Marley….where to I begin?  We had no idea that we would love a dog so much!  Steve and I have both have had a lot of dogs over the years but we both say quite often to each other that we cannot believe how attached we are to Marley.  He is such a wonderful dog and he is such an asset to our family.  Ellie and Hannah love him so much and Ellie has totally changed around him.  She is always around him and she always wants to hold him and lay on the couch with him.  He is so smart and so loving.  I walk Marley every night around 2.5 – 3 miles with my neighbor and her dog and she is helping me with training.  Marley is learning to heal, stay and lie down.  He is doing so well that it’s hard to believe he is only 4 months.  He was completely house broken in about 2 weeks and now he goes and sits in front of the front door when he needs to go out.  He will begin obedience training with us in a couple of weeks.    The  Christmas picture was the one I used in our Christmas cards.  So many people asked if he was a stuffed animal!!!!

We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful dog and for such a wonderful family member!  He is very spoiled and he loves every second of it!

Hi Valerie,

Smalls is such an amazing puppy! We could not be more thrilled with him! I cannot thank you enough for how wonderful he is, all the great advice you have given us so far, and for all the future calls/questions you have offered to answer J He is so adorable, such a sweet little guy, and is friendly to everyone who has come over to welcome him home. The boys are so excited to finally have a dog of their own and Smalls is so loving and playful with them. I’ll send you pictures of Smalls and Cabo as soon as I get together with Kelly.
Take care and talk to you soon (I promise!!) xoxo


 We have been really busy, but she is the best thing that has come into our world. We love her so much, I spent the last 2 days with just her and I. Now she follows me all over like she did you, at night put her into the cage to sleep, she doesn't cry just sleeps good, we have never had a accident yet, she is so good. Now her poop is solid like it should be, when she is done she comes running to me like I am a big girl now. I get down on the floor and play with her most of the time. 
 
So now I know God was looking for us, and along comes the dog we had prayed for. But its due to you by knowing what you do about breeding dogs, the knowledge you have and the heart you have so you were dead on about CC coming to live with us. I felt so bad when you left, as felt the pain in your body leaving her behind, but you knew she has the best home possible.
