Danny Del Rio

Danny loves that worn out old man as much as life itself.

Good morning Bill

Hope this Sunday morning finds you well.  We woke up this morning to almost a foot of fresh fallen snow.  Some of us  like it more than others.  Miss Willow has been out frolicking in the snow and thoroughly enjoys it although I am tired of shovelling it.

She is doing  well  and is an absolute joy. She is an active, intelligent and beautiful puppy who makes me smile everyday.  I am  hoping to train her to be a therapy dog as she loves people and I know she would bring joy to so many others. When I take her into the Veterans Unit at the hospital, she is the star of the show.

I am still  looking for a suitable male for her for a playmate and for future breeding, preferably a mahogany colour. Please let me know if you have anything available in the near future.

Have a wonderful day,
Jane

Good morning Bill,

I hope this note finds you all well in sunny Florida. We are also enjoying a very sunny but crisp day today as we celebrate Willow’s 9 month birthday.  She is doing very well and is a happy, active girl.  Did I mention that she is also very intelligent and more beautiful everyday? ?

I am sending you several pictures of her in the new snow and playing with her stick.  She loves sticks, that girl.  I soon have to get another puppy so she will have someone to play with.  Brandy is growing old and does not want to participate in Willow’s shenanigans.

Have a wonderful weekend,
Jane

Hi Bill! I hope you and your pets made it through the storm. I just wanted to send you a note and let you know the black Terv you sold me is doing wonderfully. He is a little shorter in stature than out other Terv, but he weighs more. They are such amazing animals. I thank you for continuing to breed these beautiful dogs. Here is a photo of Quincey Del Rio(tan) and Tucker Del Rio(black). They are the best of friends. It’s so hot down here in Southwest Florida that we have to get Quincey cut about three times a year so he doesn’t overheat.

Good day Bill

Hope you are all well and things have settled down after that horrific hurricane hit you. Just a few pics of Miss Willow as she turns 8 months old. Healthy, happy and full of energy. She keeps us on our toes.

Take care,
Jane

Good morning Bill!

Greetings from Canada!  Hope this note find you well. Here we are, already in September. Where has the time gone?  Willow Del Rio is growing fast and is a beautiful intelligent girl and we are truly enjoying her. Sending you a picture of my 2 silver girls, Bailey and Willow at 6 months of age taken this morning.

Take care
Jane

Rocky Del Rio………….I opened the front door of the house and Rocky quickly went around the corner…..here is where I found him!  (Mo was organizing the garage and had left the hatch of the SUV open….)

Stryker Del Rio       7 months of age

Stryker Del Rio is checking in and says hello to everybody.

Good morning Bill

Hope this note finds you all well. We are having a hot and humid summer here in Nova Scotia this year; Florida weather for sure. Willow Del Rio is doing well and loves to swim, play and has a ravenous appetite. She is a happy and energetic girl and I swear her legs get longer every day. Her colours are changing more and more and at almost 5 months, she is already gorgeous.

Wishing you a wonderful day,
Jane

Hi Bill,

Stifler Del Rio

I have never seen such rapid growth as with Stifler Del Rio. I assume it is the increased calcium from the soft bones all my dogs now get after our conversation about that. I am still afraid to give him hard bones. Don’t know his present weight. Was wondering if you knew the weights of his parents? ….Every nite I look at Brinkley and Stifler sleeping together and think to myself “How did I get so lucky ? “

Hi Bill,
Every evening we walk to the Oak Bay Marina, watch the geese with their goslings and look for the local seals in the bay.
Rocky Del Rio turned 2 years old last week and is enjoying life in Victoria.
Red dot on his chest is his night safety light so he can be more visible as darkness approaches. He’s a very handsome guy, and people are constantly telling him so!

Stifler Del Rio

Since my recent note: pup’s legs seem to grow longer and thicker everyday. … Before meeting you my other tervs were males. I had forgotten what the males were like. Stifler Del Rio, like the others have BIG personalities. He is like a 3-ring circus. He makes me actually laugh out loud everyday. ……………………………………. I got him a kiddie pool. After a run with Brinkley Del Rio he lays in the water and splashes around to cool down. I didn’t understand why he then always starts furiously digging into the water until taking a closer look. He is trying catch the fish and turtle pictures on the pool bottom ! ……………………………………Appetite is insatiable but he doesn’t possess an ounce of fat. Although Stifler and Brinkley are usually joined at the hip, he also enjoys playing with my husky. He is very difficult to photograph for the reasons you know well but I will eventually get it done and send them along. Needless to say, I am over the moon with my little guy! Another Del Rio pup thriving in north GA. I can’t thank you enough. Marc

Good morning Bill!

