"As Long As Forever"

 

 

 As long as forever I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, your friend and your guide.

 

 

As long as I live, and as long as you care, I'll do everything for you; I'll go anywhere.

 

 

I'll bring you the sunshine, I'll comfort your fears, I'll gather up rainbows to chase all your tears.

 

 

As long as forever my heart will be true.  For as long as I live, I will always love you.

         Baxter at 8 weeks old 

                          Baxter today

 Baxter - Owned by Jeff & Connie     Nault, Rapid City, MI

Baxter the Boater” joined our family in September 2007 and quickly became “our baby”.  He immediately became my “office dog” and goes with me to work and job sites everyday.  We are big boaters and wanted to initiate him right away so last fall we had a couple of outings on the boat and he did great.  This spring was the real test and Baxter has lived up to his name.  He loves the boat and the water.  With his sweet disposition and his interest and excitement in everything new, Baxter has captured our hearts and we are so happy to have him as a part of our family!

Gator - Owned by Dan & Kim Nicholson, Chicago, IL


Here are some pictures of our great baby Gator.  Bringing him into our family has been one of the best decisions we have made; thank you so much for choosing us as his family!  He is an outstanding dog and all of our neighbors are jealous.  One of the nice things about living in the city is that he has been extremely well socialized with both people and dogs....he's been nicknamed the neighborhood's "happiest puppy" because he's always smiling.  He has a great disposition and is great with kids, in case your future parents want to know.  He's also a superstar at his new puppy daycare, and surely will be the dog of the month soon.  We love him to death.  In case your clients want to know, he was potty-trained in 1 week.  Woohoo Gator!!!

   Hunter - Owned by KiRistia Allen of Sandoval, IL Hunter today

 Attached are a couple pictures of Hunter. He is getting sooo big! He has curly curly hair on his chest and bottom of his neck and on the back of his hind legs. In the first picture, he is digging a hole on our yard...a no no but he was too cute to scold (almost looks like he's trying to hide it with his legs) so I just took a picture instead.

Sarge - Owned by the Gene Darrough family of Flora, IL


Attached are the newest pics we have of our Golden...Sarge! He has been a wonderful addition to the family. Not only do our children love playing with him, he loves getting the exercise with 5 kids. His favorite past time is playing fetch, tug-of-war with our little Yorkie, eating carrots, and belly rubs in front of the fireplace with his family. 
We will continue sending new pics as they develop! Thanks again for our little blessing.

 Luke - Owned by the Brent Walters family of Ashmore, IL 

Luke today 

Luke is growing so fast.  We have so much fun with him, and Luke and Jacob love to chase each other around the yard.  We've already taught Luke to sit, lay down, No, and potty on command.  He is such a smart and fun puppy.

 Tucker - Owned by the Barry McIntosh family of Creal Springs, IL Paula, Richard & KotaKota today  Dakota Remington (Kota) - Owned by Paula & Richard Honeycutt of Minot, ND...getting ready to fly to his new home with Paula. 
What a little trooper. That is why I love this breed. They are so adaptable to anything. He whined a few times from St. Louis to Minneapolis, but overall he did just great. Everyone that saw him fell in love with him. I didn't know it, but found out from another couple that had a dog too, that I had to keep him in the kennel in the terminal; so I would let his little head poke through the top and everyone would comment on what a beauiful puppy he was. I enclosed a couple pictures of Kota (thats what were calling him now). As you can see by the one picture, our grandaughter has fallen in love with him too. Thanks again for everything and we will keep you posted as he grows.

Trooper - Owned by Jim & Barb Hicks of Collinsville, IL

Jim weighed him yesterday and he's at 11.8 pounds so he seems to be growing nicely.... Getting LOTS of exercise outside and going everywhere with Jim..... on his trips to the store, in our John Deere Gator to feed the horses (I fashioned a wire "door" on the passenger side of the Gator so he can not get out without Jim's assistance.) He plays REALLY hard and then comes inside and crashes hard. No matter hard he is playing, as soon as you pick him up, he snuggles right in!

