Jimmy Jumbuck was the last
to leave us. It was hard saying goodby to him in the New Orleans
airport, but
we knew he was going to a good home and would have a good life.
We
were later relieved to learn that he arrived in Kansas City
untraumatized by his flight. He always had a lot of spunk!

Above and below, Jimmy Jumbuck is met at the Kansas City airport by Brady and his dad, and by Annette. Below -- Jumbuck in the Kansas snow. Left -- Jumbuck and his friends in the snow. |
|
from Annette -- I'm so glad that you're happy with
Jumbuck's new home;
I was glad to provide some details about us and where he was going
because I had a feeling that
you really didn't want to let him go. I had hoped it would ease your
mind a bit.
We will take the best care we know how of him, and try our best to do
him the justice he deserves.
We just love our "four-legged" critters so much. People that aren't
animal-orientated just don't understand how
your lives can revolve around them.
Jumbuck did so well last night. Of course, we stayed up late playing
with him,
and he "did his job" every time we took him outside.

Lovely Mysti, who went to a show home in Waycross, Georgia, looks so completely satisfied | with both her new owners -- Barbara and Jim. |
Indeed, here she is -- in Waycross, Georgia -- enjoying life with her champion Samoyed brother. Next row -- still enjoying life, but much bigger at 4+ months, Mysti thinks she might like to be a lap dog. |
|
from Barbara and Jim -- Well, we finally made it home.
Mysti is such a good and sweet baby, but so full of energy.
The first night when we put her in her crate, she cried only a minute
or two, then went to sleep and slept through the night until around
6:30 the next morning. The next day on the trip from Mobile, she slept
most of the time in her crate. When we stopped and took her out, she
would immediately go potty and was then ready to be picked up. We
stopped in Tallahassee for the night and, again, she slept through the
night without a whimper. December 22 -- Still wild as a "buck" and getting into everything, but still cute as ever... Thank God for Nikki. He keeps her pretty well occupied until he simply gives out. Started working a little on obedience and leash training, but still have a long way to go...---- |
|
January 23 -- As you can see, these two are rarely out of each others sight. They really do
enjoy each other. Mysti thinks she has to stay as close to her big
brother as she can get. She is his shadow. |

from Devin -- Chadee is an amazing puppy. An amazing handful,
of course, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Her little brain
never stops, and her energy level seems never to be exhausted. |

from Brooks--
Avett and I are doing AMAZING. He is such a quick learner and he is
always ready to play. I love how when I leave him in a room he is
sitting at the door waiting for me to return. I was going to say he's
fully house trained, but today he had his first accident in weeks. He loves chasing any type of balls, and he's getting to the point that he can catch bouncing tennis balls out of the air consistently. I've found walking him around campus and at the soccer fields is the quickest way to meet new people (ESPECIALLY girls, always a plus). My family met Avett over Thanksgiving break and they LOVE him. My parents had reservations about me getting a dog at first, but now they are as excited about him as I am. I can't begin to tell you how much I already enjoy him. My vet was so impressed with him and his pedigree that they asked for your web page so they could possibly recommend you to potential buyers in the future. You were right, I have already had 5 or 10 people tell me that my dog is the best looking puppy they have ever seen. Sorry it's taken so long for me to update you on how we are doing, but it has been a little hectic with finals going on. |

Wendy wrote -- Beau did so well on the plane. It was amazing. He didn't even give out a whimper. He seems to like the carry-on, so I am having him sleep in it at night. He wakes me up when he needs to go outside because it is small and he doesn't want to mess it up. If I don't wake right up, he howls and keeps it up until I get him. As soon as we hit the grass, he goes and we go back upstairs and he snuggles down in his "crate" and goes back to sleep. My older Aussie is getting better with him. Beau looks at her with such longing, but he does keep his distance. Right now they are both outside with Beau on one side of the yard and Desi on the other. It is pretty cute. My grandson loves him and I know they are going to become terrific pals ! Beau wants, so badly, to play chase. Benjamin doesn't quite get it yet, that Beau is wanting to play. Beau wants to be close so Ben is learning. Beau gets more beautiful every day! He loves it outside. He has such boundless energy. He chases leaves all over the place. They are great playmates for him. He pounces on long bits of grass and is just all around delighted with the world. He hops in and out of the backdoor like a champ and knows when I am going outside. He doesn't want to be left out! | Below -- Beau at 3 months -- he always was the biggest pup in the litter! November 3rd -- I am so glad that
I came early to get Beau. He is totally my dog and herds me whereever
I go. He comes immediately when I call him, hasn't made any sort of
mess in the house for ages (knock on wood!) and LOVES it outside.
There are times when he whines at the back door, then stays outside
for an hour or more. I absolutely adore him and want to take him
everywhere with me. |
|
(November 3 continued) We went on an outing to get some chicken. :)
That was funny. He whined for a good bit of the outbound trip,
settled down, but when the chicken entered the scene, he was on a hunt!
His little nose was searching everywhere for the source of that
heavenly aroma. December 27 -- He is a MOOSE!! His eyes are still
blue
(HURRAY!!, HUZZAH!!!) His favorite thing is to take a running leap
and hurl into my lap. Then he licks all over my face and chews on my
hands. He is actually much better than he was at first.
His manners are getting much better but he is REALLY stubborn. :)
So am I, and I usually win. :) We haven't started obedience in a
class yet, but he is doing really well on a lead. He loves it.
When he is off the lead, he herds like crazy. On lead, he walks like
a little man. I think he would herd flies if he could. |
