Sheila, Well everything has been going really good with Ava home now. The first night we got no sleep at all because she slept in our room in her crate. My husband at this minute is taking a nap to still dry and catch up from what he lost that night. ha! ha! Friday was probably one of the best days I've had in so long, I stayed home with her, I held her a lot and tried to play with her with a chewy toy but she was scared of the thing. It probably looked like a big orange monster with a bunch of prongs coming off it for puppies to chew on when there teething, she was scared of him. Saturday, yesterday she definitely was comfortable finally with her new home and all her toys. She played with 4 of them constantly, even orange scary monster. We would move our hands across the carpet and she would chase them growling and barking, it was hilarious. We all had a lot of fun. She really came out of her shell and amazed us with so many new things she now does. We would play and then she would just stop and look at me with that adorable face like "What do you want to do now mom?" I absolutely love her and so does my husband. I woke up this morning smelling her puppy breath, which woke me up real quick then opened my eyes and there she was all ready to play, what a way to wake up on a Sunday morning, it was nice. As far as her name goes we named her( Ava Wa-Sti-La Wan-Ji), which translates to this, Ava means "Life", Wa-Sti-La means "Little" and Wan-Ji means "One" so if you put it all together it basically means 'Life of our Little One". Its Oglala Lakota which is the tribe I'm from. All in all were all healthy, happy and doing good. Thank you so much for everything you've done, you've given us a beautiful animal in more ways that one. Kathleen D

Sheila,

Just a quick note to let you know that Sir Oliver Quigley has brought endless joy and happiness to our home! His playful little personality and loving spirit have gained him many friends outside the home too! He goes to work with me every day and has a little bed under my desk as well as a basket of toys which he plays with constantly! He enjoys shopping trips and has several bags which he likes to travel in which provide plenty of space for him to play and stand up if he wants! He’s so good that I’ve been able to take him to restaurants without anyone suspecting that I have a stowaway in the bag at my feet! Of course, he always has access to food and water while he’s in there! He’s been so easy to train and already knows a couple of fun tricks as well as how to come and sit on command. Although sometimes his playfulness gets the best of him and he wants to be chased rather than coming right away! At 24 weeks he weighs in at 3 lbs! I adore this little boy! Needless to say, he gets loads of attention and my girls love to play with him! He is the BEST! I’ve attached a couple of pictures to this email – these are several weeks old now. I’ll also send you a more recent one as soon as I get it off my camera!

Take care and again, thank you for raising such a wonderful little guy! He’s a well-loved little prince!

Hi Sheila,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that our little darlings are doing so well! Oliver is three and a half now – he’s still our little prince. He loves to be held and snuggles with us every chance he gets. He’s very protective when strangers are around. It’s funny because he’s so tiny and yet he thinks he is a Great Dane! We thought he had matured into a quiet little pup, but when Bailey came along last year, he became very playful. Now they tumble around my feet in the mornings and play together for the better part of each day. At just over a year old, Bailey is our wild child! She has so much energy and loves to run on the beach! She is completely fearless and keeps us laughing every day. It’s so nice to have two of them to keep each other company. They’ve brought pure joy into our lives

Hope all is well with you. I check the website every so often just to see the fluffy little puppies! Too cute

Warm regards

Vanessa

Sheila,

We just wanted to let you know that Roxie Hart is doing wonderfully.

She is completely spoiled in every way possible, and we just can't get

enough or her. She is a very playful and a tough little girl. She had

learned to play fetch and walk on a leash and we will soon be working on

other tricks. She loves to play fetch and sometime will do it for hours

with her favorite ball. Roxie also love riding in the car, on the

motorcycle in her special harness (very safe and we don't travel more

than a few blocks) and going to friend and relatives houses that have

other dog she can play with. Roxie has a few different bags and carriers

for when she travels, and a big collection of clothing and bows that she

loves to wear. This month Roxie is 10 months old and currently weighs 5

pounds, she is in perfect health and she has also has been spayed. She

will be traveling with us in a few days to Colorado, soon she will be

exploring everything out there; we expect that everything will go

smoothly and she has had a through check up with the vet. We are both so

in love with Ms. Roxie Hart, and look forward to every new day with her.

Both Chad and I want to thank you for caring for such a wonderful pup,

and bring her into our lives! We are also sending a photograph of her

taken a few months ago and we will send you a more recent one as soon as

we can. Thank you again for this beautiful little girl.

Thank You

Chad, Cherish, and Roxie

This is a little Huggsme girl from her last litter.

Hi Sheila,

I haven't written in a while and I just wanted to let you know that things are going very well. Our beautiful little Chewy is beautiful and very healthy. She is a joy to have around and everywhere we take her she is adored by all. She is 5 months old now and her coat is beginning to change slightly (we are hoping she will keep a bit of the darker colors). She was 3 pounds 4 ounces 2 weeks ago at her vet check. She loves her little outfits, being brushed, and getting her hair done. She is fully housebroken and so intelligent. We couldn't be happier with her and we thank you again for all of your help in getting her to us in our time frame and finding just the right puppy for our home.

I am sending a picture of Chewy taken about a week ago.

Thank you so much!

Sheila,

Sorry we haven't Emailed you about Otto but things have been busy lately.

Our family is so thrilled with Otto and we love him so much, we can't thank

you enough for our addition to our family.  He is doing very well and he now

weighs 3.2 lbs.  He is very active and loves to play.  I have taken him to

Puppy Training and he graduated last Saturday.  He will sit, lay, drop it,

and a few other things on command.

He loves to play with a little squeaky toy and he mastered our stairs in the

house very quickly.  He is very friendly with other people and mild

mannered.  He decided he liked to play with the toilet paper rolls in the

bathroom and decided it would be fun to unroll it and string it down the

stairs as far as he could.  He is almost over that.  We are having so much

fun with him and he brings us so much joy.  Mike took him in the pet store

the other day and walked him around to get him a better leash and a new toy.

  He had a lot of fun showing him off and he said he was very well behaved.

We will send some more pictures soon, but this one is of his graduation from

Puppy Training.  Again, thank you so much for our Otto, it was because of

you he had the great start and we really appreciate it.

Talk to you later,

Diana & Mike Butler

Otto meeting his brother, Rudy for the first time.

Sheila,

He is a little angel…..all potty trained in-house, will sit upon request and chase a ball and bring it back. He loves the pet park and has taken up with another Maltese, Cody, his same age, but Cody’s 3 x his size. They have a great time running and chasing. He tends to want to go with the big dogs…go figure.

He goes to meet the new vet and get on heartguard on Thursday and next Monday for a full groom. He is such a good boy although he really hates me to go anywhere without him. Some places he just can’t go, like to a board meeting. I feel awful leaving him but it’s just something he’ll need to learn like everything else. Not everything is fun. He is never left for long, but he catches on so quickly, I hope he learns I will be right back, but he’s still not liking that at all. He knows bye-bye and treat real well. He sees me put on shoes and he goes crazy until I put his carrier on the floor and he jumps in. He is such a smart little guy. Upon return from the pet park, he is totally exhausted, even if he doesn’t play much, he’s outside and he snoozes all the way home.

I have given your website to many people that have asked about the breed.

Hope all is well at Kingdompups.

Pat
