Dear Pam

Hi this is Beau Stout with another update!!! I am sorry that it has been so long , But I have to depend on Mom and Dad to help on this kind of stuff. Dad went Elk hunting ( I had to stay home) but had a good time with just Mom and me. Also Dad had to learn how to add pictures to an E MAIL ( this will be his first try) lets see how he does??? I had my last shots and a checkup and every thing is just fine , I have gained over a pound and a half the vet said that was good , and I am getting taller too . I am keeping up with my studies and Mom and Dad say I am doing very good , I can tell because I get treats ( and in my book that's as good as an A ). Santa was good to me this year I got a new bed , a Bronco sweater , a fleece jacket , some new bones ( yum) and some toys , not to bad !!! Now lets see if Dad can add the pictures of me that you ask for . O just so you know I will be going to the groomer again this week !! And Dad sez that you are welcome to use any and all of the stuff that I send . Someday we would like to come out for a short visit if that would be ok??

Just thought I'd send you a few pictures of our baby Charlie and let you know how he's doing. He is a very popular boy with both our families--they always want to see him! He is so sweet and charming and gets along great with the 1 yr old kitty, Luna, that we just adopted about 6 wks ago. Charlie has stayed tiny--about 7-8 lbs (honestly I think he might be one of the smallest bichons I've ever seen), but I don't think he has any idea that he is that small. He's doing great, and we look forward to bringing him by sometime so you can see in person how darling he is!

Hi Pam,

Our little Ollie (Gaylynn) is settling in really nicely. He visited my vet yesterday and all looked good. Oscar is enjoying having a buddy to patrol the yard with and we are looking forward to some snowmelt to facilitate more running around. I will keep you posted as we go along...

Hi Pam –

Just wanted to let you know that I am totally in love with “Romeo”. He is now named Maxwell Stanley (“Max”) and is doing fabulously. He is really smart, gentle and a big sweetie pie. We are heading out to our first puppy training at Petsmart today. Thank you so much for the love of my life!! J

Attached are some recent photos of Cowboy.

he's 2 years and 10 months old now. (His parents are Misty and Rainer).

My parents and I are going to be in the Denver/Parker area this weekend. We were wondering if you would have any time to see us if stopped by. I think we are definitely interested in getting another Bichon some time hopefully soon and thought it would be fun to come and visit you.

Cowboy is doing great by the way -- he's 2 years and 10 months old now. (His parents are Misty and Rainer). It's my understanding that Rainer is still active in terms of breeding which is also something we wanted to talk to you about as well. We love Cowboy so much and would, ideally, like to get a pup by Rainer.

He really is a beautiful dog. People approach us all the time and to ask us where we got him. I haven't thought about it until now, but I think I mention fuzzypups at least once a month to someone based on their questions. One man actually approach my mom once when she had him and asked her if she would be willing to sell him. She made it clear pretty fast that he was NOT for sale. Thank goodness he's micro-chipped!

Hi Pam,

One year later and we have thoroughly enjoyed our year with Benny who became a member of our family last April. He has everyone under his spell and for good reason. He is so affectionate, playful, calm and adorable. I would like to get another one. I have seen a couple that were probably born last April or May and they may be from the same litter. I don't know the dog parents of the puppies but one of dogs is Zander that you sold to Cathy Stout and the other dog is CoCo that you sold to Amy Frankmore. Both are white with dark red/brown patches. Rusty, a picture on your online photo album is similar. I would love this color combination. I will keep checking your website, but will you please keep me in mind and let me know if you have a puppy like this. I am open to a boy or girl.

Thanks,

Everything is going well. Good appetite. Potty training is going great. She slept in her crate next to our bed for 6 hours straight through the night day 1. Cozmo is starting to play with her. She loves her yard and all the bark and twigs it has to offer so we are busy taking those away. Her energy is good and all is well. Lastly, after much deliberation buttercup has a new name. Izzy or Iz for short.

Hello,

My husband and I adopted a Shih Chon from you named Rini back in December. We wanted to tell you how much we love her! We renamed her Lola May and she is not only one of the most adorable dogs I have ever seen, but she is also so sweet, well-behaved, and spunky. Our Yorkie Rocco, has been a much happier dog since Lola May has been with us. She drives him crazy sometimes with her puppy playfulness, but we can tell he enjoys having a companion to play and cuddle with. Potty training has been going well and we are happy to say that Rocco, who was difficult to housetrain is now doing better than ever. Thank you so much for giving us a dog that has brought us so much happiness to our lives. She is one of a kind and we will continue to love and cherish her always.

Thanks,

Nicole and Jess Driggers

Dear Pam,

We cannot believe that we were celebrating Milo's 9th birthday this past St. Patty's day! Hard to believe it has been that long! He still acts every bit the puppy - lots of energy, and troublemaking too! We thought his Auntie Pam might like to see some of his birthday pictures, along with some others. He is probably the most photographed bichon in the world! We are glad to be getting to the spring around here... Milo doesn't mind the snow or the cold - hates the rain though!

We hope all goes well in Colorado. Milo is starting to ask for a little brother, so we'll have to see about that... but then he'd have to share the spotlight! Well, take care and happy spring!!

Kathleen, Thom and Milo

Have both Misty and Rainer retired permanently now or are you still using one or the other for breeding? I ask because we love Cowboy's personality so much that we would love to get another Bichon genetically similar to him if possible. Cowboy is a very calm, loving and secure dog. We were very strict in our training which I'm sure helped, but he otherwise a very VERY good dog. Misty is retired Rainer is not. Misty comes from the Marshmallow line, and we have two of her daughters now as mommies. Macy and Missy who are a little bit younger than Cowboy. Their dad is Montae. So it is possible we may breed one or the other to Rainer, otherwise they would probably be bred to Dean. .

Also, Cowboy grew to be a good sized Bichon -- about 14-15 pounds. He is the perfect size for me. However, my mom wanted me to see if you ever breed Bichons that do not grow to be as big as Cowboy. Do you ever have Bichons who weigh between 8-10 pounds? Most of our puppies now are 9-10 pounds/inches

I wanted to give you an update on our new fluffy member to our family, Reeses. He is such a funny guy. He goes from playful the cuddly in 5 seconds. He is great. We are learning his potty schedule and his “tells” if he is going to go to the bathroom. (We only had one accident today!) We bought him a small harness, before we got him. Luckily, our neighbor still had her x-tra small harness from her puppy. Right now, he stays right by our side when we go for little walks around our cul de sac. He is a little timid around new things, so I will just keep exposing him to the world. I did have a question. How long do puppies, his age, sleep during the day?

Hi Pam,

> We just wanted to say thank you for helping us out a couple weeks ago when our little Maddie got spayed. It was so nice of you to get in touch with the vet. She seems to be doing great. I'm a photographer, so I thought you might enjoy some of the pictures I've taken of our puppy. She's great! She thinks anyone she meets is her friend and we never have to worry about how she will act when company comes over. When she got spayed they said she went under wagging her tail and came out wagging her tail. That's our girl! We tell everyone how great Fuzzy Pupps is! You are free to use these images anyway you would like.

Just thought I would send some pictures of my little girl and her big brother Buddy. Gracie is loving life and is hopelessly devoted to me. She really like the whole “companion thing”. Although, sometimes she treats me like a puppy lick, lick, lick, lick. That is my morning greeting.

Happy New Year ,

Carol Barrington
