Hi Laurie.                            

 I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you thank you and let you know how much we love Ellie!  She is a wonderful puppy and has transitioned so well into our family and our home.  From the beginning we have been impressed with her.  She has slept through the night every night with no interruptions.  She has never been timid or afraid of us, our children or our dog, Truman.  Instead, she has shared lots of kisses with us all, especially Truman!  In the week since we got her, she has had only one potty accident in our house, and that was my fault because I wasn't watching her.  The crate training you did with her has made this a much more enjoyable week than we expected.  Our vet was very impressed with her as well.  She said it was evident she was bred well and very healthy.  It was a hard decision whether or not to take on the added responsibility of a new puppy, and we want you to know how much we appreciate your patience with us.  You were always so kind and understanding, and willing to answer questions.  After talking with so many breeders, it was refreshing to find one that we could trust to be honest and not just tell us what we want to hear.  We are so grateful for your integrity.  I've attached some pictures so you can see how perfect she fits with our kids.  You should get a huge laugh out of our 3 year old hanging out in the crate with her!  She is still beautiful as you can see.  Thanks again!

Hi Laurie,  

Great to hear from you. Sorry we haven't been in touch - as you predicted, things have been quite busy with the school year starting up here.

 Allyson and Patricks Aussiedoodle Remy!

Hi Laurie:

Thanks for the pictures of Wally - he's gorgeous!!!  Remy is doing so so well :)  She's almost 14 weeks and had her vet appointment this afternoon - everything looks great!  She weighs a wooping 16 lbs and is growing like a weed!  But she's beautiful - really, perfect.  She's getting so long and tall - she has these knobby little elbows and hip bones - they're too cute.  She's eating like a horse, and getting lots of exercise.  The training is coming along very well - she has sit, down, stay, and come nailed down.  Now we're working on heal.  We're so proud of her!  And it's like you said - she really enjoys the training - she receives tons of treats and praise, who wouldn't like it?!?!

She's going through this really aggresive teething stage.  She hasn't damaged anything yet, but it's only a matter of time.  She seems more interested in books and clothes than she does her bones and toys.  But we keep a close eye on her and try to keep her busy.  I have taken more photos but need to upload them to my computer and promise to send them soon.

Hope all is well with you, 

Take care,

 Ali and Jeremys puppy Pixel!

  Pixel is an Aussiedoodle  being prepared to be a service dog and we can hardly wait to see how he grows up.

Hi Laurie-

Just wanted to send you an update!

Pixel is doing great!  He's had a very exciting week.  He weighed 13.3 pounds on Saturday when he went in for his boosters.   

He is all full of puppy excitement and wonder.  He got to visit his first store this weekend.  We put him in a shopping cart and rolled him around Walmart for an hour or so.  He was very curious for about the first 10 minutes and stood up and sniffed and looked at everything around him.  Then he just passed out and enjoyed the ride! 

Still no accidents!  Not even at other people's houses.  He seems to have an innate understanding of the "potty rules".  Even when we are outdoors he will look for an area away from groups of people to do his business. 

Tomorrow Pixel and I are off on a 3 day road trip to Eugene, Oregon.  We are going to visit Jeremy's family and some friends.  He loves the car so much.  I think he's going to have a great time.  I bought him a car harness so he can safely sit in the seat without having to be in his crate for the entire trip. 

Pixel got his first haircut yesterday.  I thought it was a little too warm for so much fuzz so I took the clippers to him.  He didn't seem to like the idea too much at first but it really did seem to help him quite a bit while we were on our afternoon outing. 

 Still no internet access at home :(  I promise I'll send pictures as soon as I can get online from my computer.  Hope all is well with you and the rest of the pups!
