Puppy Parent Emails (3)

	PEACHES Hello Elaine,   I was scrolling through your website, watching the videos you've posted there and was quickly overcome with happiness. There's something about beagles that just does that to you. Peaches does that for me every single day. I remember the day she officially became my pet.   I had just gotten home from my grandmother's house and entered my living room only to find a can of peaches lying on the table. I was so confused. I could tell there was an odd vibe in my household and my parents were anxiously looking at me as I stared at the can of Peaches, puzzled as ever. And then all of the sudden, I heard a whimper. My dad always says that he had never seen a look of such excitement and terror when he saw my face. My parents then let peaches out of a cage. Words cannot describe how elated I was! I knew that a puppy would be arriving at our house very soon, but not this soon! As Peaches (I decided that was going to be her name even before I saw her) ran out of the cage and then towards me... she made a sudden detour... and peed on my Mom's precious rug. I couldn't have cared less where she peed (though my Mom sure did, she was a bit cautious since she'd never owned a dog before) because she was my little Peaches. ..... ironically, it was only a matter of time before my Mom began to pamper and rely on Peaches just about more than anybody in our household.   Over the years, Peaches has earned countless nicknames. Peachy, Peach-tree, THE Peaches, THE Peach, Peach, Melocotones (Spanish for Peaches), Gooda Puff, Gooder Schnooder, Regal Beagle, Seal-face, Penguin (she can stand on her hind legs like a penguin) and Clicky (because you can hear her nails "clicking" down the hallway as she walks.)   Whenever Peaches is pet, she needs to be touching the person who is petting her with her paw. Whenever she goes on walks and sees another dog, she goes running towards it... and then passes right by the dog and straight to the owner so she can be pet. Peaches intially started out with one bed. And before you know it, one turns in to two... and two turns in to three. Needless to say, Peaches has about six beds now. It's ridiculous! But it's also pretty funny.   Whenever I'm out of the house and I see a dog, I am immidiately reminded of Peaches. As soon as I see a dog, I want to hurry home and hug Peaches. Oh, and she gives hugs, too! She stands on her hind legs and sticks her paws out onto your shoulders or palms. I swear, sometimes I feel like she's human. And she does, too. Haha!   I have to say that nothing means more to me than being able to come home and always having Peaches there to greet you, happy that you're back. Despite my state of mind, whether it's sad, happy, or anything in between, I am always glad to have Peaches with me during these times. My family and I love her so much and would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We would love to come visit Caulderwood some day.   Oh, and Peaches says "Hello!"   - Sierra, Paul, Irene, and Peaches

	Hello Gary & Elaine, Chloe is doing great. She is 11 weeks old now. She is the sweetest and most beautiful puppy! All of our neighbors come by to see her when we're outside and they can't believe how cute she is. She loves everyone and is so friendly and playful. She has a boyfriend across the street. He is a golden/lab mix named Chilly who is 3 days younger than her. Chloe is now 6 pounds and Chilly is 20 pounds already. It's  funny to see them play together because he looks like he could swallow her whole! Luckily he is a very sweet boy too. She is also soooo smart. She can already sit, stay for a little bit, look in your eyes when you ask her and do down. (For a treat of course) We ask her to sit before she goes in and out and she sits and looks in your eyes before she gets her food. She is doing well with potty training and has not had many accidents and is doing better with crate training. We have attached a couple pictures of her. The one of her sleeping in the blanket was taken the night we got her and the other one was taken tonight. We hope you enjoy them and again, we hope all is well. God bless you all and thank you for such a special puppy. We'll keep in touch. Laura

	Good Afternoon, I just wanted to give you an update on Chase.  Chase is doing wonderful and our Toddler is adjusting to him.  Chase will cozy up on anything soft to go to sleep, so he has claimed a pillow, fleece blanket and of course the couch.  He goes for his 9 wk check on the 12th so I'm anxious to see how much he weighs. Sorry this update took so long, things have been pretty busy in our house since we picked him up.  I will keep the updates coming periodically. Here is a picture of the kids with Chase. Sincerely, Nicole (march 2010)

	Elaine, I purchased a beagle from you back in 2008. He was born to Miss Mattie and Rebel on 02/11/2008. His name is Milo and he is my baby!!!! He has brought so much joy into our family and I absolutely LOVE him. Thank you!! Here are a few pictures of him. Cassie Werner

	We got Fletcher from you three years ago (it will be four years in August).  We cannot thank you enough.  He is a JOY of a dog and gets compliments everywhere he goes.  Here are some pictures of him from our summer in Canada. He has grown up to be a beautiful dog.  Thanks again =)."   Lisa