Max - Owned by Katie Staice of Roodhouse, IL

Hello! Thought I would share some pictures with you guys! Max is growing so fast but he has been such a joy to my family and I. Im sure I will have more pictures as the summer goes on because we love playing outside, especially in the water! Thanks so much for giving us such a perfect little companion!

Buddy - Owned by Keith, Mary & Breana Clark of Pana, ILRuby - Owned by Anna & Dave Torpe of Mundelein, IL

Ruby was such a trooper on the way home, slept nearly all of the 5 hours home! We took her to meet her "cousin" Molly who is a 3 year old Golden and they just had the best time playing. Her first night was a breeze, went to bed at 9 and slept until 6 without a sound :) She has been so much fun and we just love her already.

London - Owned by Rich & Beth Cummo, Chicago, IL

Things are great with London.  He's such a sweetie!  We love him.  We were walking in the park across the street from us and met Gator!  They had so much fun playing with each other.  We all thought it was pretty funny that they live so close to each other. We are planning on letting them play together often.  Thanks again for taking such good care of London, we're thrilled with him.

Baxter (#2) - Owned by Nellie Spitzner,  Flora, IL

Here are some new pics of me and my baby.  He is  just a sweetheart and I love him dearly.  We call him the lovehound as he just wants to be loved on all the time.  Every morning I go in and hug him and kiss him all over his face and head and, when I stop he pats me with his paw and sticks his head down again so I will do it some more.  What a way to start the day!  My boyfriend loves him as much as I do so he will always have a great life.  Thanks so much for my sweet baby.

Baxter (#2) and Joselyn

This one is so sweet I just had to share it with you.  It is my grandaughter, Joselyn using Baxter as a pillow while he sleeps on the living room floor.

Gracie - Owned by The David Brody family of Chesterfield, MO

Charlie - Owned by Vanessa Walker of Effingham, IL

Abby - Owned by the Chris Russell family of West Frankfort, IL

 

Autumn- Owned by the Brian Turner family of Springfield, IL

Brittany and Brandon Turner's surprise!

I've attached some pictures of Autumn's first 24 hours at her new home.  The kids were in disbelief!  She loves the kids so much and is so good around them!  Brandon loves playing with her and isn't scared of her getting a little "rough" and Brittany loves taking her on walks on the leash while Brian and I love cuddling with her!  So she's got a good balance here.  She loved playing outside yesterday and today!  She pretty well plays hard and then falls fast asleep.  She already has her favorite resting spot in front of the fireplace in our living room.  She always cuddles up with a big stuffed Christmas dog (about the size of her) we got at PetsMart yesterday!  Brandon (the one opposed to the name Autumn) actually suggested we call her that.  So Little Miss Autumn Illini it is!  She has her puppy well check-up tomorrow to get her established at our new vet and to get her shot schedule arranged.  She's perfect!!  Thank you so much!!!

Koty - Owned by the Ted & Dale  Basowski family of Frankfort, IL

Lucy - Owned by Jennifer Simpson and sons Grant & Evan of Marion, IL

Lucy is doing great. She has a fascination with electrical cords and leaves. She just found out a few minutes ago I have a shedding hibiscus tree indoors, so she can collect leaves out- AND inside.  By the way, you can see from the 2nd and 3rd photos where she slept last night!

Desmond - Owned by Andrew & Jennifer VanderMolen, of  DeMotte, IN Desmond and Juliet
Chloe - Owned by Steven Boswell & Mindy McCollum

Attached are a few pictures of our pup. She has been absolutely amazing so far. She was already running to the door to be let out by the second night. I couldn't believe she picked up on that so fast. There have been a couple accidents here and there but other than that she has been basically perfect. She sleeps through the night for the most part as well. Hopefully we'll be able to bring her by this summer.

Thanks again,

Steve Boswell, Mindy McCollum, and Chloe
