More Letters ....I love to get 'em

 

This past week Riley (left) turned two and Boomer turned six.  We wanted to share a birthday picture with you and to let you know how adorable they are. Denise and Laura Ventimiglia

Linda I want to thank you again for my little "Lotus", she is just a doll, and has fit in very well here. She is going to be one special little girl to this Shih Tzu family. I will send pics of her as she grows. We are very proud to own a Balogh baby.

Linda,

 Here’s a  picture of Sadie. That’s the name we gave to the beautiful puppy we bought from you.

We took Sadie to the Vet’s on Tuesday and she was given a clean bill of health. She weighed in at 1.13 lbs.

She received her next set of shots, wormed ,  stool sample, and her nails cut. She was a perfect angel until they cut her nails. She didn’t like that one bit.

Sincerely,

Hi Linda:

 
I just love looking at your new babies.  Little Miss Thumbelina is a tiny one - but so chubby!  They are all so cute!!!
 
My Rosie is now a big girl of 7 years old.  It sure doesn't seem like it's been that long already.  She just seems to get more wonderful with each passing day.  I truly can't imagine my life without her.  She gives me kisses in the morning, when I come home and several times during the evening and then before we go to sleep.  Her nickname is Velcro cause wherever you are, that's where she wants to be - can't even go potty without her checking on me, geesh!
 
Well, just wanted to say, Hi and thanks again for letting me become Rosie's mommy.  Best present I ever got in my entire life.

Hi, Linda this is Diane long time no hear. I see you have been very busy. I wanted to call you and talk to you about my mom and a puppy. She said about a month ago  she wanted a puppy. I told her I knew just the person to get the puppy from, because I had research and built a relationship with you.  Can you email e back and let me know when is a good time to call you. Have a blessed night. You can call me any time on my cell phone 313-XXXXXXX

Hi Linda,
 
Mulligan sends his love to his first Mom.
 
Thank you for being such a wonderful breeder.  Because of you we have our little guy who brings us such love and laughs.  He is so wonderful with our Grand Kids, and everyone else he meets.  He will be 5yr. old on July 15th and is doing so well.
 
Please feel free to give my number to anyone who is thinking of getting a puppy from you, I would love to tell anyone how great you are!
 
Mulligan would love your Calendula, Chamomile & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar as his gift from you and he thanks you very much!

Linda,

            We got our dog Boomer from you almost four years ago now, and we were wondering when would be a good time to come visit.  By the way, he is precious! He’s the best dog: calm, loving, and cute!  E-mail me back and let me know when we can visit.  Pictures of him are attached.

Hi Linda!  I bought one of your puppies back in February.  I met you in
Sagninaw to pick him up.....Well just a note to let you know how things
are going.  He's name is Pepper and now is 6 months old.  I recently had
pictures taken of him at 5 months old and would like to send you one for
your collection.  I would like to mail it to you but have lost your
address.  If at all possible could I get your address so I may mail it
to you.  He is doing very well.  My mother especially likes to watch
over him, took him all over the neighborhood to let everyone see him!
He is such a good dog and is learning many new tricks.  Will wait to
hear from you and thanks again....

Thank you so much for our baby. He brings sooo much joy and laughter into our lives.

God Bless!

Hello Linda,

 I just wanted to write and let you know the little boy Charlie I got from you is doing wonderful, I could not of asked for a better little boy! He is not all that little but I call him my little boy lol. And he has such a great personality, he is just a sweetheart and feel very lucky to have found him. I have took some pictures of him the other day and thought I would send you some so you could see how much he has grown and how beautiful he is, thanks again for my little lover.

