Hi Gaye: Jock is doing fabulous.  He has officially fit in with my pack, he doesn't harrass and hump anyone and mostly has to answer to Believe, who doesn't let him get away with anything.  And he loves having a girl to boss him around!  There have been no problems between him and my border collie, I introduced them both very slowly and it went well. He hasn't figured out my dog door yet, so I bring him to work and he and "Believe" man the reception desk, so he's making many new friends.  He's almost scared of the clinic cats, which entertains me, he moves to the opposite side of the reception area when they come up front. I started letting him sleep with me a couple nights ago, and he thinks that is the best thing ever.  He sleeps stretched out besided me on the opposite side as Believe.  He loves the raw food and stools have been fine.  I did check his stool which was negative and so was his heartworm test.  So far this has gone smoother than I thought it would!   Teresa C,, DVM Indiana, USA Here's another update :o)   Jock got to do his first agility class tonight.  He was brilliant.  He is so quickly figuring out what he needs to do to the point he can run through a tunnel by himself after just a couple tries!  But the coolest part for me is that he got to be the calming influence on a reactive little Pomeranian in class.  He has ended up being the first dog that the little pom wouldn't react to, he had to share his cheese to do it, but he was happy to, and ended up with more cheese because of it!  That was really amazing to watch.  Jock is an amazing boy!  Thanks! Note: Conquest Jock is an intact adult breeding male placed into a performance home with Teresa. He accompanies Teresa to the Vet clinic every day along with his daughter "Conquest Believe".   Hi Gaye, I just wanted to "thank you" for 15 years of love, affection and companionship! I got my "Jake" from you at 7 weeks old in 1995. He was the offspring of Loblolly Lazer and Conquest Custard. The quietest and largest in the litter. I know you had some apprehension about us. We were young (I was 25 years old), newly married and living in downtown Toronto. But Jake fit right in and as our family grew (we have 3 kids) he grew right along with us.       He has been a constant presence in my life. Jake accompanied me everywhere I went right up until this past November, 2009 (he developed arthritis so it was too cold for him to be outside for very long). He walked my kids to and from school everyday, he went shopping with me, ran errands with me, and was a constant source of security when my husband was out of town. He loved our cottage. Walks, swimming, paddle boat rides and digging. He had the best life and it showed! He was always very healthy until about 6 months ago. He slowly lost his sight and hearing. He started to develop arthritis and was quite stiff. About 6 weeks ago he started to pace all the time and walk in circles. I knew it was the beginning of the end and I was devastated. We made the most of every last minute with Jake. This past Thursday (March 2010) we all said "goodbye" to our beautiful "Jake". After 6 months of deterioration I knew it was time to let my friend go. He could no longer walk. I am heartbroken and never expected to be so sad. Thank you for the (best) 15 years I had with such an amazing companion and friend. I will never forget him. I loved him more than I ever realized... Regards, Lindsay W.   Gaye, Thank-you for your guidance and time working with us on the integration of a new pup, Claus, into our home. We do appreciate your consultation and extra care with the introductions. As a small gesture of our appreciation, we have made a donation, as thanks to "Conquest Terriers", to the Jack Russell Terrier Research Foundation. Although their research takes many donations to support their work, hopefully our $100.00 positively contributes to the betterment of the JRT breed in a small way. Thank-you very much, Gord and Reta C, Burlington, Ontario Claus' big day - going home with his new family:) May 5, 2010 a follow-up email with a new picture as below. Hello Gaye, I thought you’d like to get an update on Lando (formerly “Claus). As you can see from the attached picture, he has grown considerably – almost 6 kg at 5+ months old.  He has the most amazing temperament.  Anyone who meets him can see that he is always happy, with his tail wagging whenever he is interacting with people.  He and Kelly get along very well.  We have not had a single incident involving serious aggression (touch wood), although they’ve each fallen into their respective roles well with Kelly being the dominant one.  They play constantly in the house and backyard, with a routine of play sessions throughout the day I’ve noticed.  He clearly loves to be around her and she really enjoys his companionship.    Gord and I are so pleased to have him as “our boy” – he’s a sweet JRT who has enriched our lives.  He began his puppy training (John Menzies does send his regards by the way) and is doing well.   I just wanted to write a quick note of "Happy Holidays" and again THANKS! Thanks SO much for breeding WONDERFUL dogs! I'm sure you remember Hattie - (A.K.A. Lacey). I couldn't imagine my life without her! She is ME in "dog form". I cannot wait until she get a little older and set in her ways to get her a brother. You haven't heard the last of us! Thanks and Happy Holidays - Genevia and Hattie, California, USA   Gaye, It is difficult to put in words how much we love, appreciate and adore our new Conquest puppy "Jake". He is the perfect example of fine breeding, wonderful temperament, smart and fun dog all in one.  The shipping process went unbelievably well.  Kudos to Continental Airlines. He arrived on time and was delivered directly to us in the terminal (happy with tail wags). Continental was extremely careful and obliging . Jake is already part of the family, playing with our other Jack Russell and teething on our fingers. We are so happy with him that we wish we had six more. Gaye, thanks so much, I know we will have many years of enjoyment with "Jake" Personal regards, Jack & Darla S. West Palm Beach, Florida   Just a little update on Jake.  He is 7 lb.  Got his second shot today.  Everyone wants him...He knows his name, comes on recall and sits most of the time.  He learns things every nicely.  He and Murphy are buddies. We could NOT be happier. Oct. 21, 2009 - Another a quick update on Jakie.  We went to our first training class today.  Karin his teacher had him running thru the tunnel, jumping over the bar and up and down the V bars in just one try.  He loved it.  He is very smart and tooooo cute for his own good.    Hope all is well with you.  I will send pictures from our next class.    Take care, Darla June, 2009 Dear Gaye:  Our baby arrived safe and sound.  She was just perfect.  We live about 45 minutes from the airport.  Jane held her on her lap and she kissed her all the way home.  When we got home we fed her and she ate like she was starved.  We have the training pads for her to go potty.  She went as soon as we got home like she had held it for hours.  We got the heating pad and kennel set up and she sent to sleep.  About 4:30 this morning she let us know she had to go potty.  I put her out and she went immediately then back in the kennel and she sent right to sleep and slept until almost 9:00 this morning.  She got up went potty on the pads, had breakfast and wants to be a lap dog with us now.  We love her and she is adorable.  She is smaller than I thought she would be but what a sweetheart.  Again thank you for your kindness in dealing with us and raising our little Lily. Jess and Jane W., Utah, USA June 25, 2009 We continue to enjoy our Lily.  She has not had a single potty accident since we got her.  She is fetching a little ball.  It is so cute.  We can’t believe that she is doing all these things at such a young age and she is so tiny!!  What a delight.  We have a large fenced back yard and she is enjoying exploring and running with the kids.  We didn’t think we would enjoy her as much as we do.  She still sleeps about half way through the night then lets us know she has to go potty, we take her out on the deck off our bedroom and she goes almost immediately, we put her back in her bed and she sleeps until about 8:30-9:00.  Now how could she be any better than that.  Jess and Jane W., Utah, USA Editor's note - Lily was purchased after several long distance communications were exchanged about litters of puppies and was subsequently flown to her new home in Utah, USA                Hi Gaye We have had Sam for 6 months now and I just thought you might like to have an update on how he is doing.  As you can see from the pictures, he is fitting into our family just perfectly.....from games night to sitting in his bed so politely with his legs crossed!!!   He is a great dog – full of energy for our walks and playing at the park with the kids, but also so happy to curl up beside us to watch a movie.  He really has become a bit of a mommy’s boy though.... he is my little shadow, everywhere I go, he is only a step behind.  As you know when we got Sam, we had recently lost our first JRT and we were really hurting from that loss.  Sam has helped all of us through that, and although we still miss our Mazee deeply, this new little guy has brought us so much joy.  We are really looking forward to camping with him and taking him to the cottage with us this summer  - we are anxious to see if he is going to be a swimmer like Mazee was. Thank you Gaye for this great new addition to our family! Traci, Brian, Triniti and Holly

