" These are puppies that have been adopted into loving families!"
SCOTT & BRENDA w/ SOPHIE; MANSFIELD, IL
" Just a quick note to let you know how happy we are with our little Sophie. She is adjusting quite well to her new home. We just love her to death. She has a wonderful personality and she is very smart. Our vet says she is perfect!
Toby is adjusting slowly to her. It will take some time, I'm afraid, however Sophie will not be ignored. Toby actually has done quite well with her. Sophie certainly is a ball of fire and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Thank you so much for our bundle of joy and we will highly recommend you to any one who would like a bundle of joy of their own. I can't tell you how impressed we are. We will be sending pictures your way very soon. Again thank you so much."

" i wanted to let you know how well Sophie is doing.
She is absolutely doing great! She has adjusted very well. She weighs about 4 1/2 pounds right now. She is nothing but a fur ball. I have to put her in a top knot just so she can see, which she doesn't appreciate too much.
Toby has adjusted quit well to Sophie. They play really well together. He has grown pretty attached to her and her to him. It actually was the best thing we did in bringing Sophie into our family. We treasure her so much. She can be a hand full at times but she is a good baby.
Underneath her black fur it is kind of a charcoal silvery gray. So, I guess we will have to see what color she is after we start getting her groomed. We haven't had her groomed yet, but as long as her fur is right now we will have to soon.
I do go on your web sight once in awhile to see what new babies you have. I am sorry we haven't sent you pictures yet but we have been busy with remodeling the house. I hope to send you some soon and you can of course use them on the web site if you like.
Again, thank you so much for our precious Sophie!"

" Hi everyone!
I love my new family.
When I came home I went right on the pad and went potty and poo.They think I am so smart and say what a good mommy I had to start my training.
They gave me a new name Coalie. I think I will like the name.
Friends came over and even brought me some presents. They say I can come and play at therehouse and meet some BIG dogs.
My new mommy said maybe.I slept in my crate till 4 this morning. Then I went in the big bed for a few minutes, then back in that crate thing till 6. They said what a good puppy.
I went to the vet and she said I am in perfect health and had real good care. Thanks mom!
They keep taking me outside. I think they are nuts! It is to cold for my little feet. I like going on the pad just fine.
I am training my new family just right. They know I like to be by them all the time and I love to give kisses.
Talk to u soon! Thanks for the new family."
~ Coalie Spiller

Coalie after grooming!
Kevin and Lori,"Just took some new pictures! She is such a good girl!
We have a new grandchild. Just turning 3 months. She is so jealous but does give him lots of kisses.
She loves going for walks and looking for the big dogs! She knows the houses they live in and sits and looks for them. If they are out side barking she will start to bark and want to go to see them.
Can't wait to see your knew ones! I will check back again. Have a great fall and God bless!" ~ Jan
KATHY; w/ GIZMO & OREO; MAHAMET, IL
" Hi Lori! I can't thank you enough for our little puppy! He is so sweet and Gizmo is doing great with him! They are so funny together. Anytime Oreo moves Gizmo is right behind him to see what he is going to do! Gizmo even gave up his spot in my bed so Oreo could sleep there. Gizmo moved over to my other side. We all slept in my king size bed until about 5:00 a.m. an then got up to go potty and then played a little bit and then back to bed until about 8:00 a.m. this morning! We have been playing and Oreo has eaten and is doing great on the puppy pads. I think my two boys must be tired, they are both laying down taking a nap right now!!
When we got back yesterday I took Cole down to my granddaughters wrapped in the little blanket that you gave us and went in with him wrapped like a baby. First I gave the 7 year old, Allison, the card to read. My son-in-law was vidio taping her reading the card and since it was congratulating her on a new baby boy she was confused since her mom is having a baby girl but, she gratiously thanked me for the card with a confusing look on her face. She said ''but Grandma mommy is going to have a baby girl'' and then I ask her how she would like to have this baby boy and I unwrapped the puppy! She was sooooooo excited and asked me if she could keep it! When I told her he was hers and her sisters she was so happy and asked if she could name him Bailey! So, Bailey it is!! The 2 1/2 year old, Claire, woke up from her nap and was also very excited about the new edition to the family!! I was very heart felt to see the look on their little faces and my daughter and son-in-law were just as excited!! We are truly blessed to have these two editions to our family!! We are getting them together this afternoon to play and Oreo played with his little sister last night also. My daughter is going to be e-mailing you some pictures she took of the girls with Bailey and I will get some pictures of Oreo and send to you as well. Thank you again for our little boys! I guarantee they are already loved and adjusting to their new homes and familys!! I am trying to get someone in our family to adopt the last little girl from the litter so we can have them all! I will be in touch!!
Hope your drive home was a safe one as well.
Have a great day! Oreo and Gizmo say thank you!!!!!" ~ Kathy
ALLISON & CLAIRE w/ BAILEY
" Hello, I have sent you some photos of Cole. My daughter, Allison age 7, has renamed him Bailey. Both of my daughters, Allison and Claire- age 2 1/2, were extremely excited to receive him. What a wonderful gift their grandmother has given them. Bailey has brought so much enthusiasm into our household that I didn't realize was missing untill he arrived. Our cat, Maceo, hasn't paid him too much attention and surprisingly, Bailey has agreed to give him his space. He loves his new bed and the toys we got for him, however, I must say that his favorite is just an old sock. We are going to have a play date later on today with his brother Oreo, formerly Cedric, along with Oreo's new brother, Gizmo. I'm sure they will have lots of fun together. We can't wait for nicer weather when we can get outside more often. Allison is just itching to take him for a walk to show him off to her friends. They also have puppies so Bailey will have lots of friends to play with. Thank you so much for bringing Bailey into our lives!"

