Mystique Furbabies
"I'd like to introduce you to some of our extended family."
May 31, 2008
Bev,
I should have written sooner, but I'm really busy trying to raise this puppy and keep up at work too. I think Max is doing great. He is happy, boisterous , full of mischief , and plumping up a bit. I am taking him to conformation class, we visit Pet Smart once a week, and are becoming a favorite in the neighborhood. Thanks to you there seems to be none of the standoffish behavior that the standard talks about. He is just as good with children as he is with adults. He is doing really well on the leash now. We only had one day when he did not want to hold his head up. I have connected with Kathy Raule whose husband is president of the BGA, and she has given me the name of the vet who does their ears. He is in West Virginia, but I expect to go there by the end of June or the first of July. He is learning to use the doggie door in the screen door, but I still never let him out by himself. He is also doing some hard work preparing for his agility career. On his own he has invented an obstacle course and runs it several times a day. I did place the cats' small tunnel out in the line of his run and he is already flying through that. He cracks me up all the time. That is why he is not better trained by now. I just bust out laughing at him all the time. What a Ball of Joy!!
Here is a picture from two weeks ago. He seems so much more mature now and that was only two weeks ago. He and the cat are still sorting things out, but he understands that he is not on the top of the totem pole here. Just above me!
Hope to hear from you, Amanda

Hi Bev,
Bernard wanted to say hello....he is doing so great. He is absolutely rotten to the core...lol. We just love him to death , there isn't a day that goes by that we don't laugh our butts off at him!!! He weighs about 5.5 -6 lbs now...growing like a weed...he is a hit everywhere we take him.
We all just wanted to say hello.
Take care,
Angela

Hi Bev!
Sorry it's been a little while~ We cannot thank you enough for our little furbaby Bella!! We could not of asked for anyone better than you to make this such a wonderful experience~truly!! Being that this was my first pet ever- quite honestly; I was a nervous wreck!!! All the time you took to answer all our questions and all of the info you provided us was so appreciated and so exceptional! I was so impressed how clean Bella was when she arrived in Buffalo, and so touched how you sent the little baby blanket with her mommy's scent. It was so clear right from the beginning to the end of the process how much you really care for your little babies. She is doing great and quite the "hit" in our local petstore & neighborhood!!! She graduated from her 8 week class with flying colors! She can sit, laydown, paw, rollover, and stay!!! Pottytraining is going well~ we're getting there....much better than I would've ever expected. She is so eager to please and just a little cuddler!! I can definately see why you call them furbabies! She really has made our family complete and we can't thank you enough!!!!

