"Miss Bethany" from Tuckaseegee, North Carolina~

Hi Sue,

I know it's been a long time but Bethany and I are doing well right now. She's come a long way since the death of Bella. She hears her name or finds one of Bella's old toys and she gets a certain look on her fame. But otherwise she is doing well. We are trying to play inside and walk more outside which she loves. She thinks she must guard against all the critters that come visiting. We've had deer, squirrels, foxes, groundhogs, coyotes, and of course, our bear that comes down for corn, chestnuts, and apples.

Bethany and I went with my Brother-in-law to Cades Cove which is a beautiful area that had the early homesteaders move out due to the large dam being built. You can see how the early people lived and there is a great website you can visit.

I hope and pray everyone is well. I pray for you daily and for the joy you gave so many though your puppies!

Love, hugs and tail wagging happiness,

Cherrie' and Bethany

Hi Sue,
I thought you’d like to see some photos of Bethany. We went to Cades Cove in Tennessee about 3 weeks ago. It’s a beautiful place and Bethany was so good! Our weather turned colder over this weekend and Bethany decided to get in her favorite place, in front of the wood stove. She is doing so much better now since the passing of Bella. Bethany had never been alone so this was difficult for her to overcome. Love and patience is the only way to help when they feel the sorrow of a loss.
Bethany gets so many complements from everyone even strangers, just like her sister did.! I’ve had so many people asking when I’m going to train another Therapy Dog. Right now Bethany and I are enjoying being together. I do miss the work Bella and I did but God will let me know when the time is right.

Love to everyone!

Love and wet happy kisses to Momma Sue

"Miss Mia Rose" from Seaford, New York~

Hi mama sue,
Hope you are doing well. Mia is 3 1/2 years old now and a big sister to a shorkie brother. She acts more like his mother making sure he follows her rules. She is still a very mushy girl who loves her squeaky toy and treats!
Love Mia Rose & Lisa from Seaford, NY

Miss Angel Face from Lockport, New York~

So you've been back up here in beautiful New York. The colors are changing and it's beautiful.
How is Mike doing?

Also, have you found a nice church down there?

Congratulations on Cheryl having a new little boy! Landon and Layla. I like those names. Any pictures, Grandma?

I'm sure you miss your puppies. They were so much a part of your life. Which dogs do you still have? Jingles? Dolly?

Angel keeps asking me where her sisters are?

Love,
Carol

PS Stay well and have a beautiful Thanksgiving.

Hi Susan,

By now you should be settled in North Carolina, and hopefully Mike is improving at that new hospital. We hope and pray so.

Angel, as always has been a very good girl and the Verizon and Direct TV workmen who came to the door were captivated by our little girl.

Thinking back, it seems a long time ago that you came to the house and dropped her off. We are so grateful that you did, and we just want you to know how much we love this little princess of ours.

Angel Face says hello, too to you and the family.

Missing you,
Carol and Chet and High Calling's Angel Face

Just thought it would be neat to add a video from time to time that might interest the ladies viewing my blog.

Wishing my Puppies Twilight, Starlight, Rainy & Orion a Happy 5th Birthday
Love your mommy Starr..


Dear Momma Sue and Papa Mike,
Hope you both are well and had a good trip. Libby and I are doing well, but the
mornings here a little chilly.
I am still practicing my singing and hope someday to get a record made. I must
be good as everyone comes
running to hear me....
Sending doggie hugs and kisses
Starr

Note from Mama Sue~

Blessings to all!

"Miss Abby" from Arlington, Va~

I am so grateful that I got one of you puppies. Abby turned four yesterday. SHe's stil as playful and as much fun as she was that first day when you handed her to me in the airport. SHe spends much of every day dropping tennis balls under my feet, hoping I'll throw them so she can give chase.

She discovered the beach a few months ago. SHe's still afraid of the waves, but she LOVES the sand!

Looking through your blog, I see Abby's face in every picture of a buff and tan pup. I'd love to meet her siblings. Maybe when things settle down in your life, you could have a 'family reunion'. We'd definitely come!

I'm sorry to hear about your husband and I'm sorry you won't be breeding anymore wonderful Cockers. Best of luck to you and your family.

Mike, Laura and Abby. Arlington, VA

"Miss Bunny" and "Mr. Biscuit" from Harriman, Tennessee~

September 11, 2001....Always remember~

Thirteen years ago, our country was brutally attacked by terrorism. So many people died that day who were employees of the various businesses in the towers, and the pentagon...and passengers on the planes. So many wonderful first responders lost their lives in the rescue efforts. My heart breaks for them and grieves for their families. It seems like yesterday. Always remember that it happened and could happen again.....but hang onto the way things used to be. Please remember how much I love each and every one of you.

God bless you all~

Mama Sue
