Hi Kim,
I wanted to give you an update on Cooper and
Myles. Myles turned 1 on Monday. My parents came
to visit for a few days so we took this picture
yesterday. Myles is doing great with my parents.
He just finished a second training class and
graduated 2 weeks early! My mom is very proud!
It was her first time going through a training
class and she plans to do more. The trainer said
he's one smart little guy and a great candidate
for Canine Good Citizen so she's thinking about
doing that with him. They are also going to
install the invisible fence once the snow is
gone. He keep them laughing..a big ham! Cooper
is also doing great. He's almost 4 which is hard
to believe. He spent last weekend at Profile and
Cindy said he was more active and seems much
happier. The whole situation couldn't have
worked out better. My parents are completely in
love with Myles and he has become very attached
to them. We will see him again in 2 weeks.
Hope all is well!

Hi Kim:
Just a quick email with a couple of Pics of
Guinness and Murphy. He's
about 50 pounds now is doing well. Guinness is,
as alway, the best dog in the world.
Best wishes, Jim O'Connor
Kim,
Here's the latest photos of Riggs, she is
absolutely gorgeous...people stop us on the
streets. Bonnie
Hi Kim, Here are some cute pictures of Carver.
He is such a great dog. We get complements every
where we go. He is so handsome! Here are so
funny pics of him. The one of hims swimming was
a while ago. It was his first time really
swimming. You can't get him out of the water
now. We will be looking to get another pup for
my boyfriends Father probably during summer or
early fall. Are you planning on having any
litters around then? Take care!
cheers,Christina
Hi Kim!
How are you? I heard you are no longer in Naples
and are in the Kingfield area? I am living in
Portland now and it’s hard to believe that
Murphy is almost 3 years old. I cannot tell you
how much joy he has brought to my life and how
my joy McGuire has brought to my parents’ lives.
We get them together at least once a week and
spoil them rotten. I am thinking about getting
Murphy another brother or sister :)
I attached a recent pic of Murphy from this
winter…he has such a personality and everyone
who meets him falls in love with him. I hope you
are well, Kim!
Regards, Amy

Hi Kim,
We wanted to let you know that Finn and Kenzie
are doing well, are becoming good sailors, and
are being absolutely adorable. I've attached a
photo of them on our rubber dinghy - they love
the speed!
They idolize our 11-yr.-old Golden, Mac, and are
making friends with our kitty, Tiana.
All our best, Lyn & Paul Mayewski
Hi Kim
David took this picture this weekend and I
thought you would get a kick out of it. Chloe is
quite the photo queen! She loves the boat and
loves swimming even more! Hope all is well with
you !

New puppy Charlie has proved not only to be
extremely bright & handsome, but a great
traveler as well. We arrived safely at the ranch
at midnight. Charlie was a very happy air
traveler: bright eyed & curious as he kept track
of everything going on around him (in between
naps) from the seat or his Sherpa bag. The only
time he fussed was when I tried to close the top
of the bag (so I left it open), and when he went
into the crate in the car (he’s NOT loving the
crate, and has not hesitated to let me know).
Today Charlie has been tearing around checking
everything out at about a million miles per hour
(why walk when you can gallop)! As I write this,
he is sound asleep while I sip my coffee (made
at 5:30am) and look through the photos from
Charlie’s first day at the ranch (a few are
enclosed).
Big brother Jonah will be joining in the fun
this afternoon, hopefully by then my hair will
no longer be standing on end and I will have
finished that “first” cup of coffee
Love to all! Kathi
We made it home safe and sound but it wasn't
until 8:00 PM due to the very nasty weather
(there was a tornado that hit about 25 miles
from our house). Anyway, he ate this morning and
is getting acclimated just fine. I'll send some
pics once we get some more - I attached one for
now.
Thanks for everything, Jason, Tracy and Jacob
Kim,
He is a great dog but has a little stubborn
streak. He went to puppy obedience and did
pretty good. He is 6 months old today and weighs
61 pounds. He is still on the diet you
recommended. He is super friendly to everyone
and just loves the water. We are very happy to
have gotten him.

Kim,
Just wanted to say Hi! Louie is great, hope
all is well with you!

