult to leave her while we are getting back to work. She loves to play and she thinks ponytails are the very best play toy invented! We have only heard her little bark a few times - it's raspy and only happens when she is very startled...we definitely don't have a vocal puppy! She is still able to let us know what she wants and she is great at letting us know that she wants outside, which she loves in all weather!!
I apologize for being lax in getting anything to you and have enclosed some pics of our little princess!!!
Cheers...

Hi Barb & Don!
Just wanted to let you know that Tubbs
is adjusting well to his new home. He 
is eating dry food, playing hard & 
sleeping sound! He had an excellent 
vet visit & is currently weighing in 
at 3.9 pounds. He is such a joy!
Below is a picture of Tubbs 
(action shot, mid hop!) playing 
with his big sister, Belle. 
Thank you!

Hi Barb!

Tubbs is quite a character! He has so much personality. We absolutely love him! He is up to 5lbs 8oz as of his vet visit last week. He is playing wonderfully with our beagle, Belle, and goes to the back door when he needs to go outside (we haven't had an accident in the house for a little while now)! No problems eating and he has started enjoying walks. He has been such a perfect fit & wonderful addition to the family. I will send some updated pics soon!

Pippa went home with Bev & Will	Stanley went home with Gene and Carla and his "brother" Gilbert who was adopted from us 3 years ago.	Sofie went home with Dave, Amy and Payton.

Hi Barb,

We've had a few sleepless nights, but things seem to be progressing. Stanley is VERY smart, and except for one accident, has been going outside to use the bathroom, whining at the patio door when he wants to go out. We've had two nights now, where he's slept all night even! Gilbert has been very good to Stanley, but sometimes by the end of the day, he wants a break. lol Here's a few pictures!

We're loving our new addition. Just hoping the weather has improved and we can do more playing outside!

Hi Barb! Just wanted you to know Sofie is adjusted quite well. She is going potty outside with only a few poop accidents inside and I think she is already very spoiled! Doesn't like to be alone or out of my sight for very long.....I think I may have done that! She is at work with me today and so far so good. Here's a picture of her hard at work today!
Thanks again for the great addition to our family!


Ani went home with Ben, Liz and family.	Louie went home with Pam and her family. Louie will get to play with his grandmother, Cookie, who was adopted by Pam's parents.	Pup Drogo went home with Dan and Bri	Remmy went home with Anna and her family.

Hello Barb and Don-
I think I am in L-O-V-E! With Remmy! He is such a great dog. Very playful and smart. I have only heard him bark a few times. He does whine every now and then. He enjoys walks and has made a few dog friends in the neighborhood. He's very loving to my family but can be shy around other people.
Good news- he sleeps the entire night through! That makes me so happy (the first week or so he was up every three hours; I am glad that didn't last long). More good news, he hasn't had an accident inside in over a week! We have really been trying to stick to a feeding and potty schedule. I am glad my sisters are home to help with this. Also, we have started to train him to sit. It takes him a minute or two to understand what we trying to get him to do, but he will do it.
I would send you a picture but it's so hard to get Remmy to sit still, he is always going! Instead, I think I will send you a video soon! Hope all your other pups are doing well!

I just wanted to keep you all updated with how much fun we're having (and this time give you pictures and videos)! Drogo is a blast! I took him to visit my parents today and he started with some playtime with his cousin Apple, who is much too fast for him! Then we visited the neighbors across the street who have two beautiful cocker spaniels. Drogo was extremely playful and had so much fun with them all! He loved meeting everyone, and though he was a little timid at first, warmed up quickly and had a great day full of play and sunshine. Any time he felt a little uneasy, he just came back to my lap for a breather and then went back in to play with his new friends!

Everyone that has met him has commented on how beautiful of a puppy he is, and most didn't even know dachshunds could be have his markings! He certainly is one of a kind!

Drogo is doing great. I've been taking him to visit his cousin Apple on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, my days off. He loves it! He gets to romp around all day, and he's tired by the time he gets home, so Bri and I get to sleep. He's getting more and more curious, sniffing around everything, and he's just recently been noticing things far away and watching them. It's fun to watch him discover the world around him! He's learning that outside is for potty, and even goes and lays down by the door when it is time to go and we haven't taken him out yet! The whole potty training process has been more of us learning his rhythm than him learning us! Our families have all gotten to know him and enjoy their time spent with him.

