We enjoy
reading about the exploits of the puppies we have raised that are now in new
homes. For a long time, we just read and enjoyed them within our family. But
we realized that some of you want to hear about the good (and the
challenging) things others have found from getting a new puppy. So, we're
putting some of the comments here on this page for others to refer to.
Unfortunately, we only began this page in the early summer of 2007, so we
have lost many of our puppies' new owners' comments and pictures from the
past.
My new alarm clock is a bite on the nose.
That tells me she has to go out. She is really good about that ....sniffs
her way to the door and looks back at me. This morning after doing what
doggies do when you first let them out, I was praising her and she was so
excited because she knew she did good that she hopped up in the air and did
a 360 and took off running. She is so awesome. The only time I have been
apart has been yesterday and today at work. When I got home, she came
running up to and managed a little bark.......Dad said he let her out
yesterday and when she was done she scratched on the door to be let back in
and ran right up the stairs and plopped into the pile of clothes I had on
the floor and went to sleep. She has mastered the stairs. She tears around
the house and yard at a 100 miles an hour and when she hits the linoleum in
the kitchen and turns, her back end slides out from her. It is so cute.
We have a grocery bag with a box of milk
bones in it that sits on the floor and she pulls that all around the
kitchen. She also loves TV.....the first night she put her paws up on a
little footstool we have in front of the TV and was watching the screen with
her little tail wagging like crazy. She will sit in the chair with me and
watch it, tilting her little head back and forth watching the whole screen.
In the car, she crawls into my lap and goes to sleep. Or lays next to me up
against the console.
She is just the best and everyone who has
seen her has fallen in love.

"BayLeigh," 2007 puppy, Ho-Jo's Buster Joe x Rons Ramblin Rose
Bart is one of Sal's puppies, and Maggie is a sister
to a couple of our beagle mothers.
Hi Toni and family,
I want you to know that Maggie is growing and flourishing just fine. She is
aggressive and runs the household. She loves playing and attacking her older
brother Jack. I emailed you and told you that I hired a dog photographer,
and she did such a fantastic job. I'm attaching a couple of pictures. Let me
know if you want a couple of just Maggie for your web page. We got more pics.
of Jack, he just loved the camera. Maggie, not so much. She's still so young
a just wants to play, and not cooperate or act on queue. I'll have to hold
off on her acting début. I call her Maggie Waggie because her tail still
wags a mile a minute. Everyone who meets them can't believe they are not
biologically related.
Take Care,
Gina, Jack, and Maggie

 Hi Toni, Just thought I'd share a
picture of our Marley with you. He's growing so fast, we can hardly
believe it! He's been such a great puppy, thanks so much for all of
your help and for raising such quality puppies! Chelsey R

 Toni, Here are some pictures of
Spike. As you can see he's adjusting just fine!!!! He started
Chewmania at about the 5th day of his arrival and we were thinking
we should have named him Chewy, but we were given some corrections
to give him and he's catching on just great. He had only woken up in
the middle of the night once (that was the second night he was here)
and he's had a few inside accidents, but that's to be expected. He
and the other dog get along Great!!! We'll keep you updated!!
Thanks, Shelly
Thought we would send some recent pictures of the two
beagles we purchased back in August, (think they were from your 1st
letter at the end of June). The tan and white is the male (Lucky)
(wow! everyone who has seen him has been impressed) and the tri-
colored is the female (Kenya). They were spayed and neutered about
two weeks ago. We could not be happier with the dogs. Thank you very
much. Darren and Shannon

Hi Toni-
I just thought I should take the time and let you know how the puppy is
doing. My husband got home with her about 11:30 pm Saturday night, she is
so beautiful and so little. We really love her :-)
Our other dog, Sunny (a rat terrier) is starting to adjust to the new
addition to the family. She didn't quite know what to think about getting a
sister after being an only child since we lost our last beagle in 2002.
Bailey and Sunny are doing a lot of running in the yard so the puppy is very
tired by the end of the day. Its really cute when Bailey can't catch Sunny
when they are running she barks are her. It is the cutest little bark. My
daughter said that Bailey howled for the first time today, I can't wait to
hear it!
She sleeps in bed with my daughter and sleeps very good, Heather only has to
get up once a night to take her outside. it is really amazing she really
doesn't cry at all. I remember when the other dogs were young pups and we
first brought them home at night time they would cry a lot. Why is it when
you get a puppy the puppy always wants to eat the adult dog food and the
adult dog only wants to eat the puppy food? I think that's our biggest
problem with the two of them, they wait until they are really hungry to eat
because we won't let them eat each others food.
She is adjusting very well and we are really enjoying having her as part of
our family. I will send you pictures as she grows so you can see how she's
doing.
Thank you very much for allowing us to adopt one of your puppies. It is
wonderful to have a beagle in the family again. I love all dogs but there
is a special place in my heart for beagles, the first dog I remember my
family having when I was a child was a beagle named Lady and I have just
always loved beagles. When my daughter was 2 years old (she is 17 now) and I
felt she should have a dog I went out and got a beagle. So as you can see I
have a history with beagles, I think they are the most loving dogs you could
ever have and they are excellent with small children.
Take care and thanks again,
Shelly

Hi Toni,
I thought I would just drop you a line and send you a recent picture of our
puppy, Apple, whom we picked up from you last December. She has grown into a
beautiful dog and gets along so well with Katie (our King Charles Cavalier
Spaniel) who is also in the picture. She's very obedient, energetic, kind and
smart! I can't thank you enough for allowing us to have such an important and
cherished member of our family.
Cheers,
Sandi

Hi Toni,
I keep meaning to drop you an email and then I don't get a chance. I hope that
things have settled down for you guys.
Baron is doing great -- he never even acted like he had, had surgery (except he
tried to lick the stitches). . . he would run around and go crazy as if
everything was normal. We've had to really try to keep him settled down for the
sake of the stitches and healing. . but he is doing awesome!! He really likes to
rough house with JR. . . and he likes to curl up and snuggle with me (he is
sleeping on my feet as I write this!!) He seems to be getting adjusted -- he
sleeps well (except when he needs to go out), likes to tickle us with his cold,
wet nose, and we're all getting along great! I was going to attach a couple of
brand new pictures of him, but I just realized I haven't uploaded them to the
computer so here are two from the airport. . .
Have a great weekend!!
