It has been a long time since I sent you a picture of the new love of my life!!!!!!! Bo is the best, sweetest, happiest, calmest most playful pup EVER!!!!!! His personality is getting better EVERY DAY!!!!!!  He and Dottie the Bulldog sleep like this and I soon need to get them a bigger bed....they play from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed with  few big naps in between!!!! They are just a great duo!!! I think of you every day and I am grateful that we found you.....he is just perfect!!!! He is all trained on invisible fence already and passed his 14 day training session with flying colors.....his favorite trick is PAW for a treat!!!! He is is just a delight!!!! When I see him in the morning he gets out of Dotties bed and i sit with him on the floor and he climbs into my lap and just snuggles with a smile on his face!!!!
xo Katie and Bo!

 

OMG......we feel as if we are blessed with the most wonderful puppy EVER......he is so SWEET, so HAPPY and so confident......he certainly is already family dog!!!! He loves all the kids and he LOVES our bulldog.....they go out for pee trips side by side.....he is doing great....only one wee on a towel inside but it was my fault as I wasn't opening the door fast enough...other then that i take him out often enough that he does all his business in the grass....230 am, 430 am, 7am.....i feel like there is a newborn in the house but this this little tiny sweet stage passes so fast so i am secretly enjoying visiting with him in the night! we are so excited to raise him to be like kooklah and and all your other dogs.....they clearly lived in a home filled with love....your puppies show it!!!!!!

I want you to know that I went to our local holistic pet store today (5 minutes from our house) and had a LONG talk with the owner....we talked about everything you told me and how I wish someone had done so for me when we got our old Golden.....he thought SO highly of you and wanted your name for his files....he promotes good breeders and would love to recommend you as you are one of the few battling this terrible growing problem with a basic understanding of HIGH IMMUNE SYSTEM and LOW/NO TOXINS and all the ways to do so.  John, the owner, swears by NO VACCINES. He agrees that Bella's immune system was doing fine until she was bombarded by her summer vaccines (we had not taken her to the vet in three years because there was nothing wrong....then my "guilt" for what I was made to feel as "neglecting the health of my dog" made me take her in....one month later she was a different dog and three months later she was dead.  MUCH TOO SAD and such a direct link.....whether or not she had the cancer already i will never know but she was doing fine with it if that was the case....her immune system got hit and the disease took over.  SO with that said, I kick myself but I was not ever educated....I did what I thought I was supposed to do for the health of my dog.  I got the name of a new vet that they love and recommend (Dr. K H,  Ct) and I was able to get an apt for Monday morning....he did not approve of the DVM M. F. vet that I had previously booked with. So thank you for trusting us with your Pup....we will not disappoint you!!!!!
xo Katie, Nick and kids!

 

Hi Ted,
Eric and I would like to thank you for a very memorable afternoon.  Your dogs are very lovable and sweet, thank you so much for letting us meet them, they are very special.  We were very touched and won't forget our visit for a very long time.
After reading the info and also having a golden that received an active distemper shot and eventually died...  So I do not want the distemper shot for my new baby boy.
 
Thanks again so much for our special visit and the great pictures.
sincerely,
Eric and Sonya

 

Dear Ted,

Just wanted to thank you for allowing us one of Bebe and Hollywood's puppies. Our Chase is doing wonderful and we all adore him, including our other Golden Lily. He is very strong and healthy and has a great personality. Again, thank you and we will keep in touch and send some pics. The Lombardo family

 

Here is what the family who now has Ollie (Bebe/Hollywood male puppy) has to say about Ollie;

Hi Ted,

"Today Ollie was more playful with Duke and it was encouraging to see Duke respond just as playfully! I do believe that Duke’s spirits are better because of Ollie. The right food and supplements will no doubt make the biggest difference. Thank you so much Ted for Ollie. He might not save Duke’s life from cancer but your influence will give him more precious quality time and for that I will be forever grateful. Ollie will be the best medicine for me when the time comes and I can tell already he will be there no matter what. Ollie is sweeter than words can describe and he shows a sense of loyalty already. My daughter could not believe how he comes when I call his name. Sits when I command sit. Stays when I say stay. Pretty awesome I must say and Ollie is VERY attentive to perfection!"

Well Ollie says it is time to smell the roses!
Tell your wife hello and I know she will want to see the photos of his new home.

P.S. Russ found a great Organic Food Source only 5 minutes from us!!! He’s been there and Ollie can attest the food is the best!

Paw Hugs!
Love, Ollie

Hi Ted
Thanks for the picture!  Phoebe is doing great. She is a happy and very healthy girl. Very spunky but not crazy and super loving and affectionate. She is just a sweetheart. My mom has been sick and battling cancer and Phoebe has cuddled up to her many of days and made her smile. Phoebe loves her grandma, her whole body wags when she sees her not just her tail ! She is beautiful.  Thanks so much!
 
