2008 New Homes - The below pups were born in 2007.
Sable Boy (a.k.a. Riff) My new mom lives in
California and she works with movie stars sometimes.
I sure hope I get to meet them. Hmmm, I wonder how their shoes taste?
Riff's February 2008 Update - I have trained my new mom how to play
bed. She says I'm not spoiled, I just have everything I deserve!
Riff's December 2008 Update -
Riff has started his photo shoot collection. Here is his 8 X 10 glossy.
Sable Boy (a.k.a. Izzy)and his new mom. This puppy and wonderful young lady took to each other like nothing I have ever seen. He was so comfortable with her that he fell asleep in her arms.
Izzy update, June 2008 - It is clear that these two continue to have a very special bond.
Izzy update, November 2009 - Izzy is thinking about being a rock star. Perhaps he is following the infamous words of William Congreve, "Music has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak." He's going to concur those oak trees one way or another.
Sable Boy - Kai went to live with his new family in sunny California.
It appears that Kai has landed in
the lap of luxury at his new home...good friends, good clothes and moreover, a good carpet to just lounge around on.
Kai's Update: It has been reported that he has taught his new mom that "Good Boy Cookies" are an absolute necessity of life!
Tri Boy (a.k.a. Jack) I'm living in South Carolina
with my new mom. I get to go to work with her every day! Guess I have to learn the right way to do interior decorating for my new clients. Don't know if they would appreciate
my preferred "chewed up toy" decor.
Jack's Update:
Why yes, I do give massages. Kindly make a reservation with my receptionist.
Jack's March 2010 Update:
Jack's mom sent this lovely photo to me and I must say I am thrilled with Jack's progress. Jack was a tiny little pup, about 1/3 the size of his siblings. Look at him now. :) It is obvious he is receiving much love and care.
Izzy, a sable female, joined her "movie star" half brother, Riff, in California. It has been reported
by her new mom that Riff is teaching Izzy the ropes on living California style.
Aug 2008 Izzy update - Seems Izzy (on the right) has turned the tables on her buddy, Riff. She has decided to teach him
how to dig a hole "Virginia" style.
Dec 2009 Izzy update - Miss Izzy is growing up into a lovely young lady. She posed pretty so her mom and dad could take her picture with their new camera.
Cousteau, a hound tri male, joined his new family in
Virginia Beach, VA. He has his very own young man to grow up with. They're thinking they want to give "Rally" a try!
Cousteau's August update - This handsome young man and pup are lucky enough to get to go to the beach often and dig holes in the sand together.
Cousteau's March 2010 update - Cousteau's mom has enrolled him in training. It is obvious he has learned the "lay on the couch and smile for the camera" command.
Sable Boy (a.k.a. Bandit) I'm living in Virginia
with my new family - a pap, a chi,
and my new mom and dad. Oh yes, there's a kitty too. I'm not sure who I like better yet, but the kitty's tail looks like it could be really fun!
Bandit's August 08 Update: Mom and Dad say if I stand right here, I help them get better reception with my ears.

Tri boy (a.k.a. Pogo). Pogo has joined his new family in North Carolina. He has a wonderful young gentleman to love and to grow up with. Wonder how long it will be before Pogo crawls right up into Caleb's bed?
Pogo November 09 update: Pogo's family surprised him with a birthday party on his 1st B day. All of his friends came over and brought him presents. I do believe this boy is a touch spoiled! :) Pogo has the most wonderful family and is very loved as you can see.

Alice's August 2010 update: Alice is enjoying her new home. She sleeps with one of her new moms and gets to watch videos on the bed. Alice's mom has bought her a stroller so Alice's little feet will not get too hot on their walks.