Hi Gaye! Just thought I'd send you off a quick note on how Tango & Sassy are doing (Sassy is now called Tinker)... They've become very close to each other, and have quite a bond. They have totally different personalities, Tango is laid back while Tinker is always on the go! Although both value their cuddle time on the couch with us equally. I've attached a few pics for you, the one of Tink and the foal was just taken last night. Our latest foal was born yesterday morning, and he's become Tinker's baby... She sleeps in the corner of his stall when we are doing chores, and will lay next to him when we're in the stall. It's really something, that she has these mothering instincts on a baby 10x the size of her.             Conquest Tink licking the newborn Clydesdale foal & watching carefully over her adopted baby I am moving west on Monday, to Alberta, and have decided to leave both Tink & Tango with Mom & Dad. I just couldn't split them up, and the rest of my family loves them so much, I thought that this would be the best decision. Shortly after making the decision to leave the dogs here, I was researching breeders in Alberta. It crossed my mind to get another pup off of you, but I didn't want to take a young pup on the airplane (although I'm sure you do it all the time). I thought it would be best to get settled in before bringing a pup into the house. The woman I purchased a pup from is Suzanne Hunt of Foxwillow Terriers. After having such quality dogs from your breeding program, I have become quite particular on choosing a pup. I noticed Suzanne had some of your breeding in her program, and after going to visit her and her dogs, I chose a pup out of her current available litter. The mother of the pup is a Rivet Granddaughter. So much for this being a 'quick note'... I just wanted to let you know how much happiness Tinker and Tango bring to our lives, they're perfect little terriers :) Thanks again for breeding such wonderful dogs!                Kristen W., Caledonia, Ontario

