	April 02, 2007 Hi Bob and Laura, I thought I would update you on Tiz, other than being spoiled, she is really doing well, adjusted and becoming my best friend. Took her and we to a hunting preserve in Eastern South Dakota. It was about a 1200 acre preserve and more wild birds than planted. Tiz did real well as she rock solid pointed two wild birds, I shot them for her, and it is amazing the desire it put in her to hunt after being on the birds. She didn't think she could pick up the down birds but she did try to drag them back to me---by the neck. I am sure the retrieving will come with age. But, the trip to put her way ahead for our hunting trips next year. She also, for a young dog, listened and handled very well to me in the field. I am enjoying her very much. Take care and we will talk some time. Len

	Hi, Just thought I would let you know how Jem is doing. She has all her shots now and is growing tall. She weighed 19lbs last Wed. the 24th. The vet said she is doing really well. Dennis took her on her first hunting expedition on Saturday the 27th. She was afraid of the pheasants at first but grew accustomed quickly and she is not gun shy. She thought she was lost in the tall grasses and when she came out as Dennis called her she was so happy to see him. She is a funny and loving little girl. Jake and her are getting along splendidly. Thank You, Cathy and Dennis

	Bob Just thought you would like to see a photo of allie and katy resting after a hard day of playing. Talk to you soon. Mark South

	October 19th 2010 Bob and Laura, It took Belle (your Lilly) about 2 minutes to find her place in our hearts, but it took her 2 nights to find her place in our bed where she sleeps soundly every night snuggled up between us--so much for the crate! She is so precious and very smart. She is already finding birds--has a beautiful point and quite a nose! She has found birds right under our feet when we were sure there were none around! It's easy to see that she is having fun and loves to be out hunting. I love to see her running with those little dark ears flapping and that little white tail wagging so hard it looks like it might come off! She went to the vet last week for the last round of her puppy shots and weighs almost 17 pounds--so she is eating well and growing fast. I'm not too capable on this computer, but I'll try to get my daughter to send you some pictures soon--especially of her fist point--she's sooooooo cute. Thanks to you and Grace for producing such a sweetheart' Kaki and John
