Here is what Daphne has been up to.  She was adopted from our shelter by a couple from California.










Mack
--Mack is doing great!!!!!!! He thinks he is a lap dog but that's fine with me lol..... He loves going for car rides with us.... He loves the kids..... He is learning that he is a big dog and to be gentle with the kids.   He has been a wonderful pet.

Muggy
--Hello Everyone-
I am writing you to update you on how I am doing!!  It has been 2 1/2 years since you have found me my forever home.  I am doing wonderful, I have  a loving home that I am so happy in.  I have a sister named Chloe who is a pitbull mix, I have two little girls who love me very much, and my mom and dad who spoil me rotten!  I also get to do all my favorite things like run around the yard and go for long walks I have lots of toys and my own place on the end of my owner's bed.  I want to thank you so much for finding the perfect forever home that I deserved.  You will always be so special to me and I am forever greatful.
 
Love Always and Forever
 
Muggy

Chopper--I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS DOG!!!! He is just the best boy!!  The cats, for the most part, are adjusting well. My shy kitties are having a hard time, but I am thinking of ways to make sure they are coming out to eat & get some mommy time. :-)

I had my parents meet him on Christmas Eve.  Having no idea I was adopting Chopper, they were shocked & a little upset-I do have five cats, after all.... Literally after about six minutes after they met him, my dad asked if I thought Chopper would like going to the cabin with him.

He spent Christmas day at my parents' house. He was the the best Christmas boy!! He loves my dad, and my dad loves him, but that could be said for everyone.  He made the rounds and got pets & kisses from everyone.  Even my brother, who was skeptical about Chopper being a "pit bull," was laying on the floor petting & kissing him by the end of the night. 
 
I hope this email finds you well, and that both you & your families had a wonderful holiday and the new year brings health, happiness and many pet adoptions!

Spooner--Attached are pictures of our puppy, Spooner.  We love her so much!

She went to puppy kindergarten and was top in the class for learning tricks, yet she was one of the most aggressive as far as playing with the other puppies.  She loves to play!  She loves kids, too!  She’s just kind of crazy yet.

Bella
--Sorry it's taken me so long to update you on Flower.
 
On our way back to Minnesota w/our new bundle, I renamed her Bella, my husband calls her Furball. She's so sweet/friendly, she even puts up with the grand kids.
 
Since she was spayed last month, she no longer has  accidents outside her litterbox, so she now has the run of the house, she's loving it!! When we are home her cage door is open for her to go in/out as she wants. She loves running down the hallway and back, and everywhere in between. From all her running she now weighs a little over 3 lbs.
 
In the morning, when I'm in the kitchen she will usually come running to me for her slice of banana, her favorite treat!
 
We're so happy we have her as part of our family, she brings us alot of joy & amusement.
 
Keep up your good work w/all the animals you care for, have a great day!
 
Sincerely,
 
Shari Roberts




Nara---I adopted a little Manx girl from WCAHS a few weeks ago and I just wanted to follow up and say thank you. We ended up naming her Nara (like Narnia, minus the N & I). Nara has fit right in and become a great addition to our household. Whenever our other cat Henry is awake and about she is right there with him and he hasn’t minded one bit (unless her kitten energy gets a bit exasperating…but he lets her know). Whether they are playing or just hanging out, they seem quite happy and content with each other.

 

Our Golden/Lab mix has been very patient with Nara as she is still a bit intimidated with his 80+lbs size. Thankfully our dog Oliver has the temperament of a Golden and has been very patient and gentle with her…even though she takes every advantage to pounce on his tail. She seems very relaxed and can walk right up and even sit by him until he turns his head to look at or sniff her. She has been getting better every day and I am sure they will eventually become good friends. Then she will have two boys to play with as Oliver would love to join in the fun and play with her and Henry.

 

At Nara’s last vet appointment a week ago or so for her distemper shot they informed me that she is up to 2.98lbs. Nara is a foodaholic. Nara will attempt to eat anyone’s food if you let her. She could be sound asleep and you put any food down on a dish and she’s there in the blink of an eye. It’s become a bit of a comedy here to feed her and Henry. Nara eats upstairs and Henry down, and she will ‘inhale’ hers and then run down to eat his too. It’s been interesting and fun thinking of new ways to keep her preoccupied so he can eat. Nara doesn’t miss a beat and can run like the wind when food in involved. It can be quite comical at times.

 

In any event, I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you and let you know that all is well with her.


Sincerely,

Erin R. Hinderks





Update on Emma--

She is doing well. She is very energetic and is getting along fine with Mr Wiggles! We love her very much.
Thanks Penny,

Cilena and Dan








Hi it is Me Benson,
I am attaching a picture to let you see that I am doing well.  I am completely housebroken, I understand that I must use my manners but that isn’t something I always do well.  I am currently working on my boundaries and staying within my property lines outside--this is only for short periods of time because I tend to get pre-occupied with a bird flying over and forget that I need to obey my house rules.  I have learned how to sleep in a people bed, although for being such a large dog my masters still have to boost my butt onto the bed!  My brother from a different mother and I are best of friends and play all day long. It's been great for both of us but we are worn out at the end of the day.  My parents have a pond but I am still very timid around the water (Yeh-I am part Labrador but I was never swimming before.) I do get my feet wet but with time I think I will warm up to the idea, especially with my brother swimming every chance he gets. 
My mom wanted to let you know that she loves me very much and I make her laugh each and everyday with my antics. I play with everything.  
 
I promise to keep in touch!
Love Benson
