Thank you so much to all of you for helping to spread the joy we are feeling for having this special little girl in our lives. We are so lucky that our breeder entrusted us with our precious Katie. It hurt me to take Katie from her; I could hear such love each time I spoke to her about her and in each word that she wrote, and I know how difficult it was for her to give Katie up. It is so apparent seeing how confident, happy, and well-adjusted that Katie is. She loves everyone and has the sweetest disposition. Katie is such an affectionate little girl. When I come in from work she showers me with kisses, but she will often run in the middle of the kisses to give my husband some too so that she doesn't leave him out. She then runs back into my arms to continue giving me my welcome. Thank you so much for all of the special comments about Katie and for all of your warm wishes.

Lisa she is stunning, and so thriving under your care.. I hope you sent some to Ilona too. She'd love that.

Now cough, cough, are you continuing her obedience training???? Sit, Stay, Come, Down, and Heel? For that little minx as you know has a strong character. And it seems to be Long Island must be on some water. And well she probably has been in the pond up north for swimming, I'm pretty sure she'd love swimming.

I'm just so so tickled pink (not blue) :-) to hear/see your happiness.

I am so very blessed to have your support and your friendship. I have learned so very much from you about our pups which is so valuable to me, but it's the matters of the heart that have so deeply touched me.

Everything you said about Katie is so true, and John and I never dreamed that she would be this wonderful. I have sent Ilona some photos, and I have lots more to send her. I hope I don't flood her email with too many photos.

You're right about the obedience training. Katie has been so well-trained, and she is such an obedient little girl. However, she sure is smart and strong-willed, and Katie has quickly discovered how easy-going I am. I will continue to work with her, and I have much to learn, but I will definitely do it. Ilona told me that she learned all of her commands in Russian, but that Katie learns very quickly. Until we get our pool open again, I'll make sure to take Katie swimming elsewhere. Katie has surely gone on many adventures with Ilona. She loves going shopping or any other place that I go, but she is equally as content cuddled up with John. She doesn't leave his side when I am at work and still hops on his lap several times once I am home. John is also in love with our little girl.

Thank you for supporting us with Katie, for finding her for us, and for everything you said to Ilona which gave her the confidence to entrust us with her very loved little girl. I promised Ilona that I will always protect, love, and care for Katie, and I will not let her down.
