He is always so excited to see us and gives us a million kisses before he will even pee (I even sent a picture of him kissing me!). He had a vet appointment this weekend and now weighs 3 lbs 3 ounces so is growing quite well! He is also so funny. We have a bucket that we keep all of his toys in and when we play with him, his favorite thing to do is to pull each toy out individually, line them up on the floor, and then show us how he can attack each one!! He puts this show on for us just about every day and has the best time! He's also very smart; he has very few accidents by now, and already knows "sit" and "come"! Our trainer was so impressed and she kept saying she couldn't believe the personality and confidence he has for such a little guy. thank you again so much for everything. We couldn't be happier with our decision to bring Manny into our family!!! He's the best!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful puppy with me. I will always be grateful to you."

    Sandra recently sent us an update on Bandit. "Our precious child is doing great!!!! He is now 6 pounds and 10 ounces. Favorite toy is a small red rubber ball that lights up when it has movement. He carries it around with him all the time and sometimes he will go to the top of the stairs, drop the ball down the stairs and then runs down the stairs to see if he can beat it—sometimes he wins, sometimes the ball wins. Although now that I think about it, his favorite toy may be the two cats. He loves jumping down from my bed but would not jump up so I brought him some puppy steps so now he has control of everything in the house including ME!!!

"She pounced on the vet as soon as he opened the door. He laughed and asked if she were an attack dog! He was amazed that she was so outgoing-said she has a great personalityand that normally small breeds, and especially one her age, usually hid behind their masters but not this one! She is a live wire and so cute and cuddly! We are making strides in our potty training too. No accidents in the house this week!"

    I recently saw Sassy Baby's mom at a meeting in Little Rock, AR and she gave me updated pictures! Karan told me how spoiled and loved her baby girl Maltipoo is! They love her so much and she says Sassy Baby is so comical! "She keeps up laughing," Karan says.


    Thanks to all of our wonderful families who have adopted these babies into their lives and homes! We've enjoyed being able to meet some of you in person or even if we were only able to know you just over the phone, we feel that we have made new friends! It's a wonderful feeling to us to be able to make new friends all because of a precious little puppy!
