Hi Mary Ann!
I am sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I am sending pictures of My Juliana at the very moment she saw Chuy for the first time. The blond lady is my friend. Iit was one
of the most precious moments. I will never forget. The love that this little guy has brought to our home - we feel honored that he loves us too.
I take Chuy everywhere with me, even to work. Everyone who sees him falls in love. He is quite the lady killer, I have never seen a dog flirt before. He definitely gets attention,
you would think he was a movie star.
He has the most awesome personality, he gets very playful at night, he really makes me laugh, i haven't been this in "love" for a very long time.
I am going to wait to take him to parks and the beach until he has all his shots, however Chuy had been to at least 10 restaurants. He likes this fancy carry bag, it has vents and it
zips up - no one knows, and he seems very content in the bag. When we leave the restaurant i let him out to get water and that's when the mobs come, we always have to make a
quick getaway. I am tring to limit the number of people who hold him.
My son loves him too both my son and Chuy have the same kind of hair its funny ~ I will send you pictures as soon as I get them.
There has been alot people wanting to know where we got Chuy. I brag about you and how wonderful you are. There are alot of Fancy expensive pure breeds
right now in California, however I think we are going to start a new trend here in Lafayette because every where we go, people say how they want one Just like Chuy.
We definitely want another one.
I will be taking Chuy to the vet on sat. ~ I have so many questions I think I will try to call you this week.
I will definitely send more stories and pictures, you are definitely one of the most nicest and kindest person i have ever met and I thank God for bringing you and your
family into our lives.
Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts ~ Cassie, Shane, Juliana and Chuy"
Snails becomes L'il Duke
Hi Mary Ann!
Duke and I are just great! I attached a few pictures of him for you to view. He is sleeping at my feet right now. He is such a little joy! I am having a bit of trouble potty
training him, but hopefully he will come around. :-) I hope everything is going very well for you, your family, and your wonderful pets.
Thank you so much for my little Dukey! ~~ Tiffany"
Norman with his family.
"Mary Ann, Words cannot express how much we have bonded with this beautiful baby boy. Friday and Saturday Ned/Norman was mostly quiet and observant, but he showed all of tons affection. He loves to give kisses. Then, on Sunday, he began to come alive. "Crazy Norman" was introduced.
He bagan to play with his toys, then after his bath, he went nuts. He did a flip, ran everywhere, attacked all of us, etc. We took him outside, and he chased the girls round and round the tree.
Even more amazing, he has only had one accident in the house! I believe that particular incident was in protest. The girls and I had left to do a quick errand. Shawn said the moment we walked out the door, he went to our bedroom. Shawn got up to follow him, and in those few seconds, he had urinated on the floor. We think he was letting us know his disapproval of my leaving. Other than that one time, he has gone outside every time. He has also already learned the "sit" command. He does not like training treats, so I have to use real chicken. He is a finicky little thing!
Thank you taking such good care of him. He is a perfect fit for our family.
I hope you have a good week adjusting with your mother at the nursing home.
And I hope she adjusts as well. Thanks again, Heather"
Felicia comes to get Splash
Annika becomes Annika Rose
Brewster is now Matty Brewster in Illinois
"Hi Mary Ann~
I've been wanting to drop you a line for awhile, but you know how that goes sometimes. We are so in love with Matty, he is truly a blessing. I have lots of pics i'll try to send as well. He is such a well behaved smart little boy. He's been out to phoenix with us and was the most well behaved passenger on the plane. He got to meet his poodle cousins over christmas. He's going to his training class tonight, and I'm sure he's very excited. He's had all his shots including rabies, He has a haircut appointment on Feb 2nd to get him ready for our trip to Vegas. Anyway, I'll try to keep you posted and updated with pictures or if you have a facebook account you can see all of them, he has his own album. Hope all is well with you and thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!
Matt"
Isabel
Lolli Pop went to California and is now Isabel.. One of her good friends is Tucker, a yorkie - who belongs to Paige's best friend.
"Hi MaryAnn,
She is sooo cute! all my friends have told me they want to steal her because they think shes just adorable. We've renamed her, she is now Isabel and is great at going potty outside...when I take her, other than that she has had a few accidents but I usually catch her or can tell when she needs to go so I take care of it before she goes inside. She and our cat (who's only 4 months old) have been getting along very well and play all the time. It's the cutest thing ever. I'll have to take some pictures and send them to you. We've begun to crate train her and shes doing very well with it.
- Paige"

"We took her to the vet last week and she said that she seemed to be doing well.
I have gotten so many compliments on her. We just love her! Pictures and/or a video will be coming your way soon.
Thanks,
Paige"
Zane becomes Mayreau
Mayreau got his name from the island that Kimmee and Jared went to on their honeymoon.
Kimmee and Jared got Mayreau in May of 2008 - here is a recent letter from Jared (May '09)
"Hey Mary Ann!
How are you doing? Mayreau (Zane) is doing great. We are moving to a new house soon with a HUGE backyard that is fenced and ready for both dogs… So great in fact that my mother is considering getting another puppy after the loss of her poodle a couple of months ago which she had for 18 years. She is looking at poodles off Puppy find and I truly believe she needs to consult with you regarding this. After we purchased Sanka from another breeder we found on puppy find, Kimmee and I swore we would never make another poodle/maltipoo purchase without talking to you first.
My mom seems to want a poodle but she LOVES Mayreau (Zane) and I was wondering if you were planning on having any more Maltipoo pups from the same parents? If not, what kind of little Maltipoos do you have available at this time? Also, what are your breeding plans for poodles and or other Maltipoo pups?
Interestingly enough, I am working in Kansas City are right now on the Keystone pipeline which will be cutting across Missouri soon. We are going to work our way east from KC to St. Louis. Hopefully we will be able to meet up at some time soon!
I hope all is well with you and the family! Talk to you soon."
This young couple was so much fun to work with - the day they got Mayreau, Jared had him out in the yard, already teaching him to fetch.