Hope life is treating you well. Just wanted to give up you an update on our beautiful Willow Del Rio. She is growing like a weed and is a happy, active girl. She makes me smile every day. I put the kiddy pool out to see what she would do and she had a spree. Check it out on YouTube.

Stryker Del Rio is doing great — we keep him very active and he runs with our German Shepherds alot so he uses up energy.

He is eating mostly chicken — loves rotisserie chicken A LOT. We are adding some rice to the chicken. I have also been giving him turkey and some ground beef.
He enjoys carrots as a treat — especially cold since he is teething and he likes cantaloupe.
He also gets some yogurt for a little extra calcium in addition to cheese. He likes cheese. For training he also gets some chicken, duck and liver jerky.
Our family eats pasta frequently and we have added some macaroni and cheese to his chicken and some ziti noodles.
Also sweet potato which we cook for the sugar gliders.

In between meals he does eat some Earthborn kibble (which my other dogs eat)because he finds some kibble they have left on the floor, but it is not his main meal.

Good morning Bill

How are you doing? Hope all is well with you and your critters. Miss Willow Del Rio is doing well and growing like a weed. Can you believe she is already 12 weeks old? She weighs almost 15 lbs now and has a good appetite. She absolutely devours deer meat. I also buy these knuckle bones that we call tartar busters and she just loves to chew on them. She is an active, happy and very smart little girl and a joy to have around. The big girls are getting used to having a little sister although sometimes they find her annoying. All in all, they are all adjusting well.

She got all her vaccinations again this week along with her Lyme vaccine so now she is up to date on all her shots. She was a huge hit at the clinic where everyone absolutely fell in love with her. The vet said she has a great personality.

Took a few pics to show you how she is growing. I just finished brushing her which was challenging but it’ll get better with time

Brinkley Del Rio                               Stifler Del Rio

Brinkley wagging her tail for first time today and has turned the corner. Have named the pup Stifler Del Rio. His fun loving euphoria parallels the same as movie protagonist Steven Stifler from American Pie.

Hello Bill, wanted to give an update on Tess with photos.  First day exploring the smaller pen with “doggy door” access into the house.  We are getting the flea infestation under control, she’s much more comfortable now and doing well.  The drive home was a little stressful for her, but once here she was great new surroundings and new people.  Beth’s daughter came over with her two young boys (2 & 4yrs old),Tess was chasing them around the property and was not frightened at all.  She also met some friends and was so calm and good.  We had given her a bath to start the flea eradication process, we’ve knocked them down to unnoticeable, but start ADVANTAGE later today.  A little crate training to keep her from chewing on any of the antique furniture, gets a little whiny twice a night.  She’s going to be fine. 

As you can see, she and Bella have taken to each other, very sweet to see.   Included a couple photos of her in yard today, had a break between downpours.  She is a little beauty, amazing personality...and brave.  One good little girl !  

Thank you again,

Ernie and Beth

Willow Del Rio…..sleeping on Dad’s comfy warm shirt

Good morning Bill

Hope this note finds you well.  I wanted to let you know how little Willow Del Rio is doing.  To use a Nova Scotia expression that says it all, she fits right in like a pocket on a shirt.

She is a lovely, intelligent and an extremely sweet girl.  We are thoroughly enjoying her and I have fallen in love with her.  My husband says I should have brought 2 home as he wants another red one.

The dogs have decided after a week to finally accept her but we still keep a very watchful eye when they are together.  She is eating well, is fed 4 times a day and has a very good appetite.  I am feeding her chicken, a little ground deer meat, rice and sweet potatoes.  She also gets a spoonful of yogourt every day and loves it.  She sleeps through the night like a good girl and is happy and playful throughout the day following Bailey everywhere.  She makes me smile.

I will start the second round of deworming tomorrow and she will get the Lyme vaccine beginning of June.  I will keep you updated on her progress.

Have a wonderful day.
Jane

Stryker Del Rio…..Celebrating our dog trainer’s birthday.  15.5 weeks 16 pounds.

Willow Del Rio….age 9 weeks…on her trip home to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

After 2 flights we are finally here safe and sound. Willow Del Rio is an absolute sweetheart.  She slept snuggled up to me all night until we got up at 4 am.  She was so still I  had to touch her a couple of times to make sure she was still alive.

She nibbled a little bit of chicken this morning and drank a little water.  She was a HUGE hit everywhere we went.  She was constantly surrounded by people and she loved every minute of it.  What a heartbreaker! She slept like an angel through both flights and as soon as I got her home, I pulled out some good home cooked food and she gobbled it down.  The vet said the Advantage  Flea  treatment wouldn’t hurt her, that it was probably all the changes and the travel that was upsetting her.

As you can see. She is quite content now.

Willow at the airport. What a movie star!

Stryker del Rio is doing great.
