This is Eleanor Fairbank Sether
purchased by T. D. of South Padre
Island. The dog is everything I asked
for.  She is very intelligent ande very
outgoing.  We meet hundred os
thousands of people here on the island
and she is always great with all of the
people, dogs, and cats.  She travels
very well; cars, motels and restaurants
and is always in a good humor.  I want
to thank you again for breeding such a
fine pet.  T.D. South Padre Island
Sophia has brought so much joy and
pleasure to our lives.  She has the
cutest, most winsome personality.  
Everyone is very quickly won over by
her charm.  She is beautiful, smart, and
well mannered.  Our three
granddaughters love to play until they
are all exhausted and it is very hard to
exhaust Sophia.  She has added a new
dimension to our lives.  Thank you.  G
and D L. Galveston, TX
We love the puppy we got from you!  
We named her Zelda and she is
growing and learning as she should.  
She is 13 weeks old and aboard our
sailboat in her lifevest.  Thank you for
your part in bringing us this adorable
puppy.  J.H.

our family.  Chester is a very energetic
and spastic puppy!!  He loves my
mother very much, and to her it is her
new baby.  He loves all women and
growls at most men!  He also loves to
sleep with me and to eat at all times of
the night.  P. Yanez  Rotan, TX

Hi Peggy,
Just wanted to update you on how Bailey is doing.  We picked him up on Weds. Dec. 22, and it was a total surprise
to me until the day before, remember?  He went to the vet today for another round of shots, and he’s already 10
pounds.  That’s a gain from 4.4 lbs the week we got him.  He is healthy and very active.  He’s been in the 8 panel 2
foot high pen at night and when we are not at home, but found a way to climb out.  He’s such a rascal.  We’re trying
to decide whether to buy the higher pen or just start confining him to a room when we’re away.  We decided to train
him to go indoors in a doggy litter box with a piddle pad in the bottom.  He trained so easily and doesn’t have
accidents anymore.  It’s funny to see him go out to play in the backyard and then run like crazy inside to his box.  It
was great during the rainy weather since he didn’t have to go out at all except for a walk on his leash between the rain
showers.  We hired the mobile trainer from Triple Crown, Cole Schroeder, to come to our home for a couple of
puppy lessons.  It was very useful to new puppy owners like us.  Bailey will stay at Triple Crown boarding during
spring break week in March.  I hate to leave him for a whole week, but we had the trip planned for almost a year.  
We looked at their facilities and it is the only place we’d use now.  Thanks so much for recommending Triple Crown
to us.  We love our new puppy, and would recommend you to anyone interested in a little Westie.

Peggy,

Here is the picture I took of my daughter
with the puppy.  We are looking forward
to bringing him home soon.  How is he
doing?

Thanks,

We introduced Fred to Lisa's Italian Mastiff, Sophia,  this morning.  She is very
gentle with puppies.  You can see from the photos who will OBVIOUSLY rule
when they are together!
As I write this email, Thatcher is hard at work taming the Gigantic Evil
Blue Plastic Stool, which you may remember from earlier emails is a
wicked enemy of his…since his Mommy only uses it when she sits at her
computer.  Thatcher believes if he subdues the stool, then his Mommy will
abandon her work on the computer.  In the last 5 minutes, he has chased
the stool completely around the kitchen table two times.  And of course,
his bark echoes beautifully in a room floored with ceramic tile!
But, I digress…Thatcher has, among his many other talents, the ability to
read his Mommy’s mind.  An example of this amazing ability occurred an
hour ago when he went out back and proceeded to rip into three bags of
organic soil that were sitting in one of the garden beds.  You need to
know the bags have been there for over a month.  And it wasn’t till
yesterday that I decided I’d go ahead and spread them on Sunday
afternoon.  What could have possessed Thatcher to go out and “assist”
his Mommy?  I guess he decided he’d: 1). Make dad gum sure I did as I
said I would do -- now I MUST spread the dirt -- or 2). He got tired of
3 plastic bags lying unopened in his yard.  Who knows the mind of a very
stubborn little Westie boy?
Enjoy the pix!
P.S. He’s now beginning trip number 4 around the table with the stool!!!

Two new pictures to share.  Thatcher
visited my classroom last weekend and
the picture of him resting was taken
yesterday after two days of helping his
Mommy garden.  He is so incredibly
smart and makes us laugh all the time!
Take care,

Thatcher asked that I write to tell everyone about his adventure at Caldwell
Heights today. My class won the PTA membership drive (Thatcher joined
PTA to help the cause) and today was the day of celebration.  Our class
met in the gym with two other classes, our PTA president, and the principal.
The kids worked in relay teams to stack and unstuck cups.  Thatcher
showed everyone that he can sit and give me a high five.  He was VERY
well behaved, letting all of the kids gently pet him and he snuck in a few
kisses with the office staff.  Byron took the day off just to bring Thatcher to
school – what a great Daddy!  My kids now want Thatcher to visit
everyday!           10/2005
Note to Thatcher's Mom: I apologize for
just getting these up.  I thought I had
already taken care of it but when Mom
emailed me the latest, I realized I had not
put Thatcher on the web page.  Please
give Thatcher my sincere apologies!
Jackson Bray is an older dog that was
given to L. Lupton.  "Thanks so much
for letting her be a part of our lives".
We love our Shelby and are doing all we
can to make her feel at home.  Thank
you for such a very sweet baby!!

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that our new puppy - named her
Riley - is doing great - she has adjusted quite easily and we are trying to get
housetrained and do very well most of the time......our biggest obstacle has been
getting my son's dog to adjust to having the new puppy around.....we are trying to
be patient.

Riley is a very active and playful pup and doesn't seem to be afraid of very much.  
She is eating well and has visited our vet and everything checked out wonderfully.

Thank you so much for this great puppy.   We were in love with her from the start
and look forward to many fun years ahead.