Tina, her mom, Karla, daughter, Danni & dad, Ed are pictured here picking up their Mystique
Brussels Griffon puppies, Peanut & Punkin. They now have five of my babies and if I searched
the world over, I couldn't have picked a more loving, caring family for them.
WARNING... "Griffs are like potato chips...you can't have just one!!!" lol, lol.
Dear Bev,
Well... where do we begin? It was such a pleasure to meet you and your sister. I am sad my mom didn't come with on the trip because you would have had a hoot with her! I told everyone how you checked up on us during our crazy snowy drive to see you and even afterwards to make sure Dante and Dior did well at the Hotel with us and then even wanting us to check-in to make sure we made it home okay - you are so wonderful and caring! I knew from the first time we spoke you were the right one! And you can see it in your furbabies! Thank you so much Bev for such little loves! We can't get enough of those adorable mugs! Even though the weekend we came to pick up our new puppies was horrible, weather wise - we all bonded very well snuggling during the 8+ hour drive car trip. Bruce and I just adore them! Bruce brought them to work the first week and he had never seen so many women come to his office in his life! And of course they came to the Vet Clinic I work for and received a perfect bill of health - and everyone is just smitten. All the clients I am close to are shown the puppy pics. They have met about 75+ people now including some amazing little kids of our friends and neighbors. Everybody is just captivated by them! They have totally taken over our hearts and everyone elses. Grandma Joyce comes over often to see them and she even comes to puppy-sit when we are out longer than a few hours. What a wonderful Fur-Nanny. Bruce's Dad, Dean, just loves them and he loves to hold them on his big Grandpa lap. Also, that's what we love about them too! They love to play, but they also just love to be held and snuggled - they are perfect for us! They have new fur friends too. They have played with a pair of shih tzu's (Blaze and Bruno) and even spent time with my sister's golden retriever "Molly" when we had a sleep over during the holiday. We are looking forward to when we can spend time this spring playing outdoors. Tonight their friends Coquette and Sautrelle (2 Yorkies) are coming over to meet and play. I can't believe how many little presents and toys they have received - they will be entertained for a long time! They are doing very well with learning new things. They both look very adorable in some of the little outfits we have gotten them - tee hee.
They love to fetch and play with the rope toy and they love to please! It's so cute, if one does something and we praise them the other does it to get the praise too! So, they encourage each other. They have no problem running UP the stairs - we are working on going down the stairs. Boy do they LOVE to play! And do they LOVE praise - they thrive on it! I can already see they are going to be amazing at agility! Remember how you said Dior was more shy? No way, she's the little explorer! She's very domesticated - she like to watch me in the kitchen and she must put the toys back in her kennel if they are all over - very comical. She has more of a need to follow us everywhere. And has a bit of a spicy temperment - ha! She sure is a daddy's girl. Dante is just a love - and wow can he run-around! He's more independent, but sure seems to look for his mom. And they are so sweet sleeping together. They are still working out who's dominant - any suggestions? We are trying to teach them how to use bells to notify us to go outside and go potty and we have a little pee-pad on our front step where they go - very well. They haven't gotten it down yet that they are suppose to tell us ahead of time so we are very watchful when they need to go. They are up to 3+ hours in their kennel at night before our alarm wakes up to take them and then they go right back to bed, but somehow they know when the alarm goes off and it's time for them to eat! They have great little appetites! ;-) They start their puppy classes next week. We are very excited for that! More socialization! I know they are going to be stars of the class - at least the class clowns! We have some great photos of them - but wow they can be hard to get - they can be so fast sometimes!
Love,
Bruce and Devra

Bev,
Kelly and I are just in love with our new puppy. We decided to call her Aspen. It's fun to watch her and our other dog Hallie work out their dynamics. Aspen has all ready mastered the doggy door and steps that we have up to our couch for her. She is so brave just jumping, running and all, even if she winds up face planting. We are going to the vet tomorrow. Thank you so much for our beautiful puppy.

Good afternoon Bev,
I just wanted to take a minute to send you this e-mail while Bentley is taking a nap. He has been playing all afternoon and has worn himself out. I took him to the vet this morning. They marveled at what a well-raised and much-loved puppy he is. Thanks so much for being such a good "mom" to him. I've attached some photos from the day that he arrived. I will send his portrait when I have it made. Thanks so much for sending me this wonderful bundle of love! Kathy

Bentley's (Tiny Timmmy's) 1st birthday
Hello Bev,
Today is Bentley's first birthday! I wanted to send you some photos of him and to thank you for bringing him into my life. He is such a snuggly boy. He is still light as a feather (about 8 lbs). He loves to lay in my lap or crawl up on my chest so that he can nuzzle my neck. He adores belly rubs and playing with other dogs at the dog park. We have joined a Cavalier King Charles meet-up group, so he gets to play with other Cavs. Also we adopted a female cavalier puppy with special needs. I know that I shouldn't have favorites, but Bentley is number one in my heart.
I hope that all is well with you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thanks for making 2007 a wonderful year for me.
Sincerely, Kathy Prough

Buying something - anything over the internet can be
a trying experience so when Lolly arrived I was thrilled
to see such a happy well adjusted little girl. I was
greeted with a wagging tail and a ton of kisses. Settling
her down for the night went without a hitch and within
a couple minutes you could have heard a pin drop. The next
morning more wags and kisses and a quick pop out for potty
before letting her play with her puppy chew.
The Vet's fell in love with her and when I told them
all the things Bev had done to smooth things along
with Lolly their first words were "that's a good breeder,
she really cares about the breed".
I feel fortunate in finding Bev's site and thank her for
all the help and adjusting of her schedule to get Lolly
out to me safe and sound. BTW Bev, Lolly's learned how
to untie shoes really fast!!!

