Letters from happy puppy people

What a wonderful addition to our family!  I can't begin to tell how great she has been, she sleeps with my mom at night, in her crate on Monday (we worked) on the couch evenings, and she even plays "blocks" with Samantha, that's if sitting next to Samantha on the floor counts, Sam thinks it does!  So far no accidents on the floor, she is going "potty" outside on a leash!  Cheater loves her raw hide bones, we can usually find them in her doggie bed (she has yet to use this other than to hide toys).

I've made an appoinment for the vet this Sat, seeing is she loves the car this shouldn't be a problem.  Her temperment is wonderful, sweet and very gently, I'm very pleased with my choice in breed, but more so with my choice of breeder.

Thank you for making this an affordable and wonderful experience!  Be sure to keep in touch, I'll let you know when we schedule her for the spay!

Dear Meg,

   Thank you comes to mind quite frequently when I think of how lucky we are to have Tully.  I wanted to send you some pictures and tell you how wonderful he is & about his great personality.
   Tully loves to go for walks-does extremely & always has on his leash.  He has 2 girlfriends-one next door- weather prmitting they will run & chase each other from yard to yard, back and forth-the neighbors love to watch them.  The other friend is behind our house-there is a fence that runs along the back property line and they chase each other back & forth wagging their tails like crazy.  We don't have a fenced in yard-but we have been able to let Tully out to play in our yard.  While we are out-he is quiet and trustworthy & listens extremely well for a dachshund!-We only let him out without a leash when we are with him-maybe as time goes on we will feel more comfortable-but for now all are afraid he might get in the street or go hunting-So we don't take any chances.  Tully travels well-he went with us to Kentucky for five days last spring & to Grand Rapids for 3 days over Thanksgiving.  He loves to ride in the van-if he hears the keys or sees coats going on he is waiting at the beack door! We hardly ever use te crate except at night (bedtime).  He is such a wonderful companion for Andrew-he is great with kids-we have 5 nieces & nephews under 4-we spent Thanksgiving together & Tully was great!  Running out of room-Hope all is well with Patrick & your family-Andrew still remembers coming to get Tully.  Meg-Thank you from my heart!
