Dear Cheryl:
What a wonderful puppy.  Rusty and Lee stopped over on their way home with Casper and we are all in love.  He is beautiful and already we can all see that he is going to be a "great dog."  He had a bit of sea legs for about a minute when Rusty put him down in the yard, but then he played and leaped and rustled in the leaves.   When he came in the house you would think he had been here before.  He acted like he belonged.  I just couldn't get over the way he took to the whole family, and was so completely in control.  I have never seen a puppy like him and we have had pups all my life.  It certainly is a testament to your breeding, nurturing and socializing talents.  You have every right to be very proud of your dogs.  You can rest assure that he will be well loved and taken care of.  I am positive that Spirit of Sambuca will be every bit as sweet and lovable as Sambuca was and what I am sure Casper will be.
Isn't life wonderful.  To be able to enjoy these animals.  It's a little hard for me to call them animals for we always think of them as a member of our family.   So now I have a new and darling grandbaby.  I just wanted you to know how I feel.
Sincerely and with much affection,
Helen Cliver

Hi Cheryl,

Casper is doing fine, making his self right at home. Him and Chloe are starting to play together now, that chloe has gotten over her fright of the little puppy lol :) Everyone in the family is in love with Casper, from Aunts&Uncles to Grandma to cousins. This family makes there pets part of the family that for sure. Sister Carrie (our daughter) just loves him and think he so adorable. Russ & I are proud parents needless to say, lol.
Besides being cute as can be, he is funny as all get out, and always has us laughing at something or another.
Cheryl just wanted to say Thanks so much for raising wonderful babies, and letting us be fortunate enough to have one of them. Of course I think we got the best one lol :)   we really do enjoy him.
Well better close for now will hope to here from you soon.

Have I mentioned that I couldn't have asked for a more perfect puppy? He lets me know when he needs to go out at night by whimpering a little, and he immediately does it when he goes out. And what a little cuddler!! I can never thank you enough.

Just thought that I would let you know that the little guy arrived in good shape and seems to have made the transition quite well. Sleepless nights for us though as the pup has more energy and stays up far later that we can
manage. The kids love the dog and we are enjoying him.

Thanks again Cheryl.
