Bonnie & Jim,

We're checking in from California and sending a recent photo of Jake giving his High Four. My goodness he has sprouted since that first night at Delta Cargo! Everything's good here and Jake's mastering "sit" and "give-me 4"! He's learning how to walk on a leash. We have to tell you we just can't keep our eyes off of him as he's so handsome, and funny, and awkward! He's a real head turner in this town!

Between Jake and his older brother Freeway the Basset (2 wks older!) there's hasn't been a dull moment! We have big plans and can't wait to explore the countryside through their eyes.

Last item, Bonnie should we be concerned that Jake's paws are the size of the paws on the local bears at Yosemite?!! He checked in at 32.9 lbs. (15 wks) today at the vet!

You are true breeders. Your dogs are spectacular. We were so lucky to stumble upon your site. Or maybe it wasn't luck at all. I'd like to believe the latter.

Forever in your debt,

Bruce & Cheryl

Hi Bonnie & Jim,

I haven't e-mailed you lately to let you know how big Tess has gotten. As you can see she has gotten really big!!! She loves to swim in the pond at least 3 or 4 times a day. Believe it or not we can throw a toy and she will go get it and bring it back to you. Never had a hound that would do that. I guess she thought she had to keep up with Sadie (our Jack Russel) since she does it. Tess is into everything. We can't lay anything down because she will have it the minute you turn your back. She loves to run along side the 4-wheeler. She gets so excited when you start it that she jumps up and lets out a big bawl. She is a very vocal dog. What I mean is she has a sound for when she lays down, a sound for when I am brushing her (like it feels so good), and she also has a sound for when she is worried. When we get home from going somewhere she has a happy-to-see-you sound. It's hard to explain, but if you know her you can read her from these different sounds.

Later, Debbie Casey

Bonnie,
We took some pictures of the girls and thought you would like to see how cute they are. Stella is a lover and a she-devil too. She loves to attack Mimi. Mimi is a real sweetie. She is really mellow and easy going. She loves to cuddle up with you and is the first one to give kisses and greet you. Stella is more high maintenance definate princess material. My son tell everyone that Stella is like Chinese food. Sweet and Sour. Stella is more my daughter dog pink diamond collar and all. Mimi is more my sons. But we love them both. And to tell you the truth Stella has the personality of our old girl Brittany which makes her really fun to have. They are both 17 pounds and get their Nu-Vet Plus vitiamins and peanut oil everyday. I put my old boy on them too. He really has added energy. He getting along with his sisters. He is funny because he does not want to play with them but has to be near them. Thank you for everything.

We could not be happier with our new little addition to the family.  He has been a great puppy and we have had very little accidents in the house.  Most of the time he wines just before he has to go to the bathroom, so we know to put him outside!!! We love him to death and could not thank y'all enough.

Thanks,

Bonnie-

I have been wanting to email you all week to THANK YOU so much for these wonderful babies. I will send you a photo soon of them with all of us. We have done everything as you instructed us. Samantha took them to the vet on Thursday and they could not say enough about their great health which shows what a terrific breeder (you two) they come from. Each weigh in at 12lbs. and are to be back to the vet on the 3rd of May.  
They are truly loved here Bonnie.

Thank you-

Julie

Hey Bonnie and Jim,
 
T-Bone is doing great and we all love him so much!  We just got back from our vacation last night.  He traveled so well, we couldn't believe it!  He is a little stubborn on his leash, most of the time we have to end up picking him up to move him.  I think with time, he'll grow out of that!  He is doing pretty well with his house training.  He has never pooped on the floor yet and today will make a week that he's been with us!  We are blessed to have him, he is going to be a wonderful companion for us.  Everyone has loved him, my mother even says she wants a bassett!  I will keep sending updates on him and will send a picture of him a little later on.  Thanks again for helping us find him, he's one in a million!

Hi Jim and Bonnie.

I wanted you to meet Howard. It took us 4 days to name him. Everyone
liked something different. But I think we are all pleased to finally be able to call him something other than puppy. He is doing great. However he urinates more that any dog I have ever seen. I don't know where he holds it all! Beginning to do well going outside, but still loves to mess up the carpet as well. I don't think that will last too much longer. He is still quite lonely in his cage at night. Do you have any suggestions for making him more comfortable?

Could you also please send me a picture of his mom and dad. I know Bonnie
you tried but it never came through. You can send it to me at work if you
like.

I will send you more photos of Howard as he begins to grow.

Thanks again.

duke is doing great. he is quite a water dog. loves to get into the pool. will jump in as you can see on one of the photos. he and dixie have a great time although at times he drives her crazy. i think she was depressed for a while after we got duke home. it looked like she was saying ok he can leave now. but now i think she is happy to have the company. duke is a little rough with her sometimes. he pulls on her ears and she must have a lot of patience because she rarely snaps at him to make him stop what do you think of dixie. i think they will have good pups if and when we breed. she is great. she has a very pleasing personality and is very lovable. her favorite place is in the recliner sitting on my lap.

hope you enjoy the pictures

Hi Bon
Thanks for the kind words about the CD. I'm happy you enjoyed it.  This little hound dog is great.  We gave him a visit to the vet and she said he is in great shape, weighs 17 lbs. He and the other one we already have get along great. He has a very sweet personality and his ears are awesome. Hope all is well with you guys. Oh yeah, we named him "Reggie"

Subject: Thanks for the Adorable Little Puppy

Folks,

Thanks so much for the little puppy. He is very handsome and well mannered. My older female basset hound is becoming fond of him. I am surprised how big he is, especially those paws. I believe he will be a big one some day. He sleeps with me and the other dog and uses the doggy door already. Very smart indeed this boy. I have named him Samson, a strong, passionate and heroic reputation for him to live up to. My mother, a life long Basset Hound owner, loves him and of course has bought every toy, treat and specialized food you can imagine. The house looks like Pets Mart. And as you would guess, his favorite things are an old shoe and chasing his older sister in the yard.

Have a great day and I will send you more updates soon.

Steve

Hi, sorry I'm just now responding - it's been a busy week so far!. Daphne is doing fine. Saturday morning was a little rough because she was missing her mom and siblings and whimpering and whining a lot. We took her with us Saturday to pick up Hobbs at the vet. I was planning to stay outside and let him meet her away from home (I heard somewhere that you want the old dog to meet the new dog away from the house so he won't feel threatened and like his territory is being invaded - ha!). Well, they insisted that I bring her in so they could all check her out and needless to say, they thought she was adorable. Our vet started snapping pictures (he's a big picture taker) of her and of Hobbs meeting her. We took her back to the vet on Wednesday with your shot schedule. I guess every vet has their own opinion, so he is using the shot you gave her the first part of April to go by and he's not going to give her her next one for a couple of weeks. He says they are really too young before age 8 weeks for any of the shots to do much good, but that breeders tend to give them early to cover all the bases. Anyway, he gave her her first heartworm medicine and a fecal test. As if you didn't know, she didn't have any worms. Hobbs really likes her, but you were right, he is definitely too rough right now. We let them play with each other a little while (usually with me holding onto his collar) and then we will put her in our big open metal crate while he's in the house and they sit there and bark at and taunt each other through the bars! Daphne definitely has a high opinion of her ferociousness! But she is doing great, pooping and peeing everywhere!. I'll try to send some pictures when we get some developed. Talk to you soon, Betsy.
