Hope you and your family are doing well. Attached is an up to date photo of Miss Cally. She is getting so big. She is growing into the most amazing dog and best friend. I think she definitely takes after her father "Mellow" Moses!

Here's Rocco relaxing by the backdoor! He's getting so big but is still our baby boy! Hope all is well with you guys and you're enjoying springtime!

Wanted to share a milestone with Mr. Orange today. He graduated with flying colors from obedience class this morning. We had a contest and guess who came in NUMBER ONE...............................OUR BOY :-) He then went to The Lakes to play with his Little Red. He is one pooped puppy but he was a STAR!

Fun to share our adventures! Pictures attached.

Sunshine is weighing in at 44 lbs of beautiful blond.She has developed an amazing thick wavy cowlick that runs down her back and is a darker golden then the the rest of her body.She has a knack for finding and bringing the shoes of the person she wants to walk her to the owner of said pair of shoes.(amazing) She had her very first visit to our local dog park two weeks ago and was very popular.Sunshine and our Rat terrier Bella are now best friends, Bella protects Sunshine at the dog park . They spend their days together tracking and digging up gopher and rabbit holes.

My 4 y/o daughter and Sunshine are wrestling /tea party buddies. Sunshine is amazing with her and is always so careful not to bite her too hard no matter how rough the play. Sunshine broke out of her Kennel weeks ago so we find that no door is necessary and she comes as goes as she pleases. We are amazed out how quickly she adapted to a routine. She leaves her kennel every morning at 5:30 am by her self, trots up stairs to say wake up and then its out the door for a walk/run/trot. Sit,lay,crawl and leash training were a breeze. I really feel as though this dog came to us alredy trained
Sunshine is family!

Hope all is well! Sawyer is doing great! He can sit, lay down, shake, high five and 'go to his place', (between our legs). Guess we will have to keep thinking of some new tricks...he is very motivated by food and super talented! :)

He's beautiful, mellow, goofy and sweet. He is going to be a fantastic dog. I take him to Lowe's with me and I can barely get out of the store. People are very enamored with him and he is so easy on the eyes! I'm thinking he is going to look a lot like Moses.

I attached a picture today from our walk...he looks beautiful and the way he is sitting makes him look like a goofball. :)

Oh, I will attach one of him on Tim's lap at the vet...what dog is ever that relaxed at the vets??!!

Toby (Mr. Blue) is doing great. He has been working with a trainer that comes to our house. He has learned many verbal commands and even several commands using only hand signals. The command "drop" is definitely the most commonly used at our house. He steals the mail, shoes, shin guards, etc and hides his stash under the dining room table. He thinks he is so sneaky, but he is so obvious when he grabs something that he is not supposed to have. He slinks out of the room and looks at us to see if we are watching. He has learned that if he drops what he has, he can get a little treat. Toby is so smart that now when he wants a treat, he brings us the item that he has just stolen, drops it in front of us and then runs to where we keep his treats. I get he has got us trained. He loves playing with the kids. He hasn't figured out how to retrieve yet, but certainly plays keep away with them. He also loves hide and seek. They will hide in the yard and call him. It is so funny to watch him try to find them and when he does, he struts with pride. He loves to tag along and follow us wherever we go and sometimes that even means trying to get in the shower with one of us. He pops his head in and tries to catch all of the water drops. He loves visiting the beach at the end of our street. You can just tell that he is going to love the water especially when it gets warmer for him to completely swim. Of course, he also loves getting dirty at low tide. My parents are really enjoying Toby as well. I am beginning to think that my parents actually think he is a grandchild. They now take more pictures of Toby than of my children. My dad even creates Toby slide shows on his new laptop and has put it to music-"You Got a Friend in Me"! My dad is the one that visits Toby each day while we are at work/school, so they have really bonded. As you can see, we are truly enjoying our new addition to the family.

Hope all is well with the Nichols family, two and four legged. Just a quick note to let you know that we are truly enjoying our little Ms Lucy. My husband and I are officially retired now and loving every minute we get to spend with her and her brother Oscar. Lucy and I are now attending Puppy II classes and will graduate from that class in two weeks. She is learning very quickly and picks up most everything with very little effort it seems. She is the only girl in her class of 8 puppies. She is really playing that for all it is worth. Everyone the calls her the little princess. Here are a few pictures I snapped of her this morning as well as a photo of the small quilt my sister-in-law made of her. The quilt hung in a large quilt show in Richmond and was auctioned off in a silent auction to raise money for her quilting guild. I was so proud and hung around to listen to all the people admiring how cute she was. I hope all Lucy's brothers and sisters are doing as well as she is. We could not be happier with her. Anyway, thank you again for all you put into raising these beautiful amazing creatures. I am starting to work on my husband to get another from your kennel of beauties. Take care and tell your son we are taking very good care of Lucy for him.

Fynn is an amazing little boy, he is loved by all at day care and the light of his trainers eyes.  He has been going to her Saturday classes to show the clients what their dogs can become, he's the local star!!  He continues obedience and agility at our facility and like everything that little guy attempts he excels.  I had promised a photo of him swimming well, finally here they are.  As you can tell he is a typical Golden, loves the water and continually beats Georgia to the water toy. He and Georgia are the best of friends and like Georgia is training to become a service dog.  He is the happiest puppy I have ever seen, a testimony to the early enrichment you and Monique did with the puppies.  

I know every time I email I thank you for allowing us to have one of your amazing little ones but as you know we have had many Goldens, our little Fynn is exactly what the gold standard is...Thank you, thank you