Subject: Sammy the Cavalier
Hi Bev!
Sammy is doing great! He will be a year old on the 30th. He is so loving and silly. He loves to take long walks and lay with you. He is very good but at times he can be bad. He loves meeting new people and new dogs. He has many dog friends. Sammy and our other dog Barron love to roughhouse as seen in the pictures.

Subject: Thank You Bev!
Bev,
Just wanted to thank you again for my little baby girl...I love her soooo much!!!! She is doing so well. I named her "Zoey." Here are some pictures from this last week...I spoil her rotten!!
Thanks again!
Dana & Zoey
Hi Beverly,
Izzy wanted me to drop a line to say hello and let you know that she is getting quite grown up (6.2 lbs.) and is doing well. She is full of energy and loves going on walks. She likes to cuddle with her sister Sofie but also likes to "attack" her and drive her to distraction. Her coat is a beautiful orangey-red, although her head is more of a platinum blond and has a style all its own. We like to keep the hair trimmed on her face to show off her big brown eyes.
We hope all is well with you and all of your Fur Babies!
Karen Dykstra
Hi ,
Just checking in with you and to give you update on Forrest. He is absolutely wonderful and the light of our lives! My mom and dad are , as was expected, spoiling him rotten during the day while I work ---and of course I take over doing the same at night. He especially likes grandma to rock him in the afternoons as he naps! He is just perfect in every way -and you were so right about that personality! He's so very outgoing. He had all his final shots and the vet said he's great but also said it was time to be thinking about neutering him. I wanted to check and see what you recommend -is he old enough? I am also just being sure it's ok ---I know he is champion lines and while I'd love to have the time to show him ---I have no training and little time so it seems unlikely that it would be possible.
Do you recommend I go ahead and is he the right age? Just let me know -you work with the breed all the time ------and while my vet is fantastic ---I wanted your opinion .
Thanks so much for the help.

Dear Bev,
First, we want you to know just how very pleased we are with our furbabies! In fact, the entire adoption process has been so well handled. We appreciate how you have communicated with us on a variety of matters regarding this responsibility to help us clearly think it through and properly prepare. Your website is nicely laid out and contains a good amount of information and helpful links.
The email that you sent the night before they were shipped was so helpful, reminding us what to be sure and have with us when we picked them up and what to expect. I have also been very impressed with the program that Continental Airlines has for shipping dogs and can certainly appreciate why you only want to use them when you can.
When we got home with Breaker and Sophie, they immediately enjoyed a romp in the backyard and running circles around our 14 month old granddaughter to her squeals of delight, and then our next door neighbors couldn't resist coming over to say hello to the new arrivals. After watching Breaker and Sophie alternately run around and then hop into our laps for a cuddle, rest and refuge, our neighbor turned to me and said: “It is so obvious that these dogs have had a lot of loving already in their lives.”
That they have, and we don't intend to let up for one second on the loads of loving! We will send you pictures from time to time so you can be part of their growing up. We look forward to perhaps meeting you in person one day, but whether or not we do, you will always have a special place in our family for giving our furbabies such a wonderful start in life.
Sincerely,
Leon and Barbara Leake

We absolutely love and adore our new baby, aka Stevie. As of today we still haven't chosen a name for him. We've been searching for a fantastic name that can express how special he is and how much we love him, but to no avail. He really is such a delight. He's the perfect combination of bouncy bubbley bumpkin and total kick back and relax. For example, yesterday he was playing and running and having a great time. After some time had passed I wanted to take a little nap but I couldn't bring myself to lay down without him. Honest confession: I just can't keep my eyes off him. LOL Anyways I walked over and picked him up so he could lay with me, thinking he'll still be in "play" mode for a little bit, but he layed right down and we both fell asleep. No adjustment time at all. Just.. I picked him up and layed down and there he went...right with me. OMG! I do so adore him! Yesterday was his vet check and all went well. He's eating and drinking and his poopies look great. He plays so good with our other pet Abby. They are really so fun to watch together. Tiger our cat didn't seem the least bit bothered by him coming into our household..as opposed to Abby's homecoming LOL but she was a lot bigger than Stevie is. Also he learned to go outside to pee and poo right away. We have a doggie door but for now are just leaving the sliding glass door open a bit for him. He automatically wanted to pee in front of the sliding glass door, so it was really easy just to show him the way out and simple as that he goes outside! Also we wanted to let you know that it is very clear you take such good care of your furbabies. Farid commented last night that you must have had him on a program, something consistent. I said YES she did,, recalling your last email about how they know when it's "lights out". He's super affectionate and everything we could have hoped for. Really we couldn't have asked for anything better. He's just perfect Bev! Again thank you so much. We will keep in contact.
Much Love,
Dannelle and Farid

