Hey Angela,
I hope you and your babies are doing well.  Your new addition,
Lyrae, is beautiful!  She has the cutest little face.  I took
Claudio and Max to the park a few days ago and they had so
much fun.  I took lots of pictures of them playing together.  I
will send you the pictures after I resize them.  Claudio is
growing so fast and he is so full of energy.  He likes to be the
center of attention and he wants to play with everyone he
meets.  I need to bring him over sometime and let you see him.
I know he would love to see you and the other furbabies.
Some of my cousin's friends were asking where I got Claudio
because they have been looking for a Shih-tzu.  I told them all
about you and they were wanting to know if you had any babies
coming soon.   Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey, this is Lauren from Virginia, Sophie's mom.  Thank you so much for
her birthday card, I just can't believe she is already one.  Sorry it took
so long for me to e-mail you about her. She is such a great dog and is
extremely smart!  She has the broadest vocabulary! Sophie is so very
spoiled by all of us here in Virginia. I have attached some pictures of
her.  Keep in touch!
God Bless,
Lauren Joy
Angela –Hello!!  How are you?  I just got your card – my mom had it in a stack of mail for me that I just got around
to looking at – I am so sorry I haven’t been in touch!!  I named Peter Bennett – after a character in Jane Austen’s
novel – Emma was a character and now we have two!!  I got all his hair cut off to where he looks like emma and
he is the CUTEST thing in the world!!  He has so much personality and really has been a perfect match for
emma.  My best friend has a shih-Tzu and we went over there last night and my two are SO much better behaved
than hers – in fact they are also a lot prettier!!!  I really could not be happier and I can not stress how thankful I
am to you for them.  How is Norfolk ?  I know it has to be hard being that far from home.  I move in to school this
weekend but after that I should get settled enough to take some pictures of them and when I do I’ll definitely send
some your way!!  I am actually looking for a pet photographer in the Raleigh area – maybe for Christmas!!
Ok well I hope things are going well for your family and hope to hear from you soon!! Thank you!!

Hey Angela! Hope you and your family had a wonderful
Christmas! Mia and Max loved their Christmas card :) I had hoped
to send out a Christmas card with their picture on it, but 'tis the
season...it didn't happen.  So, here's the next best thing...Enjoy!!!
Everyone is doing well...Max is such a good boy...so cute and
loves attention!  How are your babies? Any new puppies yet?
Take care, Allison
Hi Angela,
Thank you so much for the beautiful ornament!  I love it and it will always be a sweet
reminder of my grandma.  It will look so nice on our Christmas tree.  That was so
thoughtful of you!  
I love the calendars!  You did a great job with it!  All the babies look so adorable.  Thank
you for all the great pictures you put in the calendar of Gizmo and Gidget.  Your love for
your furbabies and what you do certainly shines through in all that do for them and their
owners.  
Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!  
Sincerely,
Rachelle  
Angela, I think Ares is perfect!  I can't believe you are doing this for us.  I told my aunt and her
tears, though they flowed readily were tears of joy.  I just can't believe how gracious you all are.
This disease is very painful and slow in it's progress, but my niece always says "if aunt doree
(my mom) can do it, so can I." She's so strong.  I can't begin to express my gratitude to you and
what you are doing for us.  From a solider who has seen her share of bad times and evil people,
it is nice to know that a family like you and yours are who we are fighting for and it makes us all
the more proud of the missions we have been given.  From my family, and the crew of my old
ship the USNS YUKON, and the countless numbers of soldiers who have lost faith in the what we
are fighting for THANK YOU!, and may GOD forever bless you and your family. The baby and
Jamie are doing excellent!!!!!  She named him Aiden Cruz and you would think he's been with
her since day one.  We are compiling some special pics for you of him with her and the family,
and will have those out soon. They are on their way to VA Beach today so Aiden can meet his
new cousins, Jordie and Gracie. Their dad Jamie's brother Tim, married a sweet little Italian girl
named Sue and they live in Malta, but flew out to see Jamie and her baby, and to let us meet
our new addition, their little girl Gracie.  She was born in early December.  So even though we
have lost so much in our family, GOD and you have added more life than ever.  We can't thank
you enough.  I hope you are fairing well after the lost of your grandmother.  Amanda.
Angela, here is something else to smile at, our Cain.  When I water the flowers in our
garden, Cain pulls on the hose as if he is helping me do the watering.  One day I laid
the hose down so my husband could roll it up.  Cain picked it up and started shaking
it, and it pointed straight at Pop, it looked just like he was trying to spray him, the
water was on so he did have to start jumping out of the way, so he would not get
sprayed.  That is when we needed a video camera, maybe we could have won a prize.
The vet told my husband that Cain does not need to eat table food, but that raw
carrots are good for him instead of doggie treats.  So last night, I went to the grocery
store and when I got back, Cain started sniffing in all the bags for his carrots.  I
forgot them, so I went back to the store for them.  He does a little dance for a carrot
treat.  Hope this makes you laugh again,
Sincerely,  Pop and Mimi
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know Jax (aka Thunder) is
doing great!  He is really at home here and gets soooo much love
...sometimes I worry that he'll never really learn to walk he gets carried
so much!!!  He and our big dog Clemson are getting along just fine,
Clem has taught him who the numero uno dog is and Jax has gone
along with it well.  He went to PA with us over Xmas and met all his
grandparents (and my parents 20lb cat) that was interesting, but again,
Jax handled it all in stride.  He is a great little puppy and a nice addition
to our family.     Katy
Hey  Angela,  So sorry I  have been out of touch! Just finally got around to hook up my computer. We have been so busy
since we moved in June!Holly is doing great!! She is such a big girl now. She is such a joy. So different from Boots. But
they are perfect together. They just have very different personalities. Both as sweet as can be! Holly is very cuddle and
stays under my feet 24/7 which I love so much.  Sleeps right beside me. She is my baby girl all the way!  Boots has
always slept at the foot of the bed and only cuddles for so long! When Ron and Donnie are home he wants to always be
with them! I will send pictures soon! That is another thing I need to catch up on!Hope all is well your way!!! Can't wait to
hear about the new puppies!How is the black puppy? He is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!!!!!Talk to you
soon!Thanks again for breeding such sweet puppies. I love my 2 so much!!!!Renee
Hi Angela, Cocoa is doing great!  It was really rough the first night, but I think he
missed his family.  The second night we put a fuzzy slipper in the bed with him and
that felt like his brothers and sister so that made him feel better and he slept the
whole night.  I was so glad.  It's been great ever since.  Yesterday after the rain, he
went out for a walk for the first time.  He slowly got use to the idea.  Now he is an
old pro.  I will send pictures by the end of the week.  Thanks for your pictures, I will
add them to his photo book.  Keyla
