Neverland-Retrievers

Pete,

We came back from The Cove Monday morning after spending about four (4) days getting the move process underway. Got a lot accomplished. However, we had a little problem Monday evening and again last night. Seems that Cooper and “Mirror” still don’t see eye to eye as to who’s the Boss

He was on the bed, watching TV and started acting funny, at least funnier than normal. Bouncing around and growling, at what appeared to be nothing. We couldn’t get him to stop and we couldn’t stop laughing at his antics. Then, we saw “Mirror”, who was also bouncing and growling. Cooper wouldn’t stop trying to play with the other puppy until “Mirror” left the room. (Yes, I slid the mirror closet door open and “Mirror” left the room.) After we stopped crying from laughter, we all settled down.

I gotta remember to keep that door slid. J LMAO!!

Thank you,

Mark L. Jeffress

Received the following e-mail and picture from Cristina. Atlas was the Tan collar puppy and Indy is Cristina’s Mother-In-Law’s Flat-Coat:

Here goes a picture! I had to trick them with treats so they would stand still.

Here are a couple of recent pictures of Cooper, a very handsome pup.

D-Litter Families,

I received the following e-mail from the Durham’s regarding an incident with their pup. Although the source of the incident hasn’t been confirmed, please check your yard and puppy play area for mushrooms or other fungi’s. We’ve received a lot of rain in the east and I’ve noticed many mushrooms in my yard recently. While the adult dog mainly ignore them, the puppies are curious about everything.

Note gretas paw….spent the night in er on iv fluids and antibiotics. Crazy girl ate something in the garden likely that gave her a bacterial gi infection. On the mend though. Appetite, rambunctiousness and sweetness have returned….phew!

Thanks,

Hi, Peter,

Elvis is doing great. Everyone thinks he’s the cutest thing — where we live we have a lot of people strolling by, with or without dogs and he’s thrilled to see everyone. Clementine has accepted him and has gotten a lot of her mojo back. They wear each other out.

He hasn’t pooped in the house for five or six days now and he comes when he’s called. He’s hard to get a good picture of because he moves so fast but we keep trying.

We took him to the vet last Thursday and he weighed 12.5 pounds. He checked out in perfect health except that he has an undescended testicle. Chances are that it’ll come down by itself but if it doesn’t by the time he’s eight months old, they’ll have to go after it, so I’ll put off neutering until then, if necessary.

He’s rambunctious and full of himself and we’re all in love. Thanks.

Hi Peter, Lily is just wonderful. She loved chasing tennis balls, sticks, splashing in the pond and stream, and is quite a hit at the dog park. Everyone who meets her adores her. She is such a regal looking dog with a incredibly sweet disposition.

She was spayed on June 9, 2011 by Dr. Brault who practices at Kevin j. craw veterinarian, PC in Wilton,CT. Hope you are doing well!-Candace

Hi Peter.

Chester is the joy of our life. He is happy, friendly with other dogs and people, silly and a brute for his age. He weighs almost 80 lbs but is very athletic, fearless and fit. He is an inveterate swimmer at our lake place in Pennsylvania and a diver. He leaps off our dock after a ball or toy and my son Brett is jokingly offering to train him for those distance water jumping events. He as you know is now closing in on 10 months and was neutered at 8 mos. He watches TV at times if there is a dog, a horse or a ball of any type involved, which to us is very funny. He is pretty much always by our side although unlike our previous guy Rufus he is more independent and likes to explore. He is a great watchdog also, pretending to be fierce when in reality he is a baby. He is in great health, has all his shots, eats adult food now which we have gotten from a very learned woman about feeds: Pronature Holistic (Canadian company). We have two neighbors who walk him – one we call the dog whisperer because he often takes 4 at a time and they all listen to him like he was God. Our daily walker is another neighbor who used to do twice daily but now only once. We are giving him a little gradual autonomy from his crate when we are out, but he loves his crate. In short we love him and he has a wonderful home. We are bad with pictures but will take some and send them along. All or Best Rus and Nancy Sykes

Reagan continues to do well. A couple small accidents but that’s it. I see Dr. Dove today with one of our cats and will make an appointment for Reagan when I’m there. I’m also sending a few pics for your collection.

Hello D-Liter Families

We adopted the cute little “green guy” Labor Day weekend. We’ve since named him Brooksie and he is sloooowly learning its his name. He visited the vet one week ago and all is “perfect”. We weighed him on Sunday and he was 12.4 lbs….gaining weight rapidly. We’ve now got him totally on Nutro Puppy Lamb and Rice….he eats approx. 3/4c. 3x daily and lots of water. He’s a big chewer so we keep him surrounded by plenty of “toys”…we’ve warned him not to chew the cherry cabs in the house and hope he “gets it”…lol! He seems quite adjusted…He follows us everywhere, travels in the car with us when possible, visits friends/dogs and even goes “willingly” into his crate. He also seems to be sleeping through the night…9:30ish pm – 5/6ish am. House “accidents” are minimal…one poop and several tinkles….better than we expected.

Brooksie is a great addition to our lives and is truly a part of our little family. He is bringing us loads of fun, lots of love…We are quite happy! We would love to hear from all of you to see how things are going and to see pix of his “siblings”.

Peter, we will continue to update you and will send more pix this weekend.

Kelli and Dave…Brooksie too

** Hi Peter and fellow D litter parents:

We adopted light blue collar boy, who we first called Beau, but have since changed to Jack. Actually, he seemed to pick his own name, and everyone agrees the name definitely fits him. We’re amazed how fast he has learned commands such as “sit” and “down”, recognizes our voices, and comes running to his name. We’re socializing him each day, and he does great with new people and situations. He’s growing well – 14 lbs at Monday’s vet visit. Jack’s a mellow, happy, pleasant guy, and we feel blessed to have him as a member of our family !

Sincerely,

The Wedinger family
