Dear Shelba,
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how Zeus is doing.
He is quite the "ham" and everyone who meets him loves him. I am
working with him on socialization because he tends to be a bit timid.
Zeus is afraid of moving objects such as bikes, strollers, children,
ect. and new sounds send him hiding. He is gradually getting braver
and I am really enjoying him. He just had his castration surgery on
July 2 and is doing great. He is now over 9 pounds and is growing
like a weed. I am curious to see how much he weighs next week when
he has his followup visit with Dr. Zwart. Zeus is becoming quite the traveler and
loves to go to the parks and lakes with me and Dino. He climbs in his car crate and
naps so he is ready for adventure when we reach our destination. He an Dino ( my
older Shiba)are becoming good friends. Dino is very patient with his
little buddy's antics although he has to correct Zeus some times.
Zeus had his first experience trying to fetch a stick ( one of his
favorite games is fetch) from the water and decided he does not like
going in the lake. He stood on the shore and waved his paw at the stick trying to get
it to return to him. We have begun working on obedience together and is doing much
betterwalking on the leash now. He loves it when I put the 26ft retractable
on him so he can run and feel like he is free. I have been using it
to working on recall and Zeus is doing very well with the command
although I know that Zeus's response would probably be different if
he was off leash.I have attached some recent pictures of Zeus so you can
see how he is growing. These were taken at the lake on July 4th.
Sincerely,
Pam Shelton

I am emailing you right now while the kids are napping with myra. she is awesome. Everyone loves
her. this morning we took her to the vets and she got her first lyme shot. Evelina bought her new
small balls to chase. we have been so busy. the kids love her. this morning at 6:15 evelina's toes
were hanging over her bed and myra licked them. she woke up evelina and you should of seen her
face. evelina had a huge smile and said "myra, i love you." everyone loved it at the airport watching
evelina and myra meeting for the first time. The flight came from Texas and there was older women
with the southern accent saying oh look at that little girl and her new puppy. Evelina said in front of
everyone Myra i love you and i am going to take you home!!! the older ladies ate it up.. evelina told
myra about the picture of her on her bedroom wall. My one year old alonso and evelina like to have
myra follow them through the house. the kida showed her their rooms. Myra is the baby.. When we
walk her outside she likes to lick the kids toes (they are wearing sandals.) i cant explain how great
she is. Oh we gave her her first bath here. She is so tiny. we have a double sink and she fits in the
one side no problem. that was our family activity after lunch and before nap today. the kids are crazy
about her. they won't let her out of their sight. she is eating well and drinking well. making sure we
keep the air on in the house because it has been hot here(well hot for upstate ny) nothing compared
to what you have in the south. her poops is so cute. i know that sounds funny. it looks like rabbit poop
so small. I did notice though well i went through her paperwork I don't have the information on
registering her microchip. please email papers please i will try to have the kids and i call you later.
tonight is bath night for the kids. well it been so hot here every night is bath night. thank you again so
much for our baby
with much love

Hi Shelba, I'm having a little difficulty in sending you this email.
We just want to let you know how much we love this little
stinker and how much we appreciate your bringing him to us!
Here are some pictures of his arrival and the last two weeks or
so that we have had with him. Unlike others we did not change
his name because Cody just seemed to fit!
I just wanted to let you know that we couldnt be any happier
with cowboy. He is the greatest little joy full of life, and
extreme energy. I attatched a couple of pictures from when
he was still a baby. Believe me he has grown quiete a bit
since then though lol. We love him so much we even
considered getting another little Shiba.
Thank you
Burrows Family
Good afternoon Shelba!
Bella (Buffy) is doing awesome! She's made herself quite at home
already haha. I brought her to the Callfield Companion animal clinic
on Tuesday afternoon. She was 2 lbs and 8 oz and got her next
booster. They put her on a plan for her next boosters and rabies
shot, and said she was perfect, which I couldn't agree with more.
Thanks again so much for driving and meeting us.

Shelba,
I just realized that I never sent you pictures of Indy, the
yorkiepoo that I bought from you, well here are some of our
favorites! Sorry it took so long.

