Merry Christmas!
We're sending these pictures of Lexi to show you what a pretty
dog she is. She looks like her dad in the face but has mom's coat.
She is always playful and super sweet. We will send a copy of her
spay papers soon.

Bogie is great. Has a personality that is just the
sweetest. He is getting so big. We joke about the
fact that he is like Clifford the big red dog
because he just keeps growing. He is now up to 12
lbs and he is not overweight! Bogie is solid. Too
be honest I don't mind it one bit because I wonder
if that helps his personality with the kids. I can
tell you that he has NEVER meet a stranger.
Everyone is his friend.
I did get your (business) cards and I'm down
to my last few. It is amazing to see how many
people don't know anything about mini or toy
aussie's. Aussie's themselves are the most popular
breed out here...I think because it is rather
agricultural close by....but no one knows that you
can get them in a smaller size.
I had a lady ask to take pictures of him over the
weekend. She was completely taken by him.
By the way if anyone needs references from you please know that
I would be thrilled to help.
Thanks,
Patty

15.5 lbs about 3 weeks ago. Isn't it amazing.
He isn't that tall though, just really solid.
I can't get him to stay still long enough to see how
tall he is, but from the little I could gather he is
only about 14 or 15 " tall. I guess he is more of a
small mini than a toy. That gives me an excuse to buy
another one : )!
Here are pictures that I just took of him today.
Take care

Hi Devona
Joy learned to go out the doggy door yesterday. She has been
coming in the doggy door for a while, she just has not been
going out. She is so proud, she goes out to see the big girls
and then comes back to see what I am doing. Wednesday while I
was at work and she was in the bathroom, she discovered the
toilet paper, I cleaned up the mess and then I was off yesterday
and this morning when I went to work I forgot to take it off and
put it on the sink, she got into again and when I came home this
afternoon she was wound up in and the more she did her twirling
the more she got tangled in it. It was hilarious should have
been something for America's Funniest Videos. She is eating
great now, I cut her to twice a day and she started eating
better, I guess she was a little more hungry. I have to take
one of the Shelties for a rabies shot, so I will take her and
weigh her on the vet scale. She looks like a shrunken down
Aussie now, she doesn't look like a puppy anymore. She has her
adult teeth in the front, but the canines are still puppy
teeth. Have you had any issues with them not loosing their
puppy canines, I know when I worked at the vet for some reason
the little dogs often had their adult teeth come in and the
puppy teeth were still there, so the puppy teeth had to be
pulled. She still prefers the dry food with some canned food,
but will eat some dry, but not enough to keep up with her energy
level. I am not opposed to feeding her the canned food too,
should I just give up trying to make her eat only the dry kibble
or keep trying to get to eat her entire meal dry. She only gets
few teaspoons of the canned food mixed with about a 1/4 or less
of Small Breed Formula twice a day. Sandy
I know my food's gotta be in here somewhere!

I found my food now I just need a pot to cook it in!

hi devona
bubba is alive and well and living in east haven. at almost 6
months,
he seems to be almost full grown. he is 13" at the sholder and
weighs over 14 lbs. i think he has lost all of his baby teeth and
his long hair is growing in and it realy shines.
the vet says he is in perfect health. bubba isthriving on his
artimus dog food and has yet to taste people food.
when he is active he is realy active, and when he is quiet he
loves to curl up on the couch pillows or on any available lap.
bubba is a real joy!
we'll keep in touch,

hi Devona,
Here are our most recent pictures of Bubba, taken thanksgiving
weekend.
Bubba got fixed nov. 1st. At that time, he measured 15 1/2 " at
the shoulder and 21 poundes. I think we have to stop calling him a
toy aussie.
Toy or mini, Bubba is a joy to have around! He has all the energy
an aussie should have outdoors, and indoors he is happy to lie on
the couch with his head on Sophie's or my lap. He's the perfect
aussie.
happy new year,
Tom and Sophie

Devona,
I was on the website looking at all of the sooo cute pictures of
the puppies, and was wondering if you still had any pictures of
Brumby as a pup that you could send (and I will send some more pics
soon, too, I promise!) He is doing quite well, and even seems
to have made friends with the cat (Bradley), who has started chasing
him around the house! He has, however, discovered his "voice"
the last couple of weeks and likes to try it out - a lot!
Thanks again,
Ashley