 

Hello!
I just met Barbara Heart with Tashi at a Garden and Pet Store in Lake Bluff, Illinois.  Tashi is the CUTEST DOG in the whole world!  My husband and I were cat owners for years until our son developed allergies to animal hair (CATS and HORSES and some dogs).  I have considered trying a small, 'hypo-allergenic' dog, but thought I would wait until our son left for college in a couple of years...I will need a major distraction, as we have only one child, and the house will become very quiet.
Standard poodles were recommended to us, however, I prefer a smaller dog. 
Tashi was NOT hyper and progressing very nicely with her obedience training...she was also NOT a barker, as some small dogs are so YAPPY.
I just fell in love with her.
THANKS FOR LISTENING.  Barbara sent me an email with your website and I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how sweet little Tashi is...and how happy Barbara is.  There was a group of us sitting on the floor around Tashi in the store...holding her and admiring her.  I think she REALLY LIKED the attention!
Sincerely,

Hi
 
I have a blue male that I bought from you and he is
beautiful.  I very much would like to get a chocolate
female.  Can you put me on the waiting list?  I would
appreciate it. 
 
My little blue male is small and the most handsome little
boy ever!  I love him to pieces!  You have wonderful puppies.
 
Thank you

He is absolutely perfect!! I thank you so much for him. He is adjusting well. He is very playful and loves the boys. He had his first play date with Ava's girls today. He is very frisky and loves to growl and nip at them (a true man). He will be registered under my name Lorie Balbosa. I have decided to change his name to James as it seems that he answers to it all ready. Please do not forget to add me to the Chocolate's waiting list. Fyi he uses the wee wee pads all the time!! This is a true testament to the type of care and upbringing your pups get. I have and will all ways refer any one to you for the best SHIH TZU'S in the world. God Bless

 

Linda,
Just wanted to share a photo collage of Gizmo with you, and to thank you once again for such a wonderful puppy. I cannot believe he is already a year old! He has brought such joy to our lives. He is a playful, lovable ball of fur! He is gentle with the kids and very well mannered. As I said before, I know that training plays a part in this, but I believe that his good temperment comes from good breeding. Thanks again!
Megan
(PS the picture of Gizmo with the pumpkin -lower right- is the most recent. The picture in the upper right hand corner is the first day we brought him home)

 

Hi Linda,

How are you doing? I thought that I would write to inform you that little Indigo is doing just wonderful as you can see in the pictures. He will be starting advanced training class in the beginning of September.  I must admit he is a very smart puppy! He already knows all of the basic commands very well, so now I'm starting to teach him little tricks. He is spoiled rotten, but that's ok, because he is my baby..I spend a lot of time with him and when we go out I get a lot of compliments about him and about how cute he is and how everyone loves his color. 

I just wanted to say thank you again, for a wonderful puppy. I hope you enjoy the pictures and Indigo and I will be in touch soon!

Hi Linda , Just wanted you to see how 2 of your babies are doing.
Benjimen weighs 4 lbs and Prascilla weighs 3.8 lbs. They are getting
along with Delilah and all the cats.. Everything is going fine.

Have a great day

Hi Linda,

I want to thank you again for such a wonderful addition to our family. Sometime in the future, we'd love to get Gizmo a baby brother or sister, and my husband and I won't even consider adopting from anywhere else....I check your site often and just love all of those cute little puppies!
Thanks again, Linda!

Dear Linda,

Thank you so much for giving me such a beautiful baby boy. We love him so much.

