UPDATES FROM OUR FRENCHIE FAMILIES...
Hi Kay,
I wanted to let you know I took Cooper to the vet yesterday and he was a superstar. From the vet to the front desk workers Cooper had them all under his spell. Cooper was of course enjoying all the attention and was at his most charming. One assistant even said she has seen a lot of puppies but that Cooper was the cutest pup she had ever seen. I, of course, agreed. The vet said he was a beautiful pup and very healthy.
He has such a great personality and laid back attitude. Everyone that meets him LOVES him. He is doing great on his potty training and has even learned to ring the bell we have on the door like the big dogs do. He was quite proud of himself for learning that trick, as he should be.
He fits so well into our family that it feels like he has always been here. I have attached a picture that really shows how well he has adjusted.
Thanks for such a great new family member.

I wanted to tell you about our trip to the vet. My vet has never spend that much time with any of my animals. He was so delighted. He was tickled pink with Benedict "Gus" . The whole office (5 vet techs and 2 office ladies) went on and on about what an amazing breeder you are! I think I've said your website at least 6 times this morn. Ppl are completely taken by how perfect he (and you) are!!! Thank you so so much:)- The Buxton Family!

Hello Kay,
I have to tell you that Walter is keeping us laughing constantly. He is fearless and what a clown. I should buy stock in Pet Smart with the amount of toys I have bought for Walter and always in the smaller sizes, however Walter's favorite toys are Merlin's and are all bigger than him, but he marches off with these bigger toys like he owns the place. He is not just a comedian however he loves to snuggle and is such a charmer. He is growing in leaps and bounds and could out race the road runner. Never a dull moment in our house and I think that Merlin has finally figured out that his new BFF is not going anywhere, did I mention that Merlin is Walter's most favorite toy.
Thank for the newest addition to our life he is pure joy.

P.S. Attached a photo, you can see Walter was in the thick of it helping Maddy get ready for the Prom!

Hey Kay,
I just wanted to let you know that we're doing great...Winston is getting so big! He weighed 8lbs the last time we had him at the vet. He's a great mix of playful and cuddly. His favorite places are my head/neck if we're lying down or my lap...though thankfully he only puts his head on my neck instead of his whole self like he did when he was smaller. He's still doing really well with training--both potty training and commands--it impresses me with how smart he is...which leads me to a story I thought you'd appreciate.
There is a high school girl that I am mentoring, and I picked her up from school yesterday before taking her to lab, and on the way I stopped to take Winston out and what not. When he saw her, he got SO excited and tried to 'fly' out of my arms to get to her. It was all I could do to hold the wiggly creature to get him safely to the ground. Then, nothing would do but for her to pick him up, and when she did, he wiggled and shook and gave her sooooo many kisses. Now, he loves me to pieces and is excited and loving, but he has NEVER acted that way for ANYONE, and I wondered why....then it struck me...as unlikely as it may seem, I think he remembers your younger daughter because I looked at the picture I still had of her holding him on the website, and my mentee actually looks like a slightly older version of her...not exactly but really really close. I'm sure they must smell different, but he acted the way my other dogs do when I've been away for a while and they've only had dad. I thought it was really sweet, and if true, a testament to the extra attention you give these guys that they would remember so strongly. I didn't think to take a picture, so the next time she's over there with him, I'll try to do that.
UPDATE: I hope the move and everything is still going well! I wanted to tell you about Winston's trip to the vet yesterday. He was in for his rabies vaccination and an exam. The vet was very impressed with how he's grown to the degree that she said, "I usually don't say this, but you should seriously think about breeding him if he stays like this. He's a perfect example, shape, size, healthy, great temperament, etc. and would be good for the breed." I know you already know how awesome your babies are, but I thought I'd toss in the opinion of an independent vet that doesn't know you and your frenchies.

Hi Kay,
We are one happy household!! Your family has given us a priceless gift! Our ZuZu is a very funny and brave little Frenchie. He has only been here a little over two weeks and we can't remember life without him.
He wakes up so happy and full if energy, zipping throughout the house. He already runs up the stairs as much as we try to catch him first. He just came down tonight on his own. He is a very big dog in a little body!! Totally fearless which sometimes scares the heck out of us !
Our vet trip was great last week, he got his shot and picked up 1.5 lbs in just over a week. He is growing rapidly and is so handsome and charming! He loves food and we are very careful not to give him table food. He did have a little piece of banana and apple. Just climbed into my lap and helped himself.
Thank you for checking in on us. It is very reassuring to know that we can contact you anytime that we may have a question or concern. It speaks volumes to the fact that they really are your babies!! It must be hard to part with them, fear not we will continue to spoil him with love (and only a couple I'd treats lol).
Best to you all.
Fondly,
Mike, Gloria and family

Hi Kay!
I hope this email finds you and your family doing well. We received the calendar and simply love it. I don't know how you find the time to put it together but am so happy you do. It sounds like this will be a busy year for you but full of excitement!

Take care,Xo

-Hey Kay-
I am sure you are so happy the move is over. I am sure it was incredibly stressful. Any move is, and with all you have going on with work and caring for Frenchies, I can't even imagine how you handle it all.
Thank you for the little treat for Chips. He loved it.
He is one of the best things to ever happen to our family. We talk about getting him a play mate, and it's so hard to resist all the puppies when you post new litters online. I suspect we won't be able to resist too much longer.
Thanks again.
Renee