Tag and I have competed twice in agility trials in novice.  We started off with a BANG!  Tag qualified and placed first at her first real agility trial.  Then last weekend was her second trial and she got two qualifying scores and two more first places!  Qualifying scores means she did everything with no major mistakes.  It takes three qualifying scores to earn a title.  She has one Q in Standard (with contacts) and two in Jumpers.  She is doing so well, she makes some novice mistakes but she really is very steady.  Nothing seems to bother her, she stays focused on her job.  I am very proud of her.  I could not have asked for a better fit in a dog if I tried.  I am not entering her in agility much yet, I don't want her to have an issue and not be able to fix it.  I am entering her in about one or two trials a month right now, we have one more in two weeks and then two in March.  She should be more ready by the summer when there are many trials.   We continue to compete in flyball, she has run in 4 or 5 tournaments and has been very solid.  She is running again this weekend.  We hope to come to an Ontario tournament this summer.   Hope all is well with you, stay warm.  Maureen & Tagurit Hello again: We had another great show last weekend at the big Cobo Hall dog show in Detroit!  Tag qualified both times again and two more 1st places.  That is a tough venue, huge crowds and lots of noise, I was surprised she did so well.  So she earned her first title (NAJ - Novice Agility Jumpers) and moves on to Open.  I'll keep you posted. Maureen & Tagurit - NAJ, FDCH-S (flyball dog champion - silver)            I am sure you can tell how happy I am with Tag.  She has fit in perfectly with my other dogs and has been great fun to train.  I lost my big dog in July to cancer (he was only 9  :c/).  He played with her all the time and protected her from my other dogs when he thought they were playing too rough.  Tag has been a great distraction and she willing accepts all my extra attention.  She is soooo outgoing and friendly.  Everyone in her classes, dogs and people, know her and have to greet her.  When we walk in the training building, experienced dogs actually have stopped working to come say "hi" to her.  She seems to have a charisma about her that makes everyone smile and want to see her.  She plays with dogs of all sizes, one of her favorites is a Bernese Mountain Dog!  She also loves Belgians, since my big dog was a Belgian Malinois.  She will play with anyone, but she really prefers the attention of people.  Our instructor has threatened to come steal her away!  She is a special girl. See you, Maureen & Tagurit Hey Gaye, I just wanted to take a second & tell you how happy I am with the puppy that I got from you.  "Believe" is everything I was looking for in a terrier.  She has the temperament, structure, drive & attitude to excel at agility.  She is amazingly easy to train, seems that I only have to show her how to do something once, & she's got it all figured out! And she amazes me how fast she is already, she can catch my border collies when they are out running & playing!  I have to be careful when I take her to agility trials, everyone keeps threatening to steal her, they all like her so much!  I have a feeling that's only going to get worse when she is old enough to start competing!                                                 Conquest Believe at 7 1/2 weeks of age - boldly climbing the garden wall. I can't thank you enough for taking the time and knowledge to breed such wonderful dogs.  You and your kennel are an asset to the Jack Russell community, as your dogs really do improve the breed.  You don't mind if I don't tell the agility world about your dogs do you........  I'm afraid that words going to get out anyway! Thanks again!! Teresa Calvert, DVM and Conquest Believe         Believe above, photo taken during early agility training.                Believe as an older puppy relaxing at home Hi Gaye, You asked me to keep you posted about your little girl; she is pure joy! After playing for an hour she is now sleeping in my lap as I send this to you.                             She is eating better, sleeping more and loving every minute of her life. She loves to play with us. She will actually retrieve a small ball and drop it in front of me. Russell would never do that, he had to be the winner. This is  my little girl; I have four sons and most of our pets were male. I love to brush her and will buy her a feminine leash. I would never put ribbons in her hair but anything within reason that still allows her to have the freedom of a dog is cool. I understand that Jack Russells are the latest fashion item in New York; women carry the poor country dogs in their purse. Wind Up is going to be tripping through the Bruce Trail with a pretty light weight leash. Thomas adores her. When he doesn't have large dogs he sleeps with her; otherwise she sleeps with us. As you can see one dog is not enough for our family; therefore the boarders supplement her. We still have not introduced her to other boarding dogs. Today she met Diesel an English Bulldog; they wagged their tails across a glass sliding door and when I opened it two inches they seemed very amicable. Now for the bad news; I liked her name but Don insisted on calling her Sabrina (the name of my first dog when I was fourteen) an Airdale Terrier. You may still call her Wind Up. I didn't get your pics in your email. I will send you ours.    Thanks for giving us so much joy! Since she is never to be bred I feel very fortunate and a little selfish because she is one of a kind that will never be reproduced. I guess it was supposed to be like that or it wouldn't have happened. We feel so privileged. Also thank Elise for being so patient with us; she is quite a compliment to your work. Take care, Agnes and family. Orangeville, ON Update regarding Wind Up/Sabrina sent Jan. 6, 2009 In every aspect of her life she is adjusting beautifully. She is so delighted with our guest dogs at our Gordon Pet Services Inn; she is quite a flirt and a social butterfly. By the way her and Diesel Swissy (the greater Swiss Mountain dog) are the greatest of friends; he has to bend down for his kisses and seems delighted to do so. She is eating well, sleeping well, house trained, well almost, about one accident in the past week and becoming quite independent. Sometimes if Don and I are watching a movie she prefers lying by herself in another room; I guess we have to respect her need for privacy. She has already brought us so much joy that words cannot describe it. Thanks for that Gaye.