Hi Bev!
I haven't given you an update since right after we got Paco. I wanted to let you know how he was doing. He is the funniest, bounciest, goofiest, cutest puppy I have ever had!! He makes us smile a million times a day! What a great addition to our family. He and his bud Biskit (our golden) have become partners. They sleep together and play together. Paco will not go outside unless his 'body guard' goes with him! He is definitely my dog. He sleeps with me every night. Does not leave me until I get up in the morning. Sometimes I find myself not getting much sleep because I'm so worried about disrupting his!! LOL
I wanted to let you know we got him neutered and updated on all his shots. So he is good to go with no health problems. We are still debating on whether we should get him groomed or leave him scruffy. I like him scruffy but I wouldn't mind trying the grif way of grooming. I'lll send you some pictures if we do!
Thanks for a wonderful puppy!!
Katie
Hi Bev,
It has been a really long time since I have updated you on Woody. He is an absolute joy to have around. These Griffs are very smart. He loves to just cuddle on your lap all the time! Very affectionate dog. Still the dominate one, Beau my Papillion does what he says! Which is usually.. "move, I get the lap!"
I wanted to tell you that he became very attached to my aunt and everytime she would leave, he would stand at the door and whine for quite awhile after she was gone. We didn't understand why he was so attached to her, until this past summer when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I really think he knew something was wrong with her. She is okay now and he goes crazy when she pulls in the driveway waiting for her to come in the house. He doesn't leave her side when she is here. It is very heartwarming to see him act like this, I really believe he saved her life!
I attached a pic so you can see how he has grown, he doesn't like the camera so I did my best.
Have a great New Year.

Hi Bev.
It has been awhile so I thought we would give you an update and something for your testimonials page.
Tallie is in great health. She is up to date on everything, and recently she has been spayed. She eats NO people food.
She could use better training by Christy. We haven't formally trained her much, but she knows words like "Outside", "cookie", "squeek squeek" and
"where's Christy". She doesn't walk well next to anyone as she is all over the place. She goes potty when she needs
too and is well behaved. Sometimes she goes wild and flies around the house. Most everyone who knows our Griff is in love with her. She is pretty rare in these parts.
Thanks for all your attention in helping us select her. She has been wonderful for my daughter. They are two peas in a pod. She is pretty close to Christy's Mom too. She likes to follow her around. She has been the best find and we did our homework right, Bev. You really helped me out, we got the right dog, for the right person.
Thanks, Chris
Hi Bev,
It's Christy , Tallie has been great! She is a good dog for our family. Thank you so much for making sure she got on the rigth plane to meet me. Tallie is doing very well, she just
doesn't like baths, or car rides. All she loves to do is sleep,eat, and play all day with all of us. She has been a pleasure to have over the past months.
Thanks, Christy
HI Bev,
This is Diane, it's great to have a 3rd daughter...she fits in so well! Tallie is the first dog I"ve ever had and she's a joy. Even my oldest daughter Jordan has taken a liking to her. She did feel very strongly against any dog or animal before. Thanks again for helping us connect with Tallie. We all love her so much!
Have a great week!
Diane
Hi Bev.
Tallie is a doll. She and Christy have been bonding so well. She waits for Christy by the front door when Christy goes to talk to her friends. It's cute to watch. She follows her everywhere, they are two peas in a pod. Tallie gets lots of love and is never alone. She sleeps in Christy's room in a big crate.
The people we let see her are infatuated with her. We have a neighbor that stopped over the other day and came to give my wife an invitation. She invited herself in, Mom and Dad weren't there, she saw Tallie.... She called three times that night asking about her. She came over Sunday again to see her. She is the talk of Christy's friend's and Jordan's friends.
She is the cutest thing. You did such a wonderful job of raising her and helping us select the right dog. We feel truly blessed and I thank you for that. She has been great for Christy. She is happy to see her, she is happy to play with her, she talks to her. It's great. I thank you for this from my heart. It is helping her. Christy loves her so much.
Tallie isn't hurting either. She is sleeping, eating and having fun too.
She is getting darn well potty trained. You did a good job preparing her. She has a few accidents but we have been timing the whole thing and have figured out when she likes to go. All in all, she has been great.
Thanks talk to you soon.

