Tillman (left) and Jake (right) have a new family! They will fly together to California. Their new mommy is Rachel and her dad says she is so excited to see her babies! These little guys are so very playful and full of energy!

My name is now Sadie and my new mommy is Kristina! She says we will live in Texas! I love to play, wag my tail and give my breeder mom kisses all of the time! When I can get within reach, I chew on her hair too - that is fun too!

Romeo gets a big hug from Julianna before leaving for her first day of school! Then looks as if he is waiting on the steps for all of his "kids" to get home from school!

Stephen, Julianna (holding Romeo) and Jillian are three of Romeo's four new human brothers and sisters!

Pictured left is Julianna, Jeana (holding Romeo) and the oldest brother, Joey. On the right is Leo, the dad, taking his turn holding Romeo!

Jeana emailed me to let me know how she surprised her children with Romeo coming a day earlier than they thought. She said, "I had him in a small carrier and put him on the counter like it was my camera bag. Jillian was making pudding and looked up and started screaming. The boys and Julianna jumped out of the pool and came running in . . . the rest is history! So now because he is so loveable and totally goes for the ladies, he is called Romeo. Right now he is asleep on my lap as I type away."

We just received an update on Romeo. Jeana writes that Romeo had his vet appointment and reports, "He weighed 3 lbs., 3 oz. and didn’t even flinch when he got his shot. (The vet) said that he looked great, handled the plane ride beautifully and seemed to be very well adjusted to us already. He comes when we call him and loves to play..." "He is just awesome Risa and we love him!!!! Everyone who has heard that we got a new puppy has said that I’ve lost my mind, then take one look at him and totally understand." "We played the video with your voice on it and when you called “hi boys”, Romeo came running! We are doing our best, but I’m sure he misses being spoiled by you!"

Jeana, I feel sure that your best is fantastic and even Romeo would agree with that if he could! Thanks for loving my little guy!!! - Risa

Ace was the only one in his litter... a very special guy! He is also the first Maltezu we have had here at our home. He was quite a joy while he was here. He was a very lively and playful little fellow! It was a nice cross between his Shih Tzu mom and Maltese dad.

Weldon sent updated pictures of his precious boy, Ace Bandit, and writes, "I am sending you some recent pictures of Ace! He is the best dog I have ever owned. Some people ask me if he is half human because he is so smart and thinks he is a Pit Bull. lol!! I can't believe he is almost one year old already. The last one I was taking a nap and he was laying over me watching me." Thanks so much, Weldon, for updating us on Ace!
