Hi,
Tank is great, almost 10 pounds now, cuter than ever. He has had 2 haircuts and his colour is just STRIKING. What a coat he has.
The only bad thing is the groomer says he does not like to work with her while he is getting his haircut. She does a great job it just takes a little longer.
Elvis is still ok with him. They work together now to ask for treats. Once he goes on the wee wee pad , Elvis runs to tell me so that they can have treats together.

Madison is so adorable. She has the sweetest face and such a wonderful demeanor. She is an angel. My lola is a bit difficult and she just makes things look so easy. She weighs about 10 pounds. She loves being outside, she wonders around everywhere sniffing things out! Her and Lola though have really bonded and play very well together.
take care, amanda

Denise,

I just want to take a minute to thank you for all you have done for Kara and me as we go through and continue to go through this exciting journey.

For someone who has been breeding shih tzu puppies for sometime, you manage to make each puppy event feel that you are also experiencing it for the very first time as well!

I read all the letters on your website and they truly have captured our feelings and sentiments. As one said they feel as they know you before even meeting you. That's how we feel and just can't wait to meet you!

The photos, the videos, the patience with never ending questions and concerns have made this a journey way beyond anything we could have imagined!

If you make it to Rutgers I would welcome you to my home- to visit with both Watson and me.
Rutgers or not, I extend an open invite -

Warm regards,
Kathy and Kara    

Hi, Denise,
Thanks for your note. I've been meaning to email you, but wanted to wait to send you a photo. I just took this one yesterday. Isn't he getting big?

Coco is definately not yesterday's news. He has become the man of the house! He is soo funny- he loves to run off with shoes and baby toys and he has an ongoing "battle" with my daughter's maraca. Everytime it rolls and makes a noise he jumps all around it barking and pouncing. My husband and I love Coco and we are really enjoying him; he is just the best dog, and we never dreamed we would have so much fun with him. The kids play with him constantly and have taught him how to give his paw.
He is just amazingly sweet and happy and so much fun, with the best personality! Thank you for Coco!!! Hope you and your family are well!!
Best regards,
Marcy

HERE IS A REPLY WHEN I ASKED IF I COULD USE HER LETTER ON MY SITE:

Not a problem at all. Feel free to use whatever I write and whatever pictures I have sent. Everyone should know how wonderful your litter of dogs turn out! Trust me when it is time for me to get another shih tzu, I know where to come looking! Amanda

Hi denise so sorry I am getting back to you so late..We had to take the lap top in for repairs and now everything is running smooth.

Let's talk about Cozmo. He is great!! He is so loving and sweet. I want you to come by the house and see him. He has grown up so much. He can go up the steps ,he listens, he was very easy to potty train. You are a great
breeder. There is a big difference between him and my other dog. When a dog is breed properly and is held and loved by the care taker. Your result is my COZMO!!!!!

Please come by one day so you can spend time with him...my number is *******

We took Gypsy to the vet on Friday and the doctor said that she is a very healthy puppy. She is full of energy and keeps us laughing everyday.

Sienna is taking great care of her, grooms her everyday and Gypsy loves her to death. She follows her around everywhere and waits patiently for her to finish her homework so they can play again.

Hi Denise, thanks for stopping by yesterday. I hope you'll come again to visit. Just wanted to let you know that Buddy did great at his checkup. He was so behaved. and he didn't even make a peep when they gave him his shot. They said he looked very healthy and very cute!

We are great! Mugs is great. He such a great dog. He's definitely getting used to his home and his surroundings and is barely whining at all these days when we put him in his room with his crate. He is very good at using the wee wee pad and we've only had a few accidents. We love him! Thanks so much for everything. We are extermely happy.    

There were from the time we picked them up from you exceeding intelligent - they knew from day one what " No was " they work to-gether as a pair they instantly knew where to go when we say " O.K. go back to the house "
(after taking them for a routine walk to attend to their toiletry.)

They knew from, as if by instinct, when we said come back down the stairs or up the stairs right from the beginning. We always marveled when as very young infants we said no to something they were doing and they instantly backed off and went somewhere else to get into trouble.

They are little devils because of their extreme intelligence - for example - if we leave some cookies accidentally on the table - Buddy jumps up on the table via a chair and pushes with his head all the good stuff off the table and Coco carries it over to their Doggie play pen - this is a daily operation.

We have to always make sure they can't reach anything we don't want them to take to their play area. - You could almost swear they know English -

The problem is they are still babies and they continue to test the limits. They are just now beginning to mature and refrain from taking liberties .

We only had one other dog that was that smart and it was a Newfoundland which was so big we called her Bear.