Good afternoon Gaye: How are things. Well Viper and I had a lazy day today after he helped me rake some leaves in the back. Actually, after I raked the leaves and Viper chased the rake. He's a great little guy to take afternoon naps with. He is such a cuddly little guy. By the way he loves shoes but he is starting to grow out of the shoe bit and he is moving onto bigger and better things. He is a great learner. I am amazed at how quick he learns.  He is probably 95% house trained now. Whenever he wants to go to the bathroom he goes to our sliding door and waits until we let him out. My wife and I love him soooooo much. My mom just adores him I won't keep you long. I thought I would send you a quick pic of Viper with one of his favourite toys.                          Enjoy Gaye and keep in touch. Paul and Nadia Mississauga, Ontario

Hi Gaye;

I wanted to send you some recent pictures of our beautiful little Zoe and to let you know how pleased we are with her. She is a wonderful dog and has brought our family so much joy. She is a good little dog, very lovable, very calm and quiet and good with other dogs. The only trouble we have had with her is with a vaccine. She is very allergic to the Leptospirosis vaccine and we had a scare recently with that vaccine. She reacted to it and she will not be able to have that vaccine again. That worries me a little but we will just have to make sure she stays away from puddles, etc. because there is a lot of wildlife in our area - ducks, geese, raccoons, etc.
We are beginning family dog obedience next week which I am looking forward to. I had enrolled before but I was not happy with the instructor's philosophy so I have changed schools. The previous instructor was big on pushing off leash parks and walking your dog off-leash and I am totally against this - especially with a Jack Russell! Already Zoe is showing selective hearing - if she is busy digging or see something more interesting, she chooses to ignore us. Also she is starting to show a little independence and trying to dominate - she will growl and snap if we pick her up when she is comfy or if she gets in the "mood". I get lots of different opinions about what to do about this. I know we will get advice from the dog obedience classes but you are experienced with Jack Russells, so what do you do when they are starting to try to be the alpha dog? She doesn't respond to "NO" but sometimes continues. She doesn't do it very often, but I want to stop it now.
Again thanks so much for your wonderful breeding. It really is evident in the quality of dog we have. Whenever people comment on her, I always mention you and how important it was that we got her from a good breeder. People are always quick to tell stories they hear about the breed, and I always tell them that you just can't  get one anywhere - you have to make sure you take the time to go to a reputable breeder. It really shows in Zoe - she is such a good little dog.
If you could let me know what you do to discipline when they try to dominate, I would appreciate it.