Dear Bev,
Sorry it has taken me so long to let you know how our baby is doing. We have decided to name her Petite Mosel... "Mosey" for short. We love her so much, you could not have chosen better for a pup to fit in with our family. She wrestles with the boys, and is a lap dog and great company for me. She is so good, doesn't bark at anyone, she's never met a stranger and loves to meet new people. She even went to the boys Halloween party at school with me, in costume , of course. She was so good, and fell asleep 1/2 way through the party and the noise didn't even bother her. She has been a dream to house train, we have had her for 2 weeks now and she has yet to have an accident in the house. I have never had a dog this good or this smart. She is already learning "sit", of course it needs to be accompanied by a treat but she is so smart and eager to please us. She is almost 12 weeks now and she doesn't even weigh 4#, I wonder if she will get to 9#. She eats well and is not finicky at all. She plays well with my Mom's dog Teddy and holds her own... she doesn't let him bully her around, if she has had enough she comes and sits on my feet to be "rescued". Even my husband has said the almost 5 hour drive to get her was well worth it. My Mom is so impressed with her that she has asked me to check if you have another litter coming up anytime soon, as they might like to stop by on their way home from Illinois next time they go to visit their friend there. Everyone just loves the way she is so personable and cute and smart. Call me anytime you need anything as we are indebted to you for such a perfect addition to our family.
Thank you,
Tina Larson

Hi Bev,
I wanted to let you know that Portia (Betsy) is a little miss congeniality! She travels with me almost every weekend on a 2 1/2 hr. road trip to see my boyfriend and sleeps the whole way. We even took an hour train ride to NYC together, and she stayed on my lap calmly the entire time. People were stopping to pet her on the train and on the busy streets. When we got to Central Park, she made it her personal mission to be a one-dog welcoming committee to New York! We almost didn't get to sit down and play because she wanted to greet everyone by going up to them, wagging her tail, and giving kisses. She especially loves children. She is intelligent and a good listener. We are going to start training classes together so that she can become a therapy dog. She has become quite a character!
She will be 6 months on September 30th, so she is scheduled to be spayed on the 28th. I will send you the paperwork after I pick her up from the hospital.

Dear Bev,
Sandman aka Simba is a joy. He was a bit jet lagged Saturday but Sunday he came alive.
He is adorable! He is everything you said he would be, very loving, loves kisses and snuggling.
Just like a toddler he is very busy. He helped me find a few socks that
I thought had disappeared! He is very smart! We love him dearly.
I cannot thank you enough! He has completed my family.
May God continue to bless you and yours! I don’t have a digital camera.
But as soon I can get a hold of one, you’ll receive a picture or two.
Thank you again!

AFTER LOSING HER BELOVED PUG, PAT CAME TO MY HOME WITH HER LOVELY DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON(WHO STOLE A PIECE OF MY HEART!!) TO LOOK AT PUPPIES. PAT HAD A HOLE IN HER HEART THAT SHE KNEW WOULDN'T HEAL UNTIL SHE GOT A FURBABY TO LOVE AND NURTURE. OF COURSE, SHE LOVED EVERY ONE OF MY BABIES. BUT, WHEN SHE HELD THIS LITTLE CUTIE I COULD SEE THE CHANGE COME OVER HER. THERE'S ALWAYS A "LOOK" THAT TELLS ME A BOND HAS BEEN MADE AND IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS LINDI WAS "THE ONE"!! PAT HAS FOLLOWED THE ADVICE ON MY WEBSITE AND IS HAVING GREAT SUCCESS WITH HER NEW FURBABY.

