Re: One Litter Questions

[Jason Simkins <jaspat2@earthlink.net>]

Hi Kevin and Katherina and all,

Daisy also loves carrots, and we cannot get cheese out of the fridge without
her sitting pretty waiting for her slice! Apples too, she loves them and
grapes, fun to catch!! Jason gave her a piece of lettuce and she just tore it
apart and played with it. I too just do some apple slices or a carrot mid-day
instead of a doggie biscuit.
Daisy was a little over 26 pounds at her 4 month check up. Next appt is the
little girl surgery.
 Would love to see pics of Sam if you can.

Sounds like these One litter puppies are remaining very similar,. Would love
to get them all together someday.

Are we still doing the beach trip this summer Gina?

p.s. Hope you're feeling better Gina!!

Beautiful sunny day here in Vancouver, WA.....gotta go play.

Patty