He has a couple peculiar habits that are very strange, too! We call him our little parrot sometimes, because he likes to sit on your shoulders! He also talks back, and just recently we discovered that putting a blanket over his crate at night causes him to go to sleep without putting up a fuss! He's our little bird dog!

Barb,

Pup Drogo is doing well! We've been taking lots of pictures, and I'll include a few of them for you all to see! His eyes seem to have stopped changing colors, and he has 3/4 brown and 1/4 blue in both eyes! We are complimented everywhere we go on how beautiful and cute he is, and he has such a playful and outgoing personality. He has greeted every new person with lots of kisses and playfulness! He received a couple of his vaccinations a couple of weeks ago (which he definitely did not enjoy), so now he is allowed to play with other dogs in the dog park. He still thinks he has to be in his 'spot' to potty, which is just outside of the dog park, but I'd much rather him claim a spot outside the house than inside! We've sectioned off a small area of the living room with a puppy fence and placed his toys and crate in it for the times when we are not home, and he is doing well with it while we are gone, and he is allowed out when we are in the living room with him and able to keep an eye on him to keep him out of trouble!

He is currently working hard on learning to walk with a loose leash. We are walking back and forth to the dog park, and he just can't handle his excitement when he gets close to home! We went on about a half mile walk with my sister's dog, Apple, and he was completely worn out afterwards! I got a picture of him right after he got a drink, and included it below. He had real good sleep that day!

For our next pup, we need to probably hold off until next spring, similar to the time we adopted Drogo. I want to be sure we're fully trained with one pup before taking on another one.

Thanks for the Updates!

Dan and Bri

Barb & Don,
Here are some pics I recently took of Sheldon. He has
adjusted will with us. We love this lil booger so much,
he is a joy to watch play with his toys and attack his
bed & crate. Crate & potty training is going really good.
We have had a few accidents in the house, he is starting
to go by the door when he has to go and he will look at
you like he is saying "hey I have to go potty hurry up I
can't hold it long yet". He is so funny. He goes to 
Carter Vet on Aug 23, at 11. If you will be available
at that time will can come by to see you. If not we can
plan another time. I know you have more babies born and 
babies going home. 

Thank you Again Barb & Don for our wonderful lil baby boy.

Hello
Just wanted to take a minute and let you 
know Oskar is doing great. He is adjusting 
well to his new home.   Him and Dee Dee

Here are a few pics for you.

Hi Barb & Don,

I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how well Gus is doing. The 1st night was a little rough. He was scared. Gabi was too excited and wouldn't leave him alone. We had to separate them. The second day.... they totally bonded. Gus follows Gabi everywhere. She is so patient with him. I'm so proud of how well she is doing. They've even slept together. Gus loves the backyard. He eats like a champ. He gives kisses. He's got the sharpest teeth ever. LOL! He sleeps all night. He fits in perfectly! Thank you so much for him and all of your advise. He's a keeper!!! We love him to pieces! I've attached a few pics of him. We will keep in touch.

Dawn, Steve, Danny, Gabi & Gus

Hi Barb and Don,

Just wanted to send you a quick email and let you know Linus is doing great! I (Chelsea) was the most nervous about 
how Lulu would react to a new baby but she LOVES him! She herds him around and watches out for him.  She's going
to really love it when he's big and can keep up with her. He's doing great on potty training too! You were right about him
being a baby. He cries when we put him in his crate and loves to be held, he's well on his way to being a momma's boy!
Everyone loves him and he fits right in! We attached a couple pictures for you!
Thanks again!
Chelsea & Ross

Hi Barb!
An update on Moxie, The last couple of nights she has gotten up at 4am and been wide awake. I fed her, took her outside potty, and then she runs around like a crazy loon! lol She chases Ronnie around and bites at his feet, ears and tail. The poor guy just doesn't know what to do with her. He finally just rolls over onto his back in submission, it's hilarious. If she makes any crying noises, the dogs get very concerned, and boy is her crying PITIFUL. Last night she ran round the house for 2 straight hours, hippity hopping around playing with everybody and everything. I was hopefull that it would wear her out. Hope obviously springs eternal at my house! We so love her to bits and more, I cried all the way to work today cause I had to leave her.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Hi Barb!
Moxie had her vet visit today. She is at 1lb 9oz! She barked and growled at a big dog that came near me at the vets office. At first I thought it was someone's ringtone because it didn't sound real! lol
Thanks
Rosalynne