Hi Linda
I was just too exhausted to lug out my laptop last night.  The little
guy was a prince all the way home all 10 hours.  We got in at 10:30 and
that included a stop at the grocery store.  He either slept in my
daughters lap ( and sometimes on her chest as she slept also with the
seat reclined back) or he rested QUIETLY in his crate.  I couldn't get
him to eat anything on the way but he seemed very content so I wasn't
worried,  I gave him water  out of the sippy cup and he liked that.  He
had 2 little accidents in the crate and both times I got off at a rest
stop and cleaned him up right away with the wipes (they are wonderful,
I'll be ordering more...).  It was too cold and wet for him to be out
to try to potty anyway.  He was so relaxed that at times he laid in my
daughters arms on his back with his paws up in the air and his head
tossed back snoring!  That was so cute.  
He played, ate and slept last night from 1AM to 7AM this morning.  He
just finished breakfast and his first romp in his new neighborhood.  He
follows me on his leash and I let him romp in the grass which he
thought was great.  It is about 45 here.  We are going to get him a
sweater and leash today.  He is a wonderful and well adjusted little
guy.  We love him dearly already - he loves us and plays well and gives
plenty of kisses - even my boyfriend the "big dogs are the only way to
go guy" is mesmerized.  He charmed the entire block this morning as
folks were heading to work.  I can't get more than 5 steps without
everyone making over him.  He is cuter than his pictures did justice
for him!  He just makes us laugh to look at him.  That face is
priceless.   I couldn't be more pleased.  Thank you for breeding such wonderful contributions to the breed.


Hi Linda,

    Wishing you some happy holidays, and a quick Maia update.  She is turning a beautiful silver creme color.  She is about 8.5 lbs., and is spoiled rotten, as all tzus should be!  She is preparing for a trip to Florida after the holidays, and hopefully her coat won't bother her too much!!  We will send you some beach pics!!  Anyway, thanks again :o)


Hi Linda,

 Just wanted to send you a more recent picture of Chloe (Bogie and Pikachu's daughter).  She is such a delight to have.  At 10 months, she now weighs 8 lbs.  She's spoiled rotten, thanks to her Daddy, but then with a face like that, who wouldn't love her.  I made her an Xmas coat and she pranced all over town wearing it.  It was so funny. 

Happy Holidays. 

Hi Linda,
It was very nice meeting you and your family yesterday. I wanted to let you know that Charlie Brown did wonderful his first night here! He is eating and drinking great, and he is spunkier than ever :)
I was very impressed with your shih tzu's. They are all very beautiful dogs. Charlie is one of the most beautiful pups I have seen in a long time, and with working at a vet I see alot of shih tzu puppies!! I will keep you updated on his growth and his life long journey with us. I look forward to purchasing my next puppy from you. I fell in love with all of your dogs (especially Rolo) and my husband like Caramel. You have a great bunch a furbabies!!!
We have decided to keep his name Charlie Brown...it fits him well and he knows his name, thats very important.  I just adore the little guy!!!!!!
Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!! I love forward to talking with you and visiting you again!!!
Sincerely,
Thressa (and Charlie Brown)

Hello Linda,

Well, it has been a year since "Boo" has come to live with us and our lives have not been the same since. She is the most perfect little girl anyone could want, so loving and trusting and all around perfect with the best temperament. Since my husband and I are retired now we have been able to watch her grow daily into the lovely gal she is today. She immediately wins the heart of everyone she sees and is especially fond of children.

Boo has a beautiful coat and I am trying very hard to keep her is full coat which is not easy since she is somewhat of a tom boy. She loves rolling in the grass and mulch and running under the shrubs. She always has some kind of plant or leaves stuck to her long flowing locks.

I know that her temperament, good looks and personality is all the product of good breeding and care and for this I thank you. Keep up the good work.

Regards,Shirley

 


Hi Linda,

Wanted you to see our beloved Dudley he'll be 7 months in May. We just
adore the big lug, he's the sweetest thing. Thanks so much for
creating such a healthy, happy puppy.  He's very smart but no common sense! =)


Have I told you lately how thankful I am that he is in my life.  He has really made a bad situation with my mother a great outcome.  He is just a big light in the sky, that brighten up anyone life.  I took him over a friends house to show off.  They tried to puppy snatch him.  They think he is the greatest thing like me.  He got along with their dog a Japanese Chin and they played till they both fell down.  He isn't afraid of anything.  The vacuum cleaner, mop, heights nothing.  He still hasn't made a mess in the house.  I went out and when I got back he didn't bounce around so I asked him if he needed to go outside.  He just sat with his head up at me looking as if he was going to float away.  I think he was afraid to move for fear he would get too excited and pee.  As I was opening up the outer door he started to squirm and tried to jump out of my hands he had to goooooooo.  Got him on the snow and he just stood there peed and then showed how happy he was to see me.  He is such a good boy.  I just  love him to death.