KATHY w/ SIMON; MAHOMET, IL
" Dear Kevin & Lori,
Wanted to let you know Simon is doing fantastic! He's eating good and doing great on his potty training. I couldn't be happier!
The only problem we encountered was, Simon does not like a crate. But that's ok, he slept with us just fine. He got me up once to go potty, and then right back to sleep. He's not afraid of the other animals at all, as a matter of fact those tails behind the cats look like a great toy! He's going to get him one some day I'm sure.
I have a play pen set up in the kitchen for him when we're not at home. He is settling in here so much better than I expected. He's just a wonderful happy little guy.
Thank you so much for such a sweet puppy, it really shows, the love you give these guys. I'll send some pictures soon. Hope you didn't run into more flooding on the way home! Thanks again!"

" Dear Lori, Simon is still doing great........ He is doing so good about going potty outside!! We are so impressed with that. Of course we're totally impressed with him anyway!!
Ken is really falling for this little guy, he wasn't so sure of a shih tzu, but he loves Simon. He's always playing with him. And Simon adores him, he's on Ken's heel where ever he goes. Simon made me so happy yesterday, when I got home from work Ken had him outside going potty. I walked out the back door and said hi, and when Simon heard me, he stopped and made a bee line for me as fast as his legs would carry him.
Libby is still ignoring him, but it may take her awhile. Simon is trying though, he tries to follow her. When he gets a little bigger I'm sure Libby will want to play with him.
My Mom and Dad thought Simon was the cutest thing!! ...... I'll keep in touch." ~ Kathy
6/12/2008
" Hi Lori! Simon is doing so well! I have him sleeping in a crate at night and he's doing great with it now.
He is honestly such a good puppy!! We are so crazy about him, yes even Ken. He was holding him this morning in the other room, and a I heard how cute he was and how good he was. I don't know if he knew I was listening or not! . . . . . . .
IF we ever decide we need another shih tzu, I'll definatley be calling you! Take care!" Kathy

" Kevin & Lori, Hope everything is going well with you. I took Simon for his 12 week shots last night. He weighs 4 1/2 lbs. now. He's almost doubled from when I got him! I told him to quit growing so fast!
He is a real joy for us. He is the sweetest puppy. I took him to my granddaughters first birthday party last week end, and he was so good! He went up to everyone, no fear at all. He did get to ride in the new wagon with her, it was so cute!
He loves to run around the back yard with our other dog, actually he chases her. Sometimes I wish I would have gotten two puppys, so they could play together. But he loves tormenting Libby and the cats. Of course we have one cat we catch sleeping in his play pen with him. The big tough male cat - yeah, tough guy!!!
Simon is very happy little guy, the only times he has a fit is when he gets his bath and grooming. Hopefully in time he'll get used to it. He does great on a leash, and sitting for a treat. He's a very smart guy, maybe too smart at times! Just wanted to give you a update on Simon. Take care."

VALORIE w/ LILY; GRANGER, IN
" Lori, Lily is doing beautifully and we are thrilled to have her in our family. Lily is the perfect companion and is at my side all the time.
I was surprised that she slept well in her crate the first night, and is adjusting well to being confined at night. She sleeps well on the blanket you sent with her on her bed.
She went to the vet this morning and got a clean bill of health and is scheduled for the remainder of her puppy shots, wormings, etc. She now weighs 2.4lbs.
We are having great success litter box training her. She uses the litter box exclusively for piddling and gets in the vacinity for the pooping! Most people I spoke with were skeptical of litter box training, but she is proving them wrong...she is very smart and anxious to please.
She loves romping in the yard. She's so tiny she sort of bunny hops across the grass. It is so cute!
Thank you for my precious Lily! We are having fun spoiling her!"
~ Valorie & Allen

" Lily is the star of the neighborhood! She has never met a stranger, and makes everyone smile and love her.
She enjoys long hikes in the woods and playing with her toys.
She now weights 5 1/2 lbs. and her hair is long enough to put in a top knot.
We had a house guest from India last week. He was amazed at the care and love pets receive in the USA. He and Lily became fast friends and he was sure that she loved Indian feet!"

JANINE, DARNELL & DJ; MONEE, IL
" Kevin & Lori, We have decided on a name for Beau. We will call him DJ (Can you guess how we came up with that name?)
He has had 1 little accident otherwise, he is doing well when he needs to go potty.
He met a few of his relatives Uncle Jake and Auntie Linda and of course big sister Star. Star was somewhat shy upon first meeting yesterday but she did play with DJ today.
DJ slept with us for his first night we will see how it goes this evening. He is such a blessing to our home.
DJ goes for his Vet check tomorrow I will keep you posted. We hope to get pictures to you soon."
~ Jan
" Kevin & Lori, All I can say is WE LOVE HIM!
I have decided to have him neutered on Tuesday. I will let you know how everything goes.
I will send pictures soon."
