Whiskey Del Rio  and  Willow Del Rio  ….  at play with Mom

here is Rocky Del Rio resting up after a long journey.

Rocky curled up on his Costco bed, just outside our door.  Looking pretty comfy.
The entranceway has an overhang, so if it rains, he stays dry.

Bill, Fannie Del Rio is doing great. Here's a couple pics from last week modeling her new harness. Hope your doing well.

Here is our handsome Whiskey Del Rio at 7 month of age.

Hi Bill!

Hope this little note finds you well. We are getting a lot of snow right now and the dogs are sure loving playing in it. Whiskey Del Rio is thriving and is now taller and heavier than Miss Willow Del Rio. They are such a riot to watch, so sweet together and always inseparable. Never a boring moment here in snowy Nova Scotia.

Best regards from the Del Rio’s of the north.

Ok mom, let us in now.

Rocky Del Rio is getting ready for New Year 2020 in south Florida….he reports that Life Is Good.

Tessa Del Rio has been great with Lena Del Rio, such close buddies and are usually attached at the hip.  Tess has been a good “mommy” while Lena was down, very concerned.  She has grown to be such a beautiful girl, fast as a Greyhound and runs miles around the big yard every day.   Both girls are big and strong, protective and yet are very sweet with children and other animals when we have them out in social scenarios.  We try and get them out as often as possible, they socialize well...good girls.  People always come up to ask about them, not sure what breed they are.  Comment on their beauty and demeanor, and the girls always accept the attention!

We thank you daily for the girls, they are great for us and for each other.

Willow Del Rio……Did you ever think this little Florida girl would become a sled dog? Started training her today and she’s a natural.

Bill, here is a recent picture of Fannie Rae Del Rio. She goes in for her final shots this week. She really wants to play with the boys and she is only about 20 pounds so we’re going to wait until she is around 30 so she can hold her own. We’ve been training her some and she’s a real quick learner: she’s got sit, down, leave it and stay mastered. We’ll eventually teach her heel. She’s a wonderful addition and our 95 pound Charlie & 125 pound Atticus don’t know she’s going to be the boss; she has alot of confidence. We hope you have a very happy holiday season and thanks again for our beautiful little girl. Marc & Ellen

Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace, love and joy and a happy, healthy new year.

These two just love one another!! Shelly is acting like a mother over our little one. We named our new addition “Asia Del Rio”. She’s a very happy puppy.

Both are asleep right now because they play all day! Potty training is getting better. We keep both dogs inside, especially at night. Asia had to get used to our other huge crate for potty training. Now she wakes us up when she has to go outside. Thank you so much for her, just a huge joy for Shelly!

Hi Bill

I am closely tracking Hurricane Dorian as it batters the Bahamas. I hope it will change course and move out to sea and you will all be spared. Stay safe and please keep me updated after the storm has passed.

Willow is loving having Whiskey as her new playmate. They are constantly playing, wrestling, running and cuddling too. Whiskey is stretching and getting stronger everyday. He is a feisty little guy with attitude and we just love him. Sending you a few pics.

Best of luck
Jane

 Good morning Bill,  been a lot of activity down here with the hurricane situation.  Still hoping it will continue on projected path and keep offshore...but it’s path has changed so much every single day. 
> 
> Anyway, while the weather still good, we’re having some laughs with these nutty mutts !  Tessa and Lena have a new larger pool to splash around, they love it as you will see in video. Lena is stretching, those legs getting longer and putting some weight on, think that she will be a good size match for Tess.    They run so much, burn everything off quickly.  Those two love eachother (Bella too)and Lena is such a good girl...what a great additional to the pack !
> 
> Got to go do more prep, just in case this storm decides to make a big mess here.  I’ll send updates

> Be well

Good evening Bill!

Stryker Del Rio is just as amazing as Dixie Del Rio was. We thank you so much for this lil’ bundle of fluff! We flew back to Minnesota a couple days after we picked her up. She was great on the flight home back to Minnesota. When we woke up the next morning it was 59 degrees. When we left your place it was 110 heat index. Quite a temp change for her but it didn’t bother her a bit!

Keeping a close eye on the grandkids playing in the shade at low tide.

Good morning Bill

Just a quick note to let you know that Whiskey Del Rio is settling in quite nicely. He is such a sweetheart and what a personality! He and Willow Del Rio have bonded very quickly and are inseparable. My husband now has 2 lap dogs. Will keep you updated.

Good evening Bill

We are home safe and sound after a long day of travel. Whiskey Del Rio was a superstar on the plane and slept the whole way. Everyone commented on what a good boy he was

Here is the handsome boy waiting to board the plane.

Lena Del Rio and Mom

Lena Del Rio   and  Tess Del Rio

 Lena Del Rio did real well on her first day, a little restless overnight...snoozing now.  She and Tessa are going to be great buddies, already playing tug with rope toys and acting like nuts. That will take some of the pressure off of Bella, the old girl just can’t keep up anymore.   

Thanks very much again Bill, we’ll send updates as Lena grows

Rocky Del Rio……Sunset walk on the beach every evening. Life is good! Sea fog rolling in here this morning with a coolness attached.  Rocky turned 3 on July 4!  He’s like a Ferrarai compared to all the other dogs around here, who are Volkswagen’s!

Willow Del Rio and Daddy

Good morning Bill

Hope this note finds you in good health. All is well in beautiful Nova Scotia. Miss Willow is happy and healthy and a ray of sunshine in our lives. She loves to cuddle. Her morning ritual is to jump up on my husband and snuggle right in. She thinks she’s a lap dog, I swear.