	Hello Elaine:   We welcomed Charlie (son of Miss Betsy and the General) into our home last Easter, and we just celebrated his first birthday this week.  He is a beautiful dog who is playful and loveable!  Our family adores him, and he loves the attention he gets from the neighbors when we are out with him.  Thank you for all you did to bring this little guy into our lives!    Kristi Foster ************************** **************************

	Dear Elaine,   We wanted to update you on our adorable Snoop (Son of the Rebel and Miss Rosie).  He is now one year old and has made a wonderful addition to our family.  Snoop loves to go on play dates and run with his, much bigger, Lab friends. Snoop is such a joy and we all love him very much!!!  Thanks again for a wonderful adoption experience!!   Evelyn and Tom Richmond, VA

	Paisley Rogers - 10 months old Elaine,   Paisley is doing great, see attached photo. She is very smart! My son trained her to do tricks in minutes.   Paisley's parents are Miss Betsy and The General. She is a real treat - her grown human siblings are jealous of the attention she gets. :-)   Ron & Amy

	Hi, Elaine! I do hope this finds you well! We certainly are! Campbell has been the most wonderful blessing to our home! She is the most affectionate little dog I’ve ever known…I think she believes I gave birth to her! I have attached her 1 year old picture for you. She looks like her dad, Rebel…even has his posture! She is absolutely beautiful and a joy to live with. She has truly fit in with her 2 sisters and I thank you with all my heart! Camille Centreville, Virginia Campbell @ 1 Year Old         (Campbell is a wonderful daughter of our Lady Camille and Southland Rebel)

	Hi Elaine & Gary, I just wanted to let you know how much we love our Beagle. He was a son of Hannah and Luke, his name then was Herbie. Since we have had him we call him Rowdy! He is so much fun, he goes everywhere with us. He is the perfect addition to the family. He loves Florida, and his favorite thing to do is dig at the beach. :-) Thanks again, The Lindsey's

	Hi Elaine!   Just wanted to let you know that Daphne is doing great!!! The boys love her and we've gone 3 days in a row with no accidents in the house!!........... Here are a couple pix!! Thanks, Reichhold Family   Alpharetta, Georgia  Daphne is the daughter of Caulderwoods Little Miss Hannah and Caulderwoods Little Luke

	MURPHY & TESSIE MURPHY & TESSIE Hi Elaine,   Its been about four months now since we brought little Tessie home with us, and we just wanted to let you know what a great little beagle she is. She is about 6 months old now and is the daughter of The Rebel and Lady Camille. She is without a doubt the smartest dog I've ever owned, and definitely the cutest. She has really become a part of our family, I dont know how we got along without her now. She has this great mischievous sense of humor that you just cant get mad at. Her favorite thing to do is to go track and chase down squirrels and rabbits outside with her brother Murphy. They are inseparable. Where ever Murphy goes, Tessie is right behind him. Its funny to watch Murphy look around the house for Tessie when Eric takes her to the vet. He is so lost without her now. We are both really grateful that we found you...especially Murphy, because the only thing better than having a beagle is having TWO!   ps. I included a couple of pictures for you to add if you want TESSIE & MURPHY TESSIE & MURPHY BABY TESSIE

	Elaine, Our wonderful Eddie is celebrating a second birthday. It has been two years of unbelieveable joy with this faithful little friend.  Every day still brings a surprise at how smart he is and I am thankful for all the times he makes us laugh which is often.  Yes, he is quite spoiled but  oh, how obedient and kind. He is amazingly sensitive to what we expect of him and will  do ANYTHING to stay in our good graces.  And he is so much fun to photograph.   Needless to say, we think he is the best and cutest dog in all the world but I'm sure there are scores of other Caulderwood beagle owners who think the same thing.    Happy Birthday to Eddie and his siblings who were born on Sept. 28, 2005 to Li'l Miss Bridgett and General Patton!   Most of all THANK YOU forever for the quality of fine beagles you raise.   Sincerely, Gail and Jay Diederich  and Edgar Lamar (Eddie)   P.S. If owners of Eddie's siblings would like to correspond I would LOVE to hear from them and see pictures of Eddie's brothers and sisters.  Email:  g.diederich@verizon.net Florida

	Elaine- Just wanted to let you know that our little Harley has adjusted quite well to our newest addition to the family, baby Jude. We find her quite often curled up next to him or kissing his face. She is doing great and loving her new home here in Texas, where she has a big fenced in backyard to run around in! She is now 2 years old and still full of energy. She brings such entertainment and joy to the family! Hope this finds you doing well. Blessings, Hilary Helms Texas

