Hey,

   Just wanted to tell you that we LOVE RJ.  We changed his name to Barnaby Norbert but we call him Beansie.  He loves our son, Jude, who's 2 1/2.  He warmed up to him right away.  He's so playful and friendly, but also cuddly (of course we've only had him for a few hours).  Our camera is dead right now, but we'll send pics when it's charged.  John was so nice!  We really liked him.  It's been a pleasure corresponding!

   Warmly,

   Rachel

   Hey Guys,

   We wanted to tell you that things are going GREAT with Beansie/RJ.  You were right -- our son got a timeout this morning and Beansie followed him right in.  I tried to get Beansie out of his room, but he stuck right by Jude's side!  He also slept with Jude last night for nap and bedtime.  Hopefully that will help Jude  stay in his big boy bed!  He is very playful and sweet!  He's smart, too.  He already comes when we call him "Beansie" and he especially listens to our son.  He found his cage right away and will relax in there from time to time, but does NOT like to be locked in.  He cries and cries.  That's to be expected.  It's okay, because we really don't need to lock him in very often.  He had one little accident, but it was right by the door and so he's got the right idea.  My husband has always been a big-breed dog person (thus the Great Dane) but he says he loves having Beansie curled up in his lap.  It's like he can't get close enough to us.  He wants to nuzzle up right up to our necks!  We also noticed that he's good at begging.  He sits very politely and stares up with his big beautiful eyes hoping for a little morsel.

   We're crazy about him.  My husband says, "Beansie fever!"

   Just wanted to let you know that Peanut finally arrived after an hour and a half delay, safe and sound.  He was a little nervous at first to come out of his crate, but once he came out he was happy!  He laid on Gianna’s lap the whole way home & is eating his dinner now.

   He is just adorable & seems to be adjusting well.

   I’ll e-mail you after the vet visit tomorrow.

   Hi Sheryl...

   Moritz is doing very well, has fit in with the others.  I also have a Blenheim female her same age and a Ruby just a little older.  They all sleep together.  I'm trying to figure out how to show all three girls at the same time...I need more arms and legs to be in the ring at the same time.   So I will be putting all my time into little Moritz to show first, hopefully later this year at 6 months old.

   Thanks again, she is so precious!!!!!

   Hi, Sheryl,

   I just got Muffins registration papers, I will send it off soon!!!  Just something for you to think about- Rick and I would like to get Muffin a play mate, another female possible a blenheim.

   Maybe one of yours that will retire?  I don't know if you offer that sort of thing, or an older one,

   over six months for sure. Please let me know.  Muffin is sooo BEAUTIFUL and full of LOVE!!!!

   thanks -natalie

    So sorry it's been so long since I've communicated about Grant. Right after he arrived, I ran a relatives diner for a week and then both our farms sold. We began the slow process of moving all the farm equipment and household furniture, etc. We relocated from NW WA. to Eastern WA. Somewhere along the way I misplaced his papers and haven't been able to get on-line. His papers may still be in a box in storage, but I'm not too worried about it.

   He's growing well and doing great.  He's been checked very thoroughly.  He's never acted sick and has been just as playful as ever. He's the perfect little guy for me.

   Hope you're all well,

   Sandra

   Hello. we are very appreciative of the information that you have sent.

   Tonight has been wonderful. Luke has just totally come alive. He has

   even put our Alpha Queen in her place a few times. He ate a

   full dish of food himself and has been a joy. Thanks for the encouraging

   words. We are just loving these guys and having so many laughs just

   watching them. They have a full wall mirror in their room and they are

   just so funny thinking there are many puppies in the room with them. My

   hope is that tomorrow is even better....

   will send more updates in the morning. thanks for the blessings. Donna

   Hi Sheryl!

    I hope you are doing well.  I just wanted to give you and your family an update on Princess and Baxter.  They are wonderful!  Everything seems to be going so well and we have zero regrets on getting both of them at the same time.  They really enjoy being around each other, well most of the time.  Princess is quite the little aggressive puppy, although Baxter is no saint either!  J  I don’t think I have ever heard one puppy growl and play so much.  We got them both a bed for each of them and sometimes they sleep together and sometimes they don’t.  When we are gone during the day we keep them in our master bathroom, which is actually quite big and gives them enough space to run around a little bit. 

    Baxter absolutely loves to be outside.  I have never seen a puppy run as fast as he can run (unless of course Princess is running from him when he chases her).  Speaking on Princess, she truly lives up to her name.  She is such a little prima-donna.  I thought she was going to be my “lap dog” but she doesn’t sit still long enough for her to lie in our laps.  Baxter seems to be calmer in the house.  He likes to snuggle up in your arms and just fall asleep. 