Conquest Terriers' comment - I do not recommend giving Leptospirosis vaccine as it has the most frequent & serious reaction of any vaccination. Please bear mind that a dog with a healthy immune system should be able to ward off most diseases.

Hi Gaye:

We just wanted to let you know that Snow White is now Maggie. She is doing great and the kids are loving her. She is growing fast and she is spoiled.
We wanted to thank you for such a great dog and we are looking forward to having a lot of fun with Maggie. She is an energetic and free spirited dog and we love her very much.
Thanks again.

Just wanted to tell you that Brody is doing great!  He has fit in so well in our family.  Every day we go for walks with my parents dog Jack, a Portuguese Water dog, they have become best friends.  Being from Newfoundland I was finding it hard to find a Jack Russell breeder, so I hopped on the internet and thankfully found you.  I sent off an email and only a short time later you replied.  From then on you guided me through the whole process and you were so quick to answer every question.  I was also a bit hesitant on getting a puppy from such a long distance, Brantford Ontario to St. John's Newfoundland.  But you assured me that everything would be fine, and sure enough our little guy arrived here safe and sound, we have been best friends ever since.  Even though we have never met I feel like we have known each other for years.  Once again thank you so much for matching us with a great puppy.

I just thought I'd drop you a line and let you know how "Tango" is doing. He is a pup we bought from you almost a year ago (where has the time gone)? He was born November 8th, and is out of Nymph.

We're very pleased with how he's turned out, he's so full of personality! He's definitely a suck, and he demands attention from everyone who comes to the farm. I've attached a few pics of him from this past summer, he's in his "work clothes" (filthy dirty). He was out helping us build the new fence around the paddocks for most of the summer, which was when it was found out how much he loves ATV rides. Nobody can start the machine without him hopping on, even if he is inside the house he will throw a fit until he is let outside to go for a ride.

He is enjoying going to the horse shows with me, whenever I open the truck door he jumps right in waiting for a ride.

When we purchased Tango, it was a few months after we lost our first JRT, he definitely had big shoes to fill as there were big holes in mine, as well as my family's hearts. Tango has definitely helped to mend the broken hearts, and as you will see in the pics, he's got my dad wrapped around his little paw.

Thanks again for raising such a great pup!

In June 2005 we first met Gaye having ordered a Jack Russell puppy.  We drove to Brantford, Ontario and her farm where we picked up our doggie and of course met Gaye.  Her professionalism was superb in her advice, backup paperwork and handling of her dogs.  She made absolutely sure in various ways, that we were suitable parents for her little breed.   Needless to say, our dog, has changed our lives and we resort to emailing Gaye quite often for advice about every aspect of dog life. 
We live in Mexico where we encounter quite a few tropical veterinary problems.  So, in short, we would recommend at the highest level going to Gaye for your Jack Russell. 
The breed is fabulous and we will always have one.  Our biggest mistake was not to get TWO at the same time.   
We love our doggie Kulu which means braveheart in Zulu.  Thank you Gaye.

Hi Gaye,

     Sorry about not getting back to you sooner but this is the first time I have been near a computer all summer. Rocket is doing great!  She is now really part of the family. She had doggy school all summer at the beach. We would get up and be at the beach by 6 a.m. twice a week for her lessons. She is really quick and so eager to please. The other mornings I would take all three of them down to the beach to romp and play with a multitude of dogs ranging from JRT's to Great Danes. They all got along. Rocket knew when to back off and when to jump right in instinctively. She really has no fear. Everyone loves her, we loved hearing, "Here comes Rocket….."  She actually seems to laugh out loud.  Can you tell we love her?  I have quite a lot of pictures on my home computer so when I get a chance I will send them to you.

I will tell you more later,

Thanks again for such a well adjusted puppy.