	Hello Elaine,    This is Jack Kraus, I am one of General Patton & Miss Carmen's puppies.  I just wanted to write and tell you that I absolutley love my new home in Kansas!  They have a 3 year old little boy for me to play with, I really like to chase him and pull at his shorts. Mom says we are like 2 peas in a pod, sounds yummy! We go for a walk everynight, so I get to run around and stiff everything in sight. I even found my first turtle the other night, he was really big, when I barked he didn't like it much. I am learning how to play fetch and Mom & Dad tell me I'm going to puppy pre school soon.  I've got a few tricks to show those other puppies.  I must be really handsome because mom is always taking pictures of me, here are a few to share with you.  Mom & Dad also wanted to thank both of you for such a wonderful puppy, I guess they mean ME!! JACK   Kansas

	Hi Elaine, Hope all is well.  Harley (born to Bridget and General Patton 9/28/05) is doing very well.  We recently took a trip to Myrtle Beach and she and her adoptive brother Copper had a blast.  Attached are some photos. Regards, Sue New Jersey HARLEY.........&.........COPPER ~ HARLEY ~

	Hi Elaine, I just wanted to send you a recent picture of the two beagles we purchased from your kennels...   We got Charlie (on the right) for my dad's 60th brithday and my husband and I loved him so much, we came back a year later and got one for ourselves, Carter (on the left)!  Obviously, they are best buds and love to play - constantly! Thank you again for providing our families with such wonderful companions and company.   (the picture isn't great, I took it with my phone - but you can still see how cute they are)   Thanks again, Holli and Greg Brown

	ABBEY ROSE & FAMILY (Abbey is a wonderful daughter of our Miss Mattie and The Rebel)   Hi Elaine, "Here's a recent picture of the family (minus me, cause I was taking the picture) with Abbey Rose in McCall, Idaho.  She is doing really great and has fit right into our family.  She is very smart, loving and loyal to our family.  She has also made quite a few dog friends in the neighborhood  and has a play date a few days a week. We are so pleased that we chose Caulderwood Kennels to purchase our puppy and we would highly recommend you to anyone we know." Sincerely, Kim McCall, Idaho

	Callie (adorable baby girl of our Lady Camille and The General)   Hi Elaine- Just thought I'd drop you a note and let you know that little Callie is doing great.  She is such an angel and we love her!   She gets along with everyone she meets.   She's doing really well on her crate and house training, and she's gown a ton in a week and half.  She chews a lot though, which drives me nuts, but we try to keep her supplied with toys and chewies to keep her occupied.  I'll keep you posted on how she does over the next few months. Thanks! Patty

	Happy Winter!!! from Annie, Halley, Libby & Chelsea

	Elaine, Thought I should send you pictures of our wonderful Eddie, now almost 21 months.  He is perched on his favorite spot, the back of a recliner, lizard watching!    Eddie is an incredible member of our family and we continue to be totally amazed at his mellow, friendly disposition.  He is very smart and very responsive to us and, I might add, totally spoiled.  Will probably become more so as I have just retired after 32 years in education.  Will be home lots more with "my boy"  and eagerly looking forward to it.    We could NEVER have found a better little beagle! We are always thrilled when we see pictures of Harley and Bella, his sisters. A recent one in your puppy parent pictures is of Harley, born in the same litter with Eddie.  Amazing how much they look alike!   Thanks again for having the highest quality beagles. We are forever grateful.   All the best,   Gail and Jay and Edgar Lamar Diederich  (born Sept. 28, 2005 to Miss Bridgett and General Patton) LIZARD PATROL

	Elaine,    Snoop made it home alright and only whimpered for about 10 minutes after leaving your house.  No accidents in the car........ It's been about 6 days and he already understands to stand at the door to go outside for his needs.  He's only had a couple accidents in the house in the past couple days.    It seems he's grown a little since being here and his coat seems too have browned out a little in the shoulders and hips.  He's really handsome. Last night he slept all night.  The previous nights he'd simply begin to whimper in his carry case to be let out.  He'd do his thing and then right back to the carry case for the remainder of the night. Saturday was his first trip to PetSmart (aka Doggy Disneyland). He loved it and has done very well so far. We'll get you an update again soon.  The little fella just fell asleep on my lap and arm as I type.  He's played hard today. Later, Chuck, Silvia and Chuck Jr.    SNOOP Handsome Son Of Our LADY KATE & LITTLE ACE