I wanted to thank you for blessing me with such a precious puppy. Lindi is doing so well. We had a wonderful evening. She sleep all night and with no problems. She got up this morning and went potty outside. She sits at my feet when I make my bread. She is bringing us so much joy. I hope that she does well while I'm at work today. I go to work at 7:30 but Katie is home until 8:15 and then I am home again at 11:30 and then 4:00. I sent you bread with Katie this morning. Enjoy! I hope your mom likes it.
Thanks, Have a Great Day! Pat
Good Morning Bev
Another Great Night. She is just so precious. God has blessed me so. She sleeps all night. She goes outside to the bathroom and she is eating really well. I do walk her but we stay in the middle of the road and she never leaves my side. You can tell she loves it and looks forward to it. She does really well with the harness and leash. She was so cute this morning I put her in the bathroom with me while I took a shower and she still wanted to be with me so I opened the back of the shower door so she could see me and she climbed into the tub with me and when she got wet she decided to climb back out and decided that it was better to lay on the floor outside the tub. I wish you could have seen her. I got her car seat yesterday (which everyone looks at me like I have lost my mind but really I have just lost my heart) and we went for a ride and she was adorable sitting up in the seat looking out the windows.
Have a Great Day! Pat
Bev;
I wanted to send you a short note and let you know how Rorey is doing. He is
such a sweet, lovable puppy. We love him already. He slept almost all the
way home. He is eating and drinking. He seems to enjoy playing with all the kids and is actually taking a second nap. You were right when you said he is very outgoing. It has been a pleasure getting to know you some and I am so happy that we found your website because I can tell that your dogs mean the world to you. I also feel secure in the fact that I know Rorey has come from a breeder that always had his best interests first and foremost.
I will send you a picture soon and I will also keep you updated on how he is
doing. I look forward to getting to know you even better.
Hope your Mother dog has had her puppies and everything went well.
Thanks again, Bev.
Take Care.Vicki
Dear Bev,
We just LOVE LINUS, and so do all the people who have come to visit him. He is the most well socialized little man. He just loves everyone and is not the least bit skittish. I even had the carpets steam cleaned as he took a nap! Attached is our vet's findings on Linus. All seems very well. I promise to e-mail you some pictures as soon as I unpack that darn camera cord! Thank you once again for our little guy. He has truly brought such joy to our lives.
Sincerely,
Christine and James in New York
Ty and Newton, A Black Rough Coat Griff Puppy
"Hi Bev,
YES, no news is good news!! I have wanted to send you a note to let you know how things have been going, but this week has just slipped away (all of that puppy fun, I guess! :-) )
Newt is a great little dog! He has the most endearing and loving personality. He is calm and not nervous at ALL! He is Ty's shadow and always right by Ty's side. He follows Ty everywhere and comes running as soon as Ty calls his name. He seems smart and is quite agile (great for agility)! He has already figured out how to go up and down the stairs and runs really FAST in the backyard. Ty and Newt have been having a blast together! Newt sleeps in a little kennel right next to Ty's bed and he seems quite content with that. Actually, we have been impressed with how quiet the little guy is! The only time we hear him bark is when he is trying to get our little yorkie to play with him. We took Newt for a vet check on Monday and everything looked great! He weathered the flight really well and never seemed to look back! Newt seems to use the pee-pads quite well (which is very nice).
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little Newt! He was obviously loved and well-cared for and we ALL really love the little guy! We will certainly keep you updated on his progress and his future skills in the agility ring! :-) "

Monkey-Boy and His Girls (Missouri)
"Well, I've been meaning to email you about Monkey-Boy.
He is quite a puppy! We love him dearly even though
he has such a sense of entitlement. We, perhaps, take the blame for spoiling him. ha.
He is the most cuddly little dog I've ever had, yet he is also full of
energy and is so funny. He keeps all of us laughing and on our toes.
My Papillon, Bart, is constantly engaged with either playing with him or keeping him in
line. ha. The girls love him though he is slowly learning not to
chew their stuffed animals. He "talks" to us a great deal - wanting us to feel sorry
for him if he's had to spend any time in the utility room alone, or mad at us
for trying to make him mind. I can tell this is an intelligent breed with a stubborn streak!
Thank you for our new little monkey. He jumps great distances and climbs like a squirrel monkey!"