    As for Cooper, our older big dog – he seems to be transitioning okay.  He doesn’t really play with them too much b/c when he does they get a little scared.  But, Princess LOVES him.  She follows him everywhere in the house and in the backyard.  She’ll try to get as close to him as possible and then she rolls over on to her back in hopes that he will give her a good sniff.  He doesn’t, so she keeps trying.  It’s really cute – up until Cooper has to tell her whose boss.  We have to watch the two of them so Princess doesn’t get into Cooper’s things (water bowl, bone, etc).  He’s not been real keen in those situations. 

    I’ll send pictures soon.  By the way, I can’t wait to see pictures of the white puppy with just a spot on his ear.  That sounds adorable!

   Hi Sheryl,

   Buddy is doing great!  He wore himself out playing and getting to know the family. He has taken a particular liking to our 4 year old!  We absolutely love him! Thank you for everything you have done to make him such a healthy and loving pup!  I had a question about ear drop medicine. John mentioned that once a week you use drops to prevent ear mites. Could you tell me the brand name you like and if you order it from Medicine Chest? I really appreciate the transition dog food, book, and toys as well as the informative folder. Thanks again for everything!

   Fondly,

   Paige

   Dear Sheryl and John,  I wanted to write and let you know that little Dixie is doing fabulously!  She has adjusted well and loves everyone as you said she would.  She is expecially gleeful when the children come to visit; she simply adores them and they her.  Dixie is a joy and a blessing for our family.  I wanted you to know as I'm sure you have been thinking about her and wondering.  I hope you and your loved ones are well and thank you so much for connecting us with this precious little puppy.  I'll send you some pictures of her soon.  Warmly, Susan

   Later...

   Dear Sheryl,

   We are enjoying Dixie Jolie (French for pretty) so very much.  She is thriving and we are training her to be a therapy dog.  These little Cavaliers are so well suited for that given their temperament and size.  Jolie, as we call her, has been spayed and we would like to send you the spaying papers as per our arrangement upon purchase in exchange for her registration papers.  Would you like for me to fax the papers to you or scan and send them by email?  As I promised, I will also scan and send some pictures of her.  I hope you and yours are doing well.  I've given your website to several people who are looking for Cavaliers.  I look forward to hearing from you.

   Warmly, Susan

   Just a short update on our beautiful Jake.  He has become a part of the family.  He is eating great and does he love to play.  Of course, Ann has made sure that he has one of every toy.  He loves them all.

   Jake has been waking up only once during the night, about three AM.  I take him out on the grass and then he sleeps till 0630 or 0700.  We think that this is just great.

   His Vet visit went very well.  They made copies of the documents you gave me and started his dosier.  We have another appointment on the 15th of June for another check up.  He's really fine.

   He loves us and we love him.  Spends all of his time with either Ann or I.  The neibors all think that he is the cutest thing they have ever seen.  He has met them by riding around with me on the golf cart.

   Well that's all for now.  Jake is a happy camper.

   Hey John and Sheryl,

   Just wanted to let you know that we are all home safe and sound and Ray is currently being kissed and nibbled on.  Maybe we should consider calling him nibbles instead.....I have started to take pictures I will forward some soon.  We are very pleased with Peyton and want to thank you for all of your help.  Talk to you soon.

   Margaret & Ray

   Later...

   Peyton is doing very well and is getting ready to graduate on July 30th from puppy class.  Chewy our other dog has not been feeling well and he is doing a great job snuggling him and make sure he is o.k.  He loves to play and play hard.  I am not sure that he has really reached the "puppy uglies" he looks great to me, but I have an untrained eye....Give us a call when you get a chance and we will discuss Houston a little further.

   We are very pleased with Peyton even if he is missing one of his family jewels...

   Talk to you soon.  God Bless

   Hi, John and Sheryl…

   Just to let you know that Jazzy is doing great!  We love him!  He was so sweet the whole ride home.  When we introduced him to our dogs, he seemed really happy to see them, and was wagging his tail so much.  Our older dogs are not sure what to make of him == but they sure kept him company last night!  He went through the night without a problem – no howling or whining.  He seems to be right at home.

   He is eating like a champ!  And so far, no accidents in the house – he goes right to his mat (and we’ve been taking him outside a bunch).

   He is a great little snuggler, but a bit of an ear nipper!  And he smells soo sweet!

   I will send some photos soon…

    Thanks for raising such a great pup!  We just adore him.

    All our best,

   Amber, Michael, Lauren & Jeff

   Copper has been doing so great since we picked him up.   The first two days were a little crazy because it seemed his mind was so confused at everything that was going on.  He is now

   listening very well to us and going to the potty OUTSIDE!!!  That is such a big accomplishment!  At first I would go outside with him for 30-45 minutes going back and forth to grass and the back porch and he would not go potty and then as soon as we walked in the door he would go on the floor.  But he is doing good!  He loves his big brother (Bogie).  He loves to play with his ears and they run around chasing each other in the back yard.  It is just so cute!  He is also getting used to Jeron and I, and just loves to give kisses.  We just love him so much and want to thank you guys so much for everything.