Simon visiting my parents. My Mom wants to steal him, I think my dad is even worse, he held him most of the time I was there. You did a wonderful job of raising this puppy, nothing scares him...the hair dryer, the dishwasher, the clothes dryer. That is what I like about a breeder, puppies are raised in their home and they are used to so many things already. He is going to make me a great little buddy. He already finds something of mine and curls up on it if I'm out of the house. I adore this boy.

Thought you might enjoy a pic or two of Simon. He loves to play in the snow........for a few minutes! He is a very sweet boy, very loving and a real lap hound.

Hello Linda,

The family and I are just in love with our puppy "Olie" that we got from you.  He has adjusted well, and is now able to sleep in my bed with me. (without any mishaps~).  He is a wonderful pup.  I thought you would like an update, as I know you loved him too.  You can see below a picture of him with our other dog seymour.  They are best of buds now.  They are both the extreme....one big and the other small.....but the same color....they are just too cute.  But, I just thought I would say hello and thank you for this little guy.


Dear Linda,

   I was just on your web site, we are thinking about getting Jazzmin a sister. I wanted to thank you again for my baby girl!

She is so wonderful. She has the best disposition, she loves everyone and everyone loves her. She is also very smart she pretty much trained herself. She loves the snow. I took her out after the first snow thinking she might be a little reluctant. I was way off. Jazzmin sniffed it, pounced, pranced and then fell in love.

  Thanks again, Dina


HI Linda,

I just wanted to say Hi, and send you a pic of Bogie's daughter, my sweetheart Dominique. I know that I always love to get feedback on my creations, so I though you would enjoy a new pic of her. Her coat is stunning. She is an absolute joy to behold. She has a very gentle and loving  personality, and is always by my side. Many thanks to you and Barbie for creating such a wonderful masterpiece, and thank you for sharing her with me. Happy New Year!!

Dear Linda

 

Thank you for meeting with us and going out of your way this past Friday.  We have both been very impressed with your generosity, from giving us all the wonderful things that our puppy is familiar with (he loves his bed!!), to the level of confidence in our little scruff nugget.  In the short space of time since we have had him, he has warmed up our home and made us laugh and smile so much.  He is truly a happy dog and, that is a testament to you, and your hard work, he is used to people and the normal noises of our home, and isn’t scared to be himself. 

 

Once again thank you for all your hard work in raising such a delightful puppy, and we would be happy to recommend you to anyone.  Perhaps some day we can get a little brother or sister for him!

 

Best regards,

Maria & Joel

 

We are calling him Minty.  In England there is a show called EastEnders, Minty is cuddly gangster with a heart of gold, and that’s how our Minty is, tries to be tough but is really soft on the inside.

 

Photos to follow soon – can’t get him to sit still long enough!

Linda - This is a long overdue thank you for our puppy.  She is the absolute love of our life.  Our grandchildren love her too and love to come and visit just to play with her.  She is healthy and lively and almost house trained.  We have very few accidnts now and most of them are our fault for not listening to her.  She is trained to a wire type kennel so she can see everything that is going on.  But that is where she chooses to sleep and where she goes I think to be safe.  We close the door only at night.  She has had all her shots and gets regular grooming and vet attnetion.  The groomer told us that she is very self assured and confident and that it would take her two or three months to train us.  She is doing quite well in that regard.  I get up first in the morning and take her out.  By the way, we call her Luci Liu after another wonderful Chinese American.  Lucy was also my grandmother's name.  I know it is hard for you to part with your babies but it must make it easier to know how much joy they bring to the lives of those lucky enough to adopt them.  Thank you again and you may rest assured that you will have all of our references for those who are looking for puppies.  Warm regards,     -Don Bays-
