Hi Martha & Tom!

We hope all is well. Our Chloe turned one on 8/7/07. She has been a
wonderful addition to our family. As you probably remember, my
brother Ron and his girlfriend Becka picked her up for us last
December.

She came to us with great manners. She's been a love since day one.
She has chewed a few tv remotes, but that's about it. She is very
mellow and always happy.

Chloe loves to play fetch with the tennis ball. She brings it right back
and puts in the lacrosse stick net. She also likes to swim. A new dog
park opened up nearby with a fenced in pond and she loves to play
there. We've met a few other doodles there.

We're going to try to attach some pictures. Please let us know if you
receive them.

We just wanted to say THANK YOU for everything yesterday. We had
such a memorable trip! Kelsey and Kozmo are perfect parents and the
puppies are just beautiful. Thank you for opening up your home to us. Jack
and Tommy have a BIG thank you for letting them into your pool! They talk
about your really cool pool more then they talk about our new addition to
our family. Boys will be boys... hu? Katelyn on the other hand is
completely smitten with Molly and is already driving us crazy as to when
the puppy will finally be home. It's going to be a L O N G 4 weeks!!!

We'll e-mail again to see how our Molly is doing. We miss her lots!!! Please
give her hugs and licks for us !

Thanks again,

The Pallis Family

Hi Tom and Martha,

Molly made it home Saturday without any problems. She didn't fuss or get
sick at all. Once we arrived at home the neighbors all came over, some
with gifts, to greet their new neighbor. Everyone took a seat on the front
lawn as Molly went from lap to lap. She really did enjoy herself.

Molly has been doing very well with her potty training. Very few accidents,
and if she has an accident it's usually our fault for not paying attention to
the signs. She is responding to her name. We started giving her a goodie
reward when she would come back in the house after going to the
bathroom. Now when entering the house she sits right down and looks up as
if it say, "ahem, I'm ready for my treat".
She is getting used to her crate. She has been crying to go out after
about three hours in the crate at night. We're not sure if it's her bladder
or she's just training us to play with her at night. Time will tell.

The Kids really love her, including the day care kids as well. You can see
she looks as the kids as her peers. It really is nice to see them bond. All
said, Kim and I are very impressed with our little lady. She is a very
exceptional dog. I know she is still very young, but it's easy to see that
she is going to grow up to be a great dog.
We are going to the vet on Thursday. We will be sure to give you an
update and send some pictures soon.
Take Care,
Bill and Kim Pallis

Tom & Martha,

Thought you would like a couple of pictures of Jackson.
Jackson is doing well, he has mastered the house training well,
the clicker works very well so as soon as he goes outside, he
does his business and looks for a click and treat. He also is
learning to sit and recognize his name.
I took him to the vets on Friday and he is in great physical
condition! Will return in early Oct for shots.
Sleeps well, eats well and is getting lots of love.
Thanks for everything!

Hi Martha and Tom,

How are both of you and all your pups?!

I have been meaning to write sooner but it has been quite a month for
us!! Not only adjusting to having Bailey and learning about him but dealing
with other real life issues just to keep life interesting. Anyway, Bailey is
doing great. He’s at 12 weeks now of course and weighing about 16
pounds. The Vet says he’s a little on the thin side and to feed him more so
of course we will. He may have had a reaction to the vaccines on
Wednesday so we had a trip to the emergency vet but he’s fine now. Our
hardest problem is the nipping but we’re working on that; also working on
not biting his leash. He has learned “sit”, “down” and “come” and
sometimes just with hand signals. He’s pretty good with “stay” if we’re
training and giving treats. We’re trying the bell to signal to go out but
often it’s just a fascinating toy to pull on and make lots of noise! He
usually responds pretty well when we say “outside”, “let’s go home”,
“where’s Kevin?”, “get your stick”. He does well riding in the car – short
trips around town and longer trips to the Cape.

We gave him the first bath here last weekend. He looked so awesome
after bathing and brushing! One of the pictures was taken just after that
but doesn’t really show just how great he really looked.

We all love him of course but our son Kevin especially is totally taken by
him – I think he is still amazed that he finally has a dog! The other
picture is of Kevin and Bailey at one of our favorite beaches near our
place on Cape Cod. It was taken September 23 and he seems much bigger
since then (Bailey, not Kevin!!).

