"The first look into the mirror was FUNNY. She kept trying to play with that puppy and bumping her head on it. The other dummy would not move over !" --Mike

"She came in a little late but all is great. Her disposition is fantastic. I have never had a puppy as sweet and calm as her. No barking, Little to no whining, nice and quiet. Even when she was put in the crate to sleep, all we heard was a few whimpers for about 20 minutes. She is already walking ok on a leash and doing her BUSINESS outside. Thank you very much for getting her started right. Attached are a few pics from last night. I will try to keep you posted as she grows.

THANKS A MILLION
Mike, Laura, and Sarah"

"Everything went great. She is FANTASTIC. I'll be sending some pics in a little while.

BTW... Was there supposed to be a shedding blade and nail clippers in there somewhere?"

Mike

RESPONSE:

"Thanks! She is pretty amazing. I figured the airline wouldn't allow that so it is in the package that is on the way. Can't wait to see the pictures! Laura"

"Mike,

I will give you my experience with the two pups from last week. Willow will be wearing a "crown" today through Friday. The vet will remove that contraption on Friday and clean the inside of the ears will rubbing alcohol, avoiding the wound, of course. The ears are suppose to air out through Monday. This is a nice step as it allows the ears to heal much faster. She will have three meds to be giving her (an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and a narcotic). Two are giving twice a day, one once a day. Those will be attached to the crate.

You will need to have her ears wrapped on Monday. I am going to foward you the message I sent to Vader's owners [for Web site readers, go to Vader's page -- Scarlett's 1st Litter]. I gave them a description of how our vet wrapped Brandi's ears. There are stitches in her ears. The vet snipped the stitch in each ear but did not remove them. She said the stitches will be easily removed by the next Monday. After the first wrapping on Monday, the vet said to remove the wrapping on Saturday. Then wrap again on Monday. She likes to give the ears exposure to the air so they do not become an infected, gooey mess. Because of this, the ears heal quicker and that is much nicer for you and Willow. I am now going to forward the other message. Let me know what questions you have after reading all this!"

"The pics are fantastic !!! We can't wait !

The last flight looks best. That way she comes straight home to a nice calm house, no running around finishing the days chores. Mike"

"Mike,
I just checked my email and the lady who has the pick before you just informed that she wants the red female tagged green. You had mentioned on the phone you were interested in the purple. But, the red tagged one is also still available for you to pick. Let me know which one of the two is going to be yours!" Thanks, Laura

RESPONSE:

"Red with Purple will be named WILLOW ! I can't wait.
We are all very excited and anxious. Thanks, Mike"

"Hello again,
It was great speaking with you this evening. My wife’s preference is the red female with purple. We definitely want the ears done by your vet. Thank you again, my family and I are very excited!"

Thanks again,

Mike