	Bailey Ann (adorable baby girl of our Miss Lily and Little Ace)   Good Morning!   Thank you so much for such a wonderful addition to our home.  She is absolutely the best puppy ever!!!  I have to admit I was feeling a little anxious heading up to last Saturday and the first few days home - - concerned about my added responsibility - - but she is perfect.  We're crate training her and she is doing so well.  She's only had two accidents and both times it was b/c we weren't paying attention to her sniffing. . . she's so good.   We're socalizing her well - - she's been to two baseball games and has had many visitors.   Attached are a couple of new pictures.    I'll be in touch and thank you again for giving us such a prefect pup:)   Kim

	Eddie (all grown up and quite the handsome guy!) Elaine, It has been almost a year since we came to your place and picked up our wonderful and loveable Eddie.  He has proven to be everything you told us he would be and much, much more:  calm, even tempered, very smart, loyal, adorable, gorgeous, loving beyond measure and cuter that I can describe.   I thought you would enjoy seeing Eddie as he looks now at slightly over one year old.  You told us he would be handsome like his dad, General Patton, and you were right. He truly is beautiful.   One of Eddie's favorite spots is the back of a recliner!  He is not generally allowed on furniture, a rule he accepts and obeys readily but this chair top is a favorite and he will doze off and I will hold my breath that he will not fall but he never has.   He has created many interesting behaviors on his own, like drinking from the bathtub faucet - his favorite drink dispenser.    He also LOVES to be rocked to sleep, laying on his back in my arms, giving out deep contented sighs!  I could go on but you can see Eddie is a wonderful little fellow and we continue to be so thankful we found Caulderwood and were able to bring this little guy into our lives.    All the best to you and all the creatures at Caulderwood, especially the beagles!   Gail and Jay   and especially Edgar Lamar,  born Sept. 28,  2005 to General Patton and Li'l Miss Bridget   Odessa, Florida

	CONGRATULATIONS HARLEY HELMS! HARLEY & HER VERY PROUD MOM Harley is a pretty little daughter of our Miss Polly and Little Ace :)

	Harley Cole & Her Mom CONGRATULATIONS HARLEY COLE! HARLEY & HER VERY PROUD FAMILY Harley is a pretty little daughter of our Miss Bridget and General Patton :)

	Just to let you know that Eddie is TERRIFIC!!!  We are enjoying him so much and just love watching his development. He has a wonderful personality - very lively and rambunctious and so much fun to watch. He loves our yard with all the big sycamore leaves and loves running around and around in the backyard with Jay.  Jay brought him over to school one afternoon and the faculty fell in love with him.  So last week they surprised me with a  Puppy Shower for Eddie.  It was so neat! They did it up just like a baby shower with snacks, decorations, etc. They are a wonderful group of people.  I was surprised because I had never heard of a Puppy Shower! As you can see the little guy is doing wonderfully.  Amazingly he sleeps from 11 to 6 or 7 EVERY night. We have had NO nights of  "screaming and yelling."  I put him in his wire crate at night and he immediately lays down and goes to sleep.  He is very much  at home and never had to make any adjustments at all.   Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.   All the best, Gail, Jay and Eddie

	Joshua and I just wanted to let you know that little Harley is doing wonderful! She has adjusted quite well to her new home and has absolutely stolen our hearts! She is so playful and looks forward to her evening "walks" in the field behind our house. She runs along side of us with a grin from ear to ear. She sleeps in bed with us each night and loves to wake us up with kisses all over our noses! I'm proud to say she is already potty trained to go to the front door and wine when she needs to go out. She has had only two accidents inside, we've been impressed! She loves it here at Doe River and has met the whole staff- honestly, she's spoiled rotten! The staff kids look forward to playing with her each time we bring her out here. She is great with kids! She's great therapy for the older ladies that live near us as well, her kisses always bring a smile to their faces!  Thanks so much again for the little blessing you helped bring to our lives!  Blessings, Hilary & Joshua ***************************** Harley is now 10 weeks old this past Thursday. She has grown leaps and bounds! She had her first vet check- up last week and did great. She weighed in at 5.8 lbs- so she's still a little thing. They said she is healthy as can be! Everyone wanted to take her home. Here are the most recent pictures of Harley. Too cute for her own good.  Blessings, Hilary Harley.....10 Weeks Old

	Hello, Elaine! A quick note to say hi and to let you know how Libby and Chelsea are doing.  As you can imagine, they are A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!  We are having so much fun.  Attached are a few cute photos to update you on their development.      As their breeder, you would be very proud of Libby and Chelsea -- WE ARE!!! Warmest regards, Betsy