   Hannah continuues to capture our hearts, She is quite the little

   puppy. In a weeks time she has really grown. I wanted to keep her little,

   but I have to feed her (smile). She loves to play with our Gracie who is 8

   mo. I'm trying to decide on the name for her registration. Thanks again.

   Hi Sheryl, Long time. Hope all is well with you and the family. Wanted to let you know Hannah just finished 4 weeks of clicker training. She was remarkable. Smart. Her coat is getting beautifull. She is working on her Canine Good Citizen. We love her so. Do you have any recent pics of her mom (Jewel). I notice she looks alot like her granddam from the pics on your website. Take care and write when you get a minute. Love Susanne

   Hi

   Took Darci to the vet and everything went good. Heart and lungs sounded good.  She is tucked in for the night as I soon will be too. Two more calves today and even colder temperatures tonight, so another long day. Darci is such a quiet puppy. Three of our nine grandchildren came to see her tonight, she played for a while and then went to her bed and went to sleep. They have a ruby CKCS, and our daughter has two and they love them. They are so easy to get attached to as Darci just about has my husband wrapped around her paw!!!! Well gotta go, but will send pictures as soon as calving slows down.

   Hi Sheryl and John!

   Just wanted to let you know that Buzz a.k.a. "Ian" is doing great!  We are so thrilled to have him with us!  I could not have asked for a sweeter, cuter puppy. Thank you for giving him to us.  We are lucky to have

   him!

   Also, we took him to the vet Sat. morning.  She said also that he is a very healthy and nice looking

   Cavalier.

   I will send you pictures of Buzz with his new family

   soon!

   Thanks!

   Hi,

   We thought you might like a little update on Rudi.

   Rudi loves to run, and chase balls.  We have an enclosed area in front of our garages that is paved, and also has some grass and a couple of trees.  We let Rudi out there under supervision and watch him run circles until he finally tires and lays down.  He is learning the sit command, and we are working on stay.  He gets a little anxious knowing I have a treat in my hand.  He generally "goes" outside, but if we miss his signals, we find a surprise by the door occaisionally.

   He seems to have bonded with us very well, but if we are both present, he clearly prefers Natalie.  She feeds him the "sausage" for dinner.  I only give him dry food in the morning.

   He is a very busy boy, and fills our house.  We are so thrilled to have him with us.

   Natalie, Alan & Rudi

   Later...

   All continues to go well with "Rudi the Rocket."  He is a very busy boy, running at breakneck speed until he get tired, and then he takes a nap wherever he happens to be at the moment.  We are really having fun.  He is so loveable.

   Hello,

   Eli's check-up w/ the vet went well he passed with

   flyin colors.

   He has quite the

   appetite for a little guy. He's having a great time,

   we play a lot together and he loves to snuggle. He's a

   little ball of energy sometimes, but i think i do a

   good job of keeping up. He's so cute when he eats, he

   gets the tips of his ears in the food, not to mention

   food all over his little face.

   I will send you some pictures in the next couple of

   days, but he doesn't look too much different... :)

   cute as can be still. That's all that's really going

   on right now, just me and Eli hanging out. He's a

   great pup, and we're having a great time.

   Talk to you soon.

   He's arrived - and is beautiful!

   I picked him up about 2 hours ago and brought him home. He was a little

   nervous but is sniffing his way around working things out. He's already

   worked out how to get into the back yard to do his business and perked up a

   great deal once that was resolved :)

   The paperwork is all in order so no problems there. As soon as he's settled

   I'll send you a picture of him in his new home. Thanks!

   Greetings from us both in Ohio! Gibson is doing well, though I think a

   little shocked at the cooler weather.... one morning I got up to take him

   for a walk and his normal happy face disappeared when he got a blast of the

   chilly air ... he even wimpered when we went outside but seems to be

   adjusting to it now. He loves to try and chase the squirrels - but only when

   they are safely up a tree out of reach. I cant imagine life without him now

   and he is even getting cuddles on the bed in the morning and last thing at

   night - something I had always said would never happen :).

   best wishes

   She has lots of energy and is so fun to watch.  She is sitting in my lap, chewing one of the chewies you gave us.  ...She is such a joy!  We adore her.  Our oldest son has been over 3 times today to see her.  She has captured all of our hearts.

   Hi Sheryl!  These new puppies are ADORABLE, and I have forwarded the link to a friend.