Hi Gaye

I just wanted to say a few words on the wonderful addition of Pippin to our family.  We had a ruff year last year loosing a family pet of 14 years.  Both my husband and I wanted a smaller dog as we live on a farm and have two Yellow Labs and needed a pup that would get along with a grumpy old dog.  We decided on a Jack Russell Terrier.  We had many pet enthusiasts tell us if we get a Jack we will regret it, as they are hyper, yappy and destructive.  Well we didn't listen to them and started pursuing finding the perfect Jack.  We referred to you from another Jack Breeder.  We came down for a visit and you had several puppies in all different age categories.  We had only wanted to visit for an hour but it turned out to be longer than that and it was a great time.  We got to play with the puppies, go for a walk with them all, see your kennels, it was a fantastic day.  The next morning there was an e-mail from Gaye, she had picked out a pup for us if we were interested.  Well I came down that very same day and picked up Pippin.  She is an amazing puppy.  I have had many dogs in my life, but she is very special.  This has been seen by a lot of people such as vets, trainers, friends and neighbours.  All that told us not to get a Jack has had a change of heart regarding Jack Russell Terriers and I believe this is due to Gaye's knowledge of breeding and her dedication at producing good puppies. She is one year old today and we couldn't be happier with Pip.  I have taken her to obedience school and she was best in class.  No surprise there.  Now we are looking at putting her into agility as she just loves to learn.  You always have her full attention when in training.  Pip comes to work with me most days if I don't have a meeting.  Co-workers come in just to see Pip.  All in all I would recommend Gaye as your breeder for your next JRT pet and I would definitely recommend a Jack for your next friend.  Jacks are truly amazing.

  "Its been awhile, I just wanted to update you on our JRT Brian and   I adopted from you in Feb '06. Tessa is doing great she coming on vacation with us up to the cottage this summer which should be eventful! We don't know what we'd do without her, she has been an awesome companion, and we think she's the best looking and smallest dog in the neighbourhood at least that's what everybody tells us.  There have been lots of laughs! She is by far more entertaining than we expected and our hearts go a flutter every time she greets us when we get home from work. Thanks for breeding the best terriers around!"

Hi Gaye:

I just wanted to let you know how happy we are that we chose your guidance on getting our new puppy. 

I looked at breeders from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and you.  I talked to many breeders for several weeks and took my time looking for a breeder and pup that I felt confident in bringing into our home with our current Jack Russell.  The main key I felt was to find a breeder that I felt could give me a healthy pup #1, a pup that would be compatible with our current dog #2, and a pup with the right personality/temperament #3, and if it will works out to do agility with, that would be a bonus but not paramount.

 As you know I live in Chicago and stopped by you to look at your available litters.  After talking to countless breeders I felt most comfortable with you and only one other breeder in my long long search.  I was torn between deciding between two puppies that you had and told you.  Your suggestion was that either would probably be alright for what I was looking for and sometimes you need to just "Go with your gut".  A week later, My choice was to "Go with my gut" and decide on the one you felt would be the best fit for me.  I am very happy that I decided to take your guidance and get the one you felt most appropriate for what I wanted.  He is more than I had expected, a perfect fit and probably will be more as he gets older!!! 

My advise to any one looking to get a new pup is:  Take your time!   Look for a breeder who you feel comfortable with.      LISTEN TO THE BREEDERS ADVISE TO WHAT PUPPY WILL BE THE BEST FIT FOR YOU!

 I felt very at ease visiting your house and kennels.  You have many extremely nice looking dogs ( Both health and aesthetics ).

If I can let some one know about you that is looking for a new dog, I would feel very confident in suggesting that they consider you.    

I will keep in touch to let you know how our puppy progresses.

Thanks a Lot!   Greg Wojtecki - Chicago, IL

Hi Gaye,

Hope you are doing well. Just keeping in touch. Athena is doing very well and is now spade ( she picked out the stitches herself :-) ) She is a remarkable dog and you can trust her 100% with all the kids. If you should ever come across another Athena please let me know. I would be very interested. Age does not matter. We love her so much.

All the best.

hi gaye -  

i just thought i would let you know what a great breed of terriers you have and that i am so glad that you were recommended to me by ann r.  

greta.... i'm not sure if you remember her (she was born to be in shows but couldn't because her bottom teeth were off by a few mm, and we took her 7 months mature) is still a great addition to our family along with calvin, and if their check-ups are any indication, i reckon that they will be around for some time - they are 11 + 12 now but still act like teenagers.  luckily we have only lost one skunk, a chipmunk and a rat.

 please find attached a picture of greta from this past winter + summer. 

warmest regards,