Hi Kim, How are you? Carver is getting so big.
It seems like he lost all of his winter coat but
the fur just keeps coming off, haha! cheers,
Christina
Good Morning Kim,
I'm not sure if you remember me but I bought a
beautiful Golden Retriever from you back in
1997. He (Riley) was born on January 31st 1997
(liter # SN417788/01). He has been our best
friend and companion for the last 11 1/2 years.
Riley did everything with me all of the time!A
little over a month ago he was diagnosed with
prostate cancer and last evening we had to put
Riley down. I've attached some recent photo's of
Riley and want you to know he had an excellent
full life. Everyone who met him knew he was a
special dog they also know he and I went hand in
hand.
Sincerely, Ryan Herrick
Hi Kim,
Just wanted to update you on Kloey. She
graduated Puppy Kindergarten this week and also
did some agility classes. She is very smart and
listens well.
Take care, Priscilla Czarnecki
Kimberly,
Happy Holidays, We just wanted to send you a picture of Gracey and her brother
Jonah. Gracey is doing just fine. My wife and I wanted to thank you again. She
is awesome.

Hi Kim,
At Emily's age,
it would seem that the best presents still come unwrapped!
Cheers, Tracy
Hi Kim,
Wishing you
the Happiest Holiday and a Wonderful New Year!
Much Love,

Hi Kim,
On
the day before Rags' birthday, I just wanted to let you know how
extremely
pleased
we are with him. Rags is just the best dog. He sailed through Puppy
Kindergarten and Basic Obedience and is now half way through Advanced
Obedience and is the star of the class. He gets along with all other
dogs and cats; he loves children, he's smart and very funny. I'm
already using him in my work, even though he's too young to take
the certification
test. He'll take it next month, but I have complete confidence in
his good nature, his kindliness and gentle manner. I took him along
when
I visited a Montessori school. We visited two classes of thirty pre-schoolers
each and he was absolutely perfect, even though the kids were hanging
all over him and shouting and generally being typical pre-schoolers.
I also took him to an assisted living facility for seniors. Many
of them were forgetful and confused, but you would have been proud
to
see how patiently he went from one to another, standing quietly so
they could pet him, and then doing it all over again several times
because some of them kept forgetting they had already met him. He
brought alot of joy into their rather dreary day. Rags is very
big boned, although
I don't think he's much over 24" and he weighs about 80 lbs,
maybe more. He hasn't been to the vet in a while for me to weigh
him but
he's not at all chubby, just big boned with heavy muscles. We have
had no health problems, except that we have to keep after his ears.
We joke that he's not really a Golden Retriever because he doesn't
have much interest in retrieving and also doesn't seem to like the
water, but we'll try that again this summer. Maybe he was just too
young last year. And maybe it's my fault, as I don't work with him
to retrieve and we don't go to the beach often. He does get plenty
of exercise playing with our other dog, Webster. They love each other
and spend hours stealing toys from each other and chasing around.
When they get tired of that, they chase the cats until the cats get
tired
of it and put them in their place. We brag about Rags all the time,
and everyone who meets him wants to know where we got him. I give
them your name and hope some of these people will get puppies from
you.
I know they'll be pleased if they do. If we ever get another puppy,
we know where he'll come from!
Many thanks,
George and Carolyn Currey
Kimberly,
Max is wonderful! At 5 1/2 months he is already 50 pounds and quite a
handsome guy. EVERYONE who knows him loves him and he has a very large
social circle of other dog pals. He spends lots of time walking with me so
he is in great physical shape, and is progressing quite well in his obedience
classes. He does have a stubborn streak and sometimes completely ignores
me by not making eye contact with me. It's hard not to laugh as I know
exactly what is he doing. He is very intelligent. We are committed to a dog
therapy program starting in August when Max is one and can get his certification. There
is one hospital that we are signed up to visit, although my goal is Children's
Hospital in Boston. They require dogs to be two years old so we will
have to wait for that. I know Max will love it as he very gentle with people
and quite laid back. It absolutely amazes everyone that he is so young
yet so calm and well behaved. As I am typing this he just came over and laid
down at my feet and put his head on my foot. I LOVE THIS POOCH! Here
are some pictures, one with cousin Sophie.
I will keep you posted on his progress.
Thanks again for our Max.