" LAURA MARSH SENT THIS DELIGHTFUL EMAIL FROM HER FURKID MAX. I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU!! "
"THIS IS MAX AND I HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS. THIS IS SURE A STRANGE HOLIDAY BUT I HAD FUN (I GOT INTO SOME TROUBLE TOO). WHY DO PEOPLE PUT A TREE IN THE HOUSE IF YOU CAN'T "USE" IT?? I WAS TOLD I'D BE IN REALLY BIG TOUBLE IF I WENT NEAR IT SO I TRIED TO STAY AWAY BUT IT WAS HARD WHEN MY TOYS ENDED UP LANDING HALF WAY UP THE TREE WHEN I WAS THROWING THEM AROUND. I WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET IT DOWN MYSELF SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO BOTHER ANYONE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE GETTING SO UPSET ABOUT.
ALSO WHY DO PEOPLE HANG UP SOCKS IF THEY DON'T WANT ME TO PULL THEM DOWN, THEY SHOULD PUT THEM IN THE DRAWER WITH THE OTHERS IF THEY'RE NOT A TOY!!! I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T HAVE THE CAT TOYS IN TIGGERS SOCK OR THE JERKY IN DADS SOCK?? I WOULD HAVE SHARED ONE OF THE BONES IN MINE WITH THEM (MAYBE NOT THE BONES BUT I'D LET 'EM PLAY WITH A TOY) I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE IT WHEN DAD TRIED TO BRUSH SOME OF THE DRIED BONE PUCKY OFF MY BEARD, THOSE EDIBLE CHEWY BONES LAST ALL DAY BUT I SEEM TO GET EVERY THING IN MY BEARD.
GRANDMA BETTY CAME TO VISIT FOR CHRISTMAS AND I GOT TO RIDE WITH DAD TO GO GET HER. SHE HAS RA TOO SO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE CAREFUL BUT I FORGET ALOT. SHE LETS ME CLIMB UP ON HER IF I DON'T JUMP AROUND.
MY BIG HUMAN TOY (ADAM) MOVED INTO AN APARTMENT JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY MOM KEEPS BEING SAD. HE COMES TO VISIT A LOT BUT SHE STILL GETS SAD SO I GUESS I JUST HAVE TO TAKE HER MIND OFF IT. IF SHE'S CHASING ME TRYING TO GET LAUNDRY AWAY FROM ME THEN SHE'S NOT WORRYING ABOUT ADAM. I LIKE TO TRY TO HELP PUT AWAY THE CLEAN CLOTHES BUT NO ONE ELSE THINKS THEY BELONG IN MY KENNEL.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW SPECIALIST AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!!"
LOVE MAX
Charlie and Matty Six Months Later........
"Hi, Bev...Charlie is so wonderful! He is an absolute joy! Everybody who sees
him is in love!! Thanks, again, for all your help! You have been so wonderful
to work with. Who knows, Charlie is winning my husband over so much, we might
be back for another one in the future!" ~Thanks, Kristi~
(Six Months Later......)
"Hi, Bev, I just took a cute pic of Matthew and Charlie, and wanted to send it
to you. Charlie is doing great! He is doing well with potty training, and show sit
and lay down. He knows come, but sometimes chooses not to listen! hehe.
But he will do anything for a treat! We just love this little guy. Matthew
cannot be without him. We went away for a weekend and the whole time
Matthew was saying he missed Charlie! Thanks for bringing this little guy
into our lives!"

KRISTI SAYS....... "IT'S TRUE, YOU CAN'T HAVE JUST ONE CAVALIER!!!"
Hi Bev,
Lola is doing beautifully! You must have started potty training a bit with her, because she is doing so very well! She makes it until at least 7:30 in the morning!(With Charlie we were up at 5 for the first couple weeks.) Matthew absolutely adores her! She is a little cuddle bug, which is just what we wanted! The morning after we picked her up, they both fell asleep on me. I was in heaven! She just loves Charlie. She follows him everywhere he goes. He is still getting used to her. Lots of fights over toys, just like siblings. Whatever she has, he wants and vice-versa. But this morning they were lying together in Charlie's bed. I think that he will be fine with her very soon. She is going to be a wonderful addition to our family.
Thanks again for all you've done!
Kristi
