"When I got home last night Newton was playing with his big brother Mozart
and the two were getting along great. Newton loves to nibble on Mo's long
floppy ears. He whined a little bit during the night - I'm sure that he misses you
and your family. It is so obvious that he was loved (he loves cuddling) and we
do too. His fur is so soft and he smelled like a newborn baby.
My sister in law and her children came over last night to see him and he was so
warm and friendly. Just curled up with whoever was holding him. . . .

It was so fun to meet Rob and
Tara at the Saint Louis,
Lambert Internation Airport.
Rob tells me, by the time they
left there, Nolan was famous!
They flew in from Canada, and
stayed at the airport until they
caught another flight back home.
More pictures are on the way.
Rob and Tara sent us
these pictures of Nolan
with 3 of their children.
They can actually see the
falls from their backyard.
Here we see the American
Falls and the Canadian
Falls.
I love their pretty Christmas
tree, all done in white.
When they are looking
at Nolan, they know that
they have the best looking
Cocker Spaniel you could
find.
Plus, what a smart puppy
he is!!
I actually got to hand deliver Winston to Rob & Tara,
in Canada - Feb. 2008. That was such a fun week-end.
I wish we lived closer - for sure!!!
I do have more pictures to share too, and when I get them dug up, I'll put them on.
Rob and Tara showed me around, treated me like family, and we just had a super nice week-end
together.
If we were neighbors, Joan
and I would be visiting every
day. We got to be pretty close
over the couple of months of
waiting for little Abby.
For them, the search for a
little buff Cocker Spaniel girl,
began before Abby was
ever born.
Grace took this picture at the
motel room in Tennessee. She
is going to be a great
photographer someday.
Little Abby looks so much
like her mama, our Posey.
Abby has become so much
a part of Don and Joan's
family, and their daily
routine.
"Abby continues to be the
same way. She loves life.
She's so happy, loves to
explore and have
adventure.
. . . . We love her so
much and she's such an
important part of the
family. We couldn't do
without her. She brings
us so much joy.
God bless you.
Have a great day.
love in Him,
Joan"

When we took Abby to
meet Don and Joan in
Tennessee, we also got
to take Norman to Tom
and Gina.
Tom was wanting a
sweet puppy to give
to Gina as a surprise. We
were able to get all
the details worked out,
w/o her ever knowing.
