DOLLS AND BEARS
Hey Kim!  Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you, I just haven't had one minute this week to run to Target and get the pictures done. So, finally some pictures!! Pretty much all of them are his first two days here. Plus I just had to show you him on the goosedown comforter. He's so cute how he falls asleep on there almost immediately! By the way, Tim is in these, and he is gushy over Sully like that all the time :) Adorable.
 
Sully is doing so so great here. He got attached to us right away, which was so cute because he would follow us everywhere! Even if we were only walking two steps away :) He has since gotten more comfortable in his new home, and gradually got the courage to wander down the hall and into the bedrooms by himself. He is so friendly and playful with everyone, and he is certainly the talk of the town! No one can get over just how cute he is!
 
Plus, I'm so excited that he got housebroken in only FIVE DAYS :) I felt so bad putting him in the crate and I was worried about not keeping him on a good schedule, but he actually took to it so well, and he loves being in there! So his housebreaking was a lot easier than I thought.
Thanks! Collyn 8/08

He is doing great, we decided to name him bean. We took him to the vet the day after we picked him up. The vet was very impressed with his health. We took some pictures and I figured you would like to see them.  Thanks, Ryan 4/1/09
Kim, Thought you would like to see some pictures of Oliver as he has gotten so much bigger since you last saw him. He is such a good puppy.....not the typical terror puppy!!! I'm the PTA President at my sons school so I am at the school all the time. Oliver goes w/ me & loves running around & seeing all the kids. He has become the school mascot. Thanks again for everything.  Allison Moore 1/27/09

Hi Kim, Attached is a new picture of Molly that Nolan took last Saturday.  She is growing and doing very well.   We are still working on the potty training and decided to try the bell by the door.  She goes to the door but not always – it is certainly a work in progress. 
 
I wanted to ask you what shampoo you use and/or maybe other things to use to make her smell so good.  I got some puppy baby shampoo and Dean is not crazy about the smell.  It works really well as it makes her so fluffy and soft but he liked how good she smelled when we picked her up from you after you had just bathed her.  He wanted me to see what you used to make her smell so good.  Thanks for you help…..once again.  Molly sends her love!  Beth, 3/09

Hey Selina... Glad you emailed me.  Yes, I just got a puppy from Kim.  She is awsome.  My puppy was born 1/24/08 and we just got her on Easter Weekend.  We live in NC so we had her shipped to Raleigh which is 2 hours from our home.  Kim was very good about pictures and updates up until the day she shipped her.  I actually found Kim's information on a random website from a google search on 'shihpoo puppies'.  Her pricing is reasonable for shipping and everything.  I was in touch with her via web and phone the whole way through the purchase. 
 
I emailed her what I wanted and she sent me photos of Izzy and asked if I liked her.  I said yes and she told me about how to pay and stuff.  I did it all through paypal which is secure.  She sent me a puppy contract via email and I filled it out and sent it back.  After that it was just waiting.  All while we waited, Kim was in touch with me, updating me and answering any questions I had and so forth.  So then it was time to get Izzy... well, shipping from Iowa was hard because it snowed in WI that weekend and the flights were delayed and everything.  Kim kept me updated with info and she drove 2 hours out to drop Izzy off the original date of departure only to find out cancelations occured.  I'm on my end freaking out and Kim actually got in contact with some people she knew to watch the puppy overnight for me that lived near the airport.  She called me and asked me if it was ok first though.  I thought that was awsome because she could have just taken our money and said 'oh well, I shipped her..' But she took full ownership and made sure everything was perfect all the way until we got her.  She got the flights changed and everything to ensure we got her in time for Easter. 
 
When we got Izzy, she had a kennel, a ziplock bag of the food Kim feeds them, a pet health record with shot records and health clearance for shipping.  She also has a print out of tips on caring for the puppy and the American Canine Hybrid Club Dog Registration papers that show the Sire and Dam's info. 
 
Izzy is a great puppy and we were so pleased.  I was scared to death to pay that kind of money online and wait to get her shipped.  I have my friend getting one too.  I am thinking about getting another one from Kim.  Kim is great.  Let me know if you have other questions...Hope this helped you.
