Lexi from Dow, Illinois~

Hi Susan,

            Pat and I have meant to write to you before now, but we're always so busy. 
 We just took Lexi up to be spayed, and I'm sitting at home so I thought this would be a good time to let you know how she's doing.
             We couldn't have gotten a more perfect dog for us!  She's darling, smart and so much fun to be with.  We love her so much!
             Her favorite activity is playing with her balls.  She's got 8 of them - 2 that are her favorites.  They all squeak - or some used to ...depending on how much use they get.  She puts them in her mouth and "squeaks" them as we're playing.  They inevitably end up under a chair or the couch, and she will lay down by it and whine until we rescue them for her.
            She also has about 4 stuffed animals that she likes - she "shakes" them a lot.  When she goes out to potty, she takes whatever she's been playing with out with her.  If we're not paying attention, she will leave it outside and we'll find it "frozen" the next morning!  (Not now of course, that was in the winter.)
            She goes to work with me everyday and has become a favorite of all the truck drivers that deliver to us - some of them bring her treats!
            When we are getting ready in the morning, she's right there with us.  One morning she was jumping up on Pat's leg, as he was shaving, as if she wanted the shaver. He pretended to shave her and she loved it!  So now, when Pat shaves, Lexi gets "shaved" too!!  She's so funny!
            Our grandkids just love her too.  When they come over, they run all over the house and play outside and Lexi's right with them.  When the kids leave, she's ready for a nap!
             When we were farming last fall, Pat put her in the combine with him and she loved it.  She wasn't a bit afraid - she loves it.
              In a lot of ways, it's like having Buffy back again.  They look a lot alike and are so lovable, but the similarity ends there.    Lexi's funny - she makes us laugh every day, she loves to wrestle with Pat, she would play 24/7 and she wakes us up every morning with a million kisses!!
           We are totally happy with this sweet little gift we received from God and from you!
           Thank you so much for putting us on your list.  We needed this sweet little puppy and you don't have to worry about her, she has a family who loves her dearly.
            We still visit your website often to see your new dogs and their puppies. It's a wonderful thing you do, Susan.  You have made countless families happy with your puppies.
            Keep up the good work -  will let you know from time to time how our Lexi is doing.

           Very sincerely,
                     Mary, Pat & Lexi
