Hi Darla,
Sending you the latest pictures of the ‘kids’.
They enjoy playing together and are fun to watch.
Hope all is well by you.
In Christ,
Nancy & Ron
We hope that you are doing well and want you to know that Duke is
wonderful and just a loving joy. He loves to play and fetch his toys
and also tries to talk.
Hi Darla,
We hope all is well at your house.
This rainy Sunday afternoon, all 4 of us just go up from naps and are set for a car ride.
We are thankful to the Lord for leading us to you for the puppies He wanted to bless us with.
Right now, they are playing tag around the furniture. Ron is training Gracie on some things and they both are doing quite well.
Happy and Gracie together are calming down with each other.
Darla:
I wanted to take a moment to tell you how happy we are with your pup. We've named her Addie, short for Adele. She met our vet the day after we brought her home. Dr. Anderson said she had a beautiful coat. Of course, everyone who has met Addie is in love with her. She also met her groomer who took such gentle care of our Allie. They too fell in love with her instantly.
She has quite the personality. I wonder if she slept at the top of the puppy pile b/c she loves to sleep on my pillow with her chin resting on my head. She also likes to sleep with her body across my neck! The past week she's started sleeping more on the pillow pushing me off, but that's okay too. She is quite the naughty little thing, but we enjoy that. House training is coming along. We had snow Tues and Wed of this week, about 4 inches with frigid temps. Fortunately, she likes to get out, do her thing and get in.
When I get a chance to download some pictures of her I'll send you a picture or two.
I wanted to thank you for breeding such quality bichons and for the opportunity to buy a pup. We are thrilled to have her join our family. She has been the answer to our many months of prayers...finding the right puppy to fit into our family. Both Kolby and Weston still fight over who gets to hold her leash when we take her outside; who gets to let her out of the cage when we arrive home; and who gets to take her upstairs to sit on their bed for the bedtime prayers.
Have a great day and I'll be in touch with some pictures.
Blessings to you and your family,

Hi Darla -
Wanted to send a picture or two of our Yoshi bichon babies we got this past
year - Ollie is now a year old (parents are Stormy and Renee July 2008
litter), and our sweet Sadie is 6 months old, (parents Pete and Winter Feb
2009 litter). They are so adorable and are a big part of our family
now. Ollie and Sadie loved each other from the first day without a
problem, they are inseparable and its so cute to see them sleeping or
playing so close together in a little pile of white bichons. They make us
laugh every day, and of course they both sleep with us.
They both have the most beautiful coats; Sadie's is now getting such a
pretty coat and tail since she's 6 months old and Ollie's coat is so thick
its like plush carpet. We think they are both pretty special.
You may remember that I had never had a female dog before and wanted one
for a long time; when we got Ollie there were no girls available, and while
we adored him and were delighted to get him, when you 6 or so months later
decided not to keep Sadie for yourself to show and let her come to Iowa, we
were more than thrilled to come get her.
I hope this finds you and your family well. I hope you have gotten moved
and settled into your new house.
Again, thanks for providing us with wonderful bichons, they are pure
enjoyment for us.

Hi Darla,
Gracie and Happy are doing great. Happy is Momma's boy and Gracie gravitates more to Ron. It's special times
just right. (That just came out) ha
We hope you are doing good and maybe you are all moved into your new place
by now.
I have to tell you this. A long time ago Ron bought a computer pad with 2
Bichons on it. Talk about prophecy, or destiny, whatever, just last week I
realized that these 2 Bichons resemble Happy and Gracie in such a remarkable
way, that it makes your skin crawl. Happy even has his chew bone between his
paws. That has to be a miracle.
Have a great day,
Nancy and Ron
Hi Darla,
Gracie is sleeping in her kennel all night now with a couple breaks to her diaper pad. (Thank you Darla for starting her off to go on that picture frame pad, (really appreciated!)
Before sunset, we like to go across the road to a walk area, lots of room there. Gracie chases a kick ball around for a few minutes, - she is such a fast runner!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is so sweet and we love her very much.
We are looking forward to bringing "Happy" home too.
Ron bought a wall hanging, it says, "I love my Bichon, we are family"..
Have a good day,
Love Nancy
Darla,
Kayleigh made a wonderful passenger and had a good ride home. We're glad we split the trip into two days, but she was very good. She slept well and has hardly made a peep. Her appetite is a healthy one and she's done great going outside.
She's going to adjust just fine and our Suzie is adapting too. She's melted the hearts of my in-laws and Kevin's grandma (who's threatened to steal her)!
We just wanted you to know how much we appreciate what you've done and that she's come into a good home.
Blessings,
Kim & Kevin
Hi Darla,