You both did an amazing job in raising Bailey in his first 8 weeks!! We
have a wonderful dog that is a complete hit not only with us but also with
our family, friends and neighborhood!
We’ll be in touch periodically and we hope you will too!

hi tom and martha:
i forgot how much she weighed last time at the vet's..but i will
email you some photos to show you how BIG she is
that and the whiteness and the furrines of her is why we started
to call her "pb" "polar bear" that is
when i first got her i wrote her a song called "polar bear"
"...polar bear polar bear sails the seas
polar bear polar bear climbs the trees
polar bear polar bear i love you
polar bear polar bear where'd you hide my shoe?"
etc ad nauseum
when i sing to her she puts her BIG head on my shoulder and opens
her mouth and sighs
so very very cute
we would love to see you and the pups anytime
people always stop and admire pb and say how beautiful she is
and some think she is an old woman in the back seat of the car
when i'm in the shop and out of the car
she loooooves everyone!!! and everyone loves her!!!
one client when he first saw her said: "that's the biggest lapdog
i've ever seen"
and that's how we think of her, as a lap dog, and forget about her
size until she jumps up and you're now face to fact with that
"lapdog"
she is always happy
the other morning i realized that i had never ever heard her cry
i love her more than anything
and i always tell people the story of how i got her...calling the
number in the paper...talking to tom from my friend's law office
that saturday morning "what's the curly-hair quotient" i asked,
because she had to have curly hair like my ripley did
and how i was so nervous going to your house...i was still in the
deepest depression over the death of ripley
and because of that i hadn't been working and borrowed the money
that saturday from my friend to put a deposit on her
and i tell people how truly kind and caring you both were when i
told you i only had half the money and could you save her for me
until monday when i would get the rest of the money, and you
saved my life by letting me take her that very day, and had to
wait for your money until i could scrounge it up to pay you
how grateful i was and still am and how often i tell that story to
everyone, judges, lawyers, clients, etc.
and because of that kindness, sailor came into my life, and she
saved my life with her joy and loving and just her.
thank you so much for your kindness. i will always remember that,
always. and now i'm crying thinking of ripley and loving her and
seeing sailor walking around my office looking for a "bouncy ball" so
i can throw it to her and not do my law work

Martha and Tom,

I don't think we were a mile from your house before my son and I
switched off in the backseat. Bella was a little anxious, but after awhile
dozed off in my arms. She's settling into her new home just fine. My
sister is a huge dog lover and came over to see her new "niece," and even
brought treats. As for my youngest daughter, Tom will remember her
unwillingness to get close to the dogs at your house but...
She can't get enough - and trust me, we keep telling her to give the pup
some room! - of her new friend, Belly; no, that's not a typo, she adds a
'Y' to everything she really likes - so we're taking the Bella/Belly thing
as a good sign.

On a personal note, I was greatly touched by the care-package loaded
with information and toys that we received. Even before we came for
her, from the pictures you sent and posted on your site, it's obvious how
much these dogs mean to you. I just wanted to thank you for offering
your support while we adjust to having our new dog at home.

I shall periodically send photo updates, again thanks so much!

Best,
Rebecca

Hi Tom and Martha -

Dazzle was wonderful on the way to Nantucket from your house. She
did not wet on me at all, (we stopped twice so she could pee) and rarely
cried. We did not stop to visit her Dad, so we could catch the 5:30
p.m. plane home. When we got into the terminal, there was a small
toddler with his Mom. Dazzle just ran up to him, licked him all over, and
was soooo excited to see something her size. It was sweet, and her
enthusiasm was reciprocated as well.
Last night, I sat with her while she went to sleep in the crate. She
woke up once in the night, and after a brief visit from me, fell asleep
again for five hours! We have explored the backyard twice, and visited
the children next door. The cats and she are wary of each other, and
we are keeping an eye out for the intitial interaction.
I think she misses you, her home and siblings, but all is going well so
far.
Thank you for giving her such a great beginning.

More later, Helen Trebby

Hi Martha and Tom!

I just wanted to let you know that Fiona is doing absolutely great! By Sunday afternoon, she had
completely explored our yard, even venturing a little into the woods (with us on her heels). She
also mastered the steps up our deck (13 of them) by Sunday. She loves her crate during the day,
a little less so at night, but she's getting better. We are all having a blast with her - my mom
visits her "granddaughter" every day. Oh, and that "bully stick" you gave me - she had it nearly
gone in a single day. She's friendly to everyone - we especially love how she greets each of us as
we come downstairs in the morning. All the neighborhood kids and several cousins have come to
meet her, and she's been friendly and affectionate with everyone. What a great temperment!

She had her vet visit yesterday and passed with flying colors. Got her kennel cough vaccine and is
lined up to get her next shots at 12 weeks. I'll send some pictures soon.

Thank you again for Fiona - she's so sweet and smart, and we already can't imagine our house
without her!

Hi Martha and Tom,

We are all enjoying Finley so much. He is a great puppy. So loving and gentle. We are very
lucky. Christian, our oldest, really pitches in with Finley's care. He is so helpful. Thank you for
all the advice - esp. the radio at night. He was lonely the first few nights and now with the
radio he is doing really good with the crate at night. He loves being with us at all times,
following us from room to room - so sweet.

Feel free to use what ever pictures you'd like on the website... I am sure the boys would love
to see themselves on there.

Take care and we will be in touch - I will keep sending you photos so you can see how well
Finley is doing.

P.S. Met a guy who has a labradoodle who lives in Dean Estates today - he says he knows of
Jacoby and Beckett. Also, a neighbor of ours believes their friends on Fox Ridge Drive -
bought there new labradoodle from you as well. It is a female and I believe it was one from
