Here is Sancha - a real sweetheart and great little companion. She went to be a therapy dog in December 2010 for a family who had lost a big dog (Anatolian Shepherd) to Cancer. Even their family dogs were tramatized - so she had her work cut out for her. Here's a note I received from Sancha's new family: ************************************* Norma; I wanted to let you know that Sancha is settling in nicely, we love her so much. She is happy and healthy and sitting on my shoulder, as I write to you. Jack, my husband says he's never had an animal that just 'fits right in, as if she's known us forever....! Perhaps we have known her forever! William the Westie really does love her alot and Patch, Jack Russel/Border Collie, our older girl thinks she's 'cute'. Take care and hope your new babes are well! Nancy

Sarge became "Rowdy" in his new home, December 2010. This letter was sent by his family a week later.

Hello Norma,

Little Rowdy has settled-in nicely and is loving life.  I can't believe how well he's bonded with us and how much he's already learned since he's such a little puppy.  He has slept through the night with no whimpering from the very first day.  We placed Augies kennel next to Rowdys cage so that they are separated but can see each other and everyone sleeps well.

He's just perfect. Thanks making our family complete!

Best regards

-Vern & Debbie

January 12, 2010 Puppy went to Helena, Montana - Letter from January 14.

NORMA,  We named our pup, Lottie.  She is doing really good.  Cries at night when she has to go pottie.  She loves her toys and is fond of chewing on things.  Those little teeth are very sharp.  She is an aggressive eater.  Loves her food.  Was going to ask you what kind of food were you feeding them.  I have mixed some Science Diet with yours and she has also has Science diet moist canned food that she likes also.  Lottie is such a good girl and as sweet as she can be.  Love her already. God Bless Eileen

December 2011 These two pictures are of Minnie (Emma) that I bottle fed at a week old. She lives with her family in Portland and may be the best dressed Cairn in town. Neola and her daughter Kali now have 3 Cairns between them that we have arranged for them!

Hi Norma, This evening Minnie (Emma) brought her family over for dinner. She was all decked out in her santa cape, as were her doggie family, and looked great. Bonnie and Frankie were nuts about her, and she played with them until she pooped out. She is adorable. She has very proud parents, for sure. I hope all is going well for you and your family. And I hope your holiday is a good one. Love, Neola