Hi Darla - I wanted to send you a couple pictures of Ollie. We love him so
much and hopefully he feels the same about us. We are having so much fun
with him - what a personality bichons have and, of course, you raise only
the best babies (and we really do appreciate your hard work)! As I told
you, he's 6 months old now, about 12" tall and weighs about 13 pounds. He
loves to go with us everywhere we go, adores our grandchildren, sleeps in
our bed with us at night, and is full of joy and pep, just a cuddly little
love.
He just had a haircut this week so I took pictures while he's looking so
'fancy schmancy'. We are still hoping to get him a little girl to play
with and hope to do that at a time when this awful Iowa winter subsides.
Best wishes to you and yours,
Mary Jean and Gerald

Darla,
I just wanted to write you and let you see a picture of Bailey. She
has been such a great addition to our family and we couldn't be any
happier with her. Thanks again!

Hi Darla,
I wanted to touch base and keep you posted on Chance. He is doing VERY WELL and is getting lots of attention and love from all of us. I can't believe we are already contemplating getting him a companion. Sincerely, Catherine
Hello Darla!
Butters is adorable! He is full of spit and vinegar and gets way too much attention! We gave him his first bath Friday night and he did pretty well.
He is devoted to Molly and insists on sleeping in her bed with her, but she doesn’t seem to mind.
Did I tell you he is the cutest puppy in the world?
Mary
He is great. Loves to play and is very fiesty, which is good for my other Bichon.
Questions about how you were training him. I know you said you had a doggy door, but did you also have paper down anywhere in the house? Is that something that you recommend? He goes immediately after he eats, within minutes, so that one is easy, its the rest of the day. He slept all night last night so that is going good. Thanks for checking with us!

Hello Darla----
First,, I was out of town this weekend, so had no access to email so sorry for the late reply…. (but Lisa and Catherine were here with the pup)
Our family is really enjoying Tyler…. Yes he has a lot of spunk, and a great addition to our family…. The ride home was fine on Thursday, and we did our potty training right away (3 times on Thursday night, and 2 on Friday and Saturday night (like middle of the night that is)…
It’s a crazy week for me,, but rest assured Tyler is in loving and caring hands. We will get you a more complete update and some photos in a few days,, but all is OK with him.
Again Darla, I know the other pup misses his brother, as well you too. I’ll go to the family room, in just a minute, and give him a love hug and kiss from you.
THANKS for your concern, and allowing us to adopt part of your family…
Most Sincerely,,
Mark E
Darla,
We bought Lucky from you well over 3 years ago, (we celebrated his Birthday over the summer) ,
He is doing just great , he weighs 10.5 pounds and is a little bit over a foot. Lucky's official name is
LuckyBoy Jones-Barsoumian XII. He was in Abby and Jingles' litter , he is just so cute and spoiled. Lucky is really friendly,loving, and funny.
Lucky is very healthy , but he refused to eat the Royal Canin dog food , but he eats Filet Mignon
for dinner ,and some of my scrambled eggs for breakfast, He likes to snack on Greenie bones.
We are taking excellent care of Lucky ,
when we were celebrating my Nephew's Birthday in the Ritz-Carlton, we rented the Presidential
Suite for Lucky and hired a babysitter ( Lucky likes meeting new people, but can't stay alone) .
We Love Lucky , and Thank you for such a perfect dog (don't let lucky hear that I called him a dog , he'll get so mad!)
Thanks Again,
Lana