Misty's first dog fair
Hi shelba! We had a Wags to Wishes going on last weekend and went
to
our first dog fair. They had a lot of dog clothes so we tried some on
and took some pictures. We kept the neckerchief .... Not the hat. I
didnt want to embarass her LOL


Hi Shelba,
I wanted to give you an update on Gizmo (Sonny). Today is the 5th day that I have had him,
and it already seems hard to imagine life without him! He is so sweet and has the cutest
face. He is very social, and gets along reallly well with everyone and every dog that he
meets. He follows me everywhere and keeps me company when I am doing mundane
house chores. He is definitely a big chewer, he will grab ANYTHING, so I have to watch him
very carefully, but I have a lot of chew toys and bones handy so when he starts to chew on
something that he shouldn't, I give him one and he is just happy as a clam. The vet said he
was very healthy and he is a big boy! He weighed 5.7 pounds at our vet visit. I just wanted
to say how pleased I was with Gizmo's delivery. I was a little nervous about getting a puppy
shipped to me but everything worked out great. He was so happy to see me when I picked
him up at the airport and was such a good boy on the ride home from the airport and didn't
seem frightened at all! I will keep you updated on how he is doing and send pictures as he
grows! Thanks for everything!

Hi Shelba,
It's Angela Mickle. My sister Amy Hester reminded me that I
need to send you new pics of Stella (Ella), sorry about the
delay. Somehow when we got her home her name
affectionately changed from Ella to Stella! She is the sweetest
thing ever! Every where we go people love her and want to
know what kind of dog she is! She has house broken so easy
too. She loves our kids so much and was even kind of sad
when the boys went back to school last week! Anyway, wanted
to let you know that we really love her and she is doing great!
Thanks again,
Angela
She weighs 5lbs14ozs. She's full of energy and still loves
to eat!! She is doing really well - We adore her! We will
definitely stay in touch with updates and pictures.
Love,
Chris Ellis
Happy Halloween, Shelba! My first
Halloween Costume!
Love,
Lexi Ellis (Candace)
Hi Shelba,
We took Dolly (we call her Sushi, she loves the sound of it) to the vet and she is perfectly healthy. She is a very
smart little girl. Potty training was very easy, I took her outside once or twice and after that she knew exactly
where to go, she had no accidents. She is very socialized and seems to like everyone. We started obedience
training couple of days ago and she is catching on fast, she understands "come here", "sit" and "lay down"
very well. I am sending you one picture because it is very hard to have her stand still. Thank you so much for a
perfect puppy.
Marina

Dear Shelba,
Our little one has settled right in and she is the most popular girl in the neighborhood. I cannot begin to tell
you how thrilled we are with the way you had her socialized and how well cared for she was. She seems
poised beyond belief, handles new people, new dogs, and new situations with aplomb! She scared my 10
pound "grand-puppy" to death just trying to be friendly (boy, did we laugh).
and barrel and is already using the Pet Loo quite often all on her own (oh, she has plenty of little accidents,
but she REALLY loves treats and she gets one every time she remembers to use the Pet Loo). She has
been so good in her crate at night that believe it or not, we've had full nights' sleep from the day she came
home to us. The first night, I woke up frequently because I couldn't believe she was still sleeping, but she
was still snoozing away. She does seem to have a split personality: miss sweet and wonderful, gentle little
one AND the Tiger hunter who can race at the speed of light and chew your finger off if you're not careful :-)!
Poor Tiger toy... She has us laughing so hard! She sneaked under my nightgown yesterday, grabbed the
front hem and ran like blazes behind me. She only weighs four pounds, one ounce, but she almost took me
with her. What a character!
I've enclosed a couple of pictures (as you can see, she's not much spoiled) and will send more as she
grows. Thank you again for this wonderful girl, who has been named Phoebe Grace. We wanted to call her
Shelby (sort of in honor of you), but the little twerp refuses to answer to that. There's something about
Phoebe that gets her attention (especially if accompanied by a treat).
Thank you so much for everything.

Hi Shelba!!
I am SO happy and thankful for my new puppy Callie. She is the most beautiful,
loving, playful and HEALTHY puppy! We went to the vet today and she got a
wonderful report! She weighs 6 1/2 lbs and got her second round of puppy shots.
She was so brave and everyone loved her. Callie has had only a couple accidents
in the house and has already learned to sit! She is so smart. I have attached
pictures of her from when we first picked her up from the airport to her first vet
appointment. I can't wait to spend all of my time with her. Thank you for such an
amazing dog! I will keep in touch and let you know how she is doing.
Thank you!! :)
Lindsay
Hi Shelba,
Sorry it took so long to get some pictures to you. We love having Zoey in our home and have
grown to love her so much already. She is adorable and has been a perfect little puppy! I hope
you enjoy these pictures!
Thanks so much,
Karen
I got him and he is a perfect angel!! Everyone gets along. I'll be sure to
send you pictures. Here are a few from our first day together :D