Hope all is well with your family. Say hello to your wife for us.

Good Afternoon Ted,
 

Thank you so much Ted for keeping in touch and helping me through the grieving process when Duke got his golden wings and joined his long-term friend of 11 years Duchess March 30, 2010. Ollie was a true blessing and kept our family whole even though it was hard on him too losing Duke the only golden to share his home. Now it is our turn to make Ollie’s world whole again. Soon Ollie will be joined with a female puppy from his parents, the best parents a pup could have, Hollywood & BeBe.

Who knows, you may have a litter born to honor Duke born on his birthday July 14th.

I fell in love with Hollywood from a photo but there is so much more to him than meets the eye! He’s the best!
I know you told me that BeBe has the sweetest puppies. I really had no idea how really sweet Ollie would turn out to be!

Lots of Paw Hugs Coming to You and the Wife!

Hi Ted,

I wanted to confirm receipt of your PUPPY/ADULT NOTES including the dangers of Vaccines. Very well written Ted. I just finished it and Russ is reading it now. What a privilege to have this inside information after living with two beloved golden retrievers passing due to cancer. Duchess passed with cancer of the spleen, which was a sudden death without our knowledge that she had cancer at age 11 1/2 years old. Duke had transitional carcinoma cancer diagnosed in June 2009 passing at 11 1/2 years old March 2010. I hope your pet owners take this seriously Ted because it is not just a theory on paper. I agree that following these PUPPY/ADULT NOTES will greatly influence our golden pup’s years. You know Ted that I can attest to the changes I made as a pet owner in order to give Ollie the quality of life that he deserves.


Thanks,
Shirley and Russ

Hi Ted,
   Been meaning to drop you a line for awhile now, but have been so busy around here.  We moved to Long Island about a month ago and am trying to get settled in here.  Also, lost my camera along the way and had to go out a get a new one and figure out how to download them so I can send pictures of our Ollie to you. 
   I can't tell you how great she is.  She is so well behaved and full of energy, but not too crazy.  She is absolutely beautiful, we are very proud to say and everyone that sees her is blown away.  We found a holistic vet over here so everything is well  in that area.  Ollie is just over 4 months old now and weighs 42 pounds.  She is growing in leaps and bounds.  Her diet is really good and she is as healthy as ever.  He gave us a flea and tic spray (natural--I believe it is Quantam) to put on her coat and we have just started doing that since we found 2 tics on her just this past week.  I am going to put down the diatomaceous earth on our lawn also.
  Hope all is well with you and your family.  We can't thank you enough for giving us one of your puppies.  We love her dearly.
Pictures attached.
Thanks,  we'll keep in touch.

Ted,
    Hello from Long Island and sorry it's been so long since I was in touch.  We've been busy as I'm sure you have.  Ollie is doing just wonderful.  She is absolutely the most beautiful doggie and we love her so much.  Her personality couldn't be better.  She is quiet, loving just wants to be by your side which is exactly what we love.  She gets very excited when people come, goes and retrieves one of her many toys and brings it to them just to show not to take.  She loves to run which we let her do everyday and sometimes twice on the weekend when we have more time.  She's in great shape, just about 66 pounds.  Still no shots and she takes her vitamins everyday.  She is still eating the Chicken soup for the soul food and I make her her treats so I know what ingredients are in them.  We couldn't ask for a better companion.  She is so loving.  Her favorite spot is on Joe's lap on that chair.

"Hi Ted

Thank you for the picture. Lacey is doing great! My two Golden's, Sadie and Allie are so good with her. They seem to know she is a baby, so gentle with her.
 
She is fitting in just fine. She is especially fond of my son Ryan, he is spending a lot of time with her, training and watching over her. We'll keep in touch and
send you pictures so you can see how she is doing. Thanks and take care."

Hi Ted,
 
Just wanted to fill you in on how great the puppy is doing.  Her trip home was wonderful. she didn't get car sick at all.  She absolutely LOVES Matthew and he absolutely LOVES her!  We named her "Lexi".  Her first vet visit went great...NO VACCINATIONS!!!  She's in great health. 
 
Thanks so much for blessing us with the perfect addition to our family!

(A Bebe and Hollywood Male puppy 2 years old)

Hi Ted,  

All is well, hope the same with your family too.

Today is Bear’s (a.k.a. Shooter) 2nd birthday party!  It wasn’t long after arriving home we changed the name to Bear giving him his own individuality.

Bear is almost fully grown now and provides so much love to the family.

Thanks Ted. The Waterson Family

"Bear" --What a handsome Golden he is turning out to be!  If Bear follows his dad Hollywood, he will get his full coat at 3 years old.

Hi Ted....How's everything? Lacey is doing great! She's so beautiful! She is such a sweetheart! She sleeps beside me every night and in the morning
she gets up in the bed and puts her nose right on my cheek and is so happy! Hope all is well with you and your family.

Take Care,

Kathy & Dave
