 Gabby Daughter of Issabella-Michaela,
Here are a few pictures of Gabby. She is doing better every day as far as the kennel goes. She has been a perfect puppy, she is really blending in well with our family. As each day goes by, we see more and more of her wonderful personality.

Gunner has really enjoyed having someone to play with, and Yogi is starting to tolerate having a puppy around the house.

Will send more pictures for you to see.

Hope you are doing well. We can not thank you enough!

 Red and Friend at home in California

Hey, can you believe tomorrow is a week?  I thought you might like this picture of her.  The kids have been home for spring break and have been playing her out!  We are so happy with her.  I am so glad that I found you, because she is the best dog ever.  She is so sweet, and she is settling in so well.  Sage and Bella were instant best friends.  You have helped us to fill an empty place in our family that we thought would always be there.  Thanks again for everything.

Love,

Summer

I worked Copper on a pheasant wing today. Copper had two points, front paw raised and all.
Copper pointed at least 6 times total counting the times he did not raise a front paw. He has strong inherited instincts. He is perfect. Thankyou,

 I weighed Sam and Abby a couple of days ago — Sam is 70 lbs and Abby is 63.4 lbs (how does she stay 7 lbs behind no matter how much they grow?) They love the K-9 Grass in the yard and it sure makes for less mud in the house. Noses on both are pink —- will need to watch out for sunburn this summer when we are in the convertible. They are both such puppies! Love to play, and run, and sleep, and play and run again. A few more photos will follow in a few minutes.

Those Canada dogs may play in the snow, but we play softball!!

Aria Rose is already a retriever – of softballs!

Aria is doing so well and we love her so much.

A “Thank you” can not be enough for what you have given us.

Michaela,

I named her Bailey, she is doing just great and I absolutely love her. She has such a playful personality
and loves being around people! Potty training is going well and much easier than I expected. She has
slept all night so far and wants to wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed and play around seven every
morning. School starts up next week and I won’t be able to be with her 24\7 and she is not going to like
that! I have plenty of pictures I could email you if you would like. Hope you like the name! thanks again.

Hi Michaela,Riddix has been doing really well the past couple days. I’ve been training him to go on command and haven’t experienced any messes yet. He’s a weird eater. He grabs a few kibbles from his bowl and chews it elsewhere. He enjoys his kong toy with the pastry stick which keeps him busy during down time. He never leaves your side which makes it easier to leash train but he still scratches at his collar. He does really well with the seatbelt harness on trips and he gains a lot of attention. Many people have never seen labs of this color. Crate training has helped greatly with potty training but getting sleep is challenging. I try to wait until he quits whinning before I take him out. He doesn’t sound like a hyena anymore at night so we are getting somewhere. That’s all I have for an update so far. I will let you know how the trip to Denver goes. Talk to you later.Shawn Thomas- ColoradoMichaela, He’s doing wonderfully!  He fussed a little the first night, but has slept in his crate peacefully since.  Sleeps six or seven hours straight.  He’s very bidable and well into training:  Peed in the house the first day, but has gone outside ever since.  Walks on a leash without pulling, knows sit, down and stay.  Loves to play with his new toys, especially his big stuffed pig that grunts when he bites it.  Learned to fetch and retrieve very quickly.  Its been hot, so we bought him a wading pool and he loves the water.  We can’t wait to get back to Michigan, so we can introduce him to Lake Gogebic and the north woods.  He’ll be living the life of liesure with his new mom and dad; retired and spending the summers in Michigan and the winters in sunny Arizona.   We had him to the vet for his second series of shots and the vet said he’s perfect.  All the staff fussed over him and commented on how beautiful he was.  Had him microchiped and registered with AKC.  Thanks again Michaela for all your effort on our behalf.  We’ll keep in touch and will send some photos when he gets a little older. Michael Hull- Arizona  Hi Michaela-Got your message. Yaz is doing great, but he won’t stop growing. I started training regiment last week. He already knows sit, stay, come. Usually I’m yelling ‘Hey’! That’s the ‘whatever you’re doing, stop!’ command.
I attached some updated pics. Hope all is well and thanks again for Yaz-Eric Florida Hey Michaela,
Here are some photos I shot of Brody playing in the snow. He’s still being a great dog. Definitely has his good and bad days though,but don’t we all? Thanks again for such a wonderful dog!