   Linus has become such a part of the family.  He is very sweet, and probably a bit too spoiled.    He loves to pick Claudia up at school, where he is bombarded with just the sort of attention he loves so well.  His little tail goes into overdrive, and he has become a favorite of all the little kids getting out of school at the end of the day.  I could do without this little ritual of Claudia's, as Linus gets so excited when we arrive at the school that he becomes hard to keep calm.

   I'll send some pictures of this big baby.  Wow, has he grown.

   Best wishes on this new litter.  -Sue

   Follow up:

   Here are pictures of little Linus, being loved to death by the whole family! He has loved going outside, but today's raining, and he is NOT so sure about the whole getting wet thing.

   Hope all is well! -Sue

   Hi Sherie,

    I finally have pictures ready to send you! They are sitting here on

   my desk waiting to be sent out, but I've misplaced the address I have

   for you in San Antonio! I was wondering if I could get it again so I

   can go ahead and mail the pictures out since I know you have been

   waiting long enough for them. Quinlan is doing great, he's laying on

   the couch sleeping as we speak, recovering from a big dinner. I tried

   to include pictures from a little while after we got him to the most

   recent pictures we have taken. I currently feed him Solid Gold and add "The Missing Link"dietary supplement, but maybe switching foods would help? I've heard that alot of people believe California Natural decreases yeast production in their dogs. Any thoughts would be appreciated since you know much more than I do. Also, have you ever used vet insurance for your dogs? I am debating whether to sign him up for it through Pet

   Care, since they cover hereditary diseases such as MVD, but I'm not

   really sure it is worth it. Have you heard anything about it? Thank you!

   Ashley

   By the way, your new puppies are precious, I only wish I could afford

   another one!

    Congratulations!

   ********************************************************************

   Oh my goodness he is just the most precious little doggie EVER!!!!He whimpered on the way home but was really lovable. I thought he had to go potty. Sure enough he waited till we opened the door...........so WOW he is almost potty trained :)

   Thank you so much for bringing us this most delightful dog. The kids cant get enough of him. they are fighting over him a little........but now after playing awhile he is sleeping. He is taking turns with the kids to sleep with them on the couch. My kids never sit this long LOL

   WE LOVE  HIM!! the Rileys

   ********************************************************************

   Just wanted to send you some recent pics of George and his new home.  He is so loved and has brought so much joy into our home....We are actually thinking of getting him a companion!!  Although, he is never lonely b/c he gets to go to daycare with Brianna whenever I am working and when I work over night he has an Auntie that loves to keep him... He is AMAZING!!!

   Thank you again

   Hi Sheryl,

   I'm sure I will have questions as time goes on so thanks for the offer of help.

   We just got home from Chris' vet appt.  He passed with flying colors.  The vet said he looks great and is just adorable!!  Everyone in the office came by to have a look at him.  Several people commented on his expressive eyes.

   Talk with you soon!  God bless.

   Lorna

   Later...

   Hi!

   How is Jewel?  I saw she had another litter of pups.  They are really cute.

   Scamp is doing great.  He loves the kids and is happiest sitting in someone's lap.  He also thinks he's as big as our two Goldens.  It's so cute to watch them all cuddled up in a pile asleep.

   Hope all is well with you.

   Lorna

   

   ***********************************************************

   She is home and the paperwork was attached to her crate.  She loves the yard.  I am finding that it is not as easy to catch up to a running puppy as it once was!!  We live in the country and have about 2 1/2 acres of which about an acre or so is cleared.  We have never let our dogs run around unattended.  Mixed reactions from the cats - from a bit wary to let's get the heck out of here!!  (With a glare shot my way - "What have you done??")

   We have some concerns that Cassie may not be pure Cavalier.  We think she may be part Tigger.  (She does not run but bounces around the yard!)

   Deb

   Later...

   Cassie is now 8 lbs. 11 oz. and is incredibly full of energy.  She is very affectionate, and if you don't pick her up when she has decided she wants to sit on your lap (which is most of the time), she nibbles on toes to get your attention. 

   Her ears have developed a lot of ruby highlights.  Even though we have never fed her at the table, she thinks it is her due to be given food when we eat. 

   Her favorite game is to "fetch" the stuffed guinea pig (which she chose herself at the pet store - I would throw two toys down two at a time, and she consistently chose it.)  She still loves pig ears - a LOT.  She no longer hides them - guess she realizes there are no competing puppies for them and that the cats aren't interested in them.  My Siamese cat (not really Siamese - has the markings but is NOT purebred - but he thinks he is) loves to tease her.  When we walk her, he will squat down then buzz past her.  They have been nose-to-nose, tentatively, in the house.  Cassie has not figured out that they don't appreciate her exuberance.  She is the healthiest of puppies, and the most loving, playful companion that one could wish for.

   I will keep in touch.

   Fondly, Deb
