Dear Uncle Chris – It’s been too long since I wrote to you but my life has just been a whirlwind of activities and travel. I know it’s a lame excuse but it is a valid one. Mom just can’t seem to sit down long enough to get my pictures in order. As you’ll see, I wasn’t standing still long enough for the camera to catch up to me. I think I’ve been renamed ‘Blur’ among other terms of endearment. Hopefully you’ll accept this very belated Merry Christmas. I just know that you’re having a wonderful New Year.



We traveled to my Gramps and Grandma’s house in Southern California for Christmas. Just about everyone was there including my 6-month old darling niece Eden. She came all the way from Tennessee just to see the clan that gathered over the holidays. WOW!! I had fun opening my very first Christmas stocking and was just a busy little girl playing with all of the goodies that just kept coming and coming.



There was so much movement, that we’ve also put together a little movie (on YouTube) that you might enjoy. It’s open to the world; so feel free to share the link if you like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l1PpIpm9pQ



Happy New Year! Sending lots of hugs your way,

Cassie





PS: Daddy talks about you almost every day. He just can’t thank you enough for allowing me to become part of their family. Gee… I must be doing something right. ;-)

Zoe wins BIG her first time out in AKC conformation!

Please excuse our picture but trust me it was
the best we could do. It seems Zoe is not much
into having her picture taken but that did not
stop her from winning big at our first show
together in Albany Oregon.

Zoe was reserve winner her first day out of 10
Norwich girls which I was very happy about
because it was our first time in the ring together.
Sunday was her day though... She was Best of
Winners and Best Opposite Sex for her first points,
a 3 point major which is huge for a 7 month old
puppy. We had a great time and look forward to more!!!

Look out world, here we come!

Henri is doing wonderfully! Future show dog??

Happy New Year Friends and Family,

A few photos of our little miracle to start the new year. Henri is almost off of all his drugs and his last bloodwork came back with the best results yet, his red blood cell count is now well within the normal range. Hooray!

I want to take a minute to tell you some fun things about Henri. Henri loves balls, fetching, sqweekey chickens, and playing tug. He loves to go for walks and will dance excitedly at the mention of the word. He enjoys watching TV. He has, also, learned to climb up on our computer desk, where he likes watching the screensaver, which cycles through pictures of him and Bella. He thinks his sister's crate is the safest place in the world. He loves to give kisses but you might need a towel when he is done. He sleeps on his back most of the time. If he is bored, he might dig a hole (thanks to expert mentoring by Lilli Rose), so you can't leave him unattended too long. And while he outgrew somethings, he never did nursing on his big, white bunny.

I hope each of you can meet our little miracle some day. He is simply a joy. We want to thank all of Henri's supporters this past year. A few special notes of graditude must go to Michele, Jeannette Melchior, and Sandy Davis. Michele graciously offered to medically sponsor Henri from May 2009-May 2010. Jeannette and her Westie furkids have provided a loving, fun place for Henri to visit. Sandy Davis has not only taught us about the Westie World but has journeyed with us through Henri's bad hair days, when there was hair, then almost no hair, and hair again. And as you will see from the attached photos, Henri has grown up with the help of each of his special angels to be a handsome young boy.

Happy New Year! May we all be blessed with health!

Best Wishes,
The Neumann Family

Welcome to White Diamond Terriers Zoe (Star)

Please welcome Zoe our new 6 month old Norwich Terrier.. Zoe who was formerly known as Star because she was born on the 4th of July and her full registered name is Unique's Star Spangle Banner from Karen Whalen on Unique kennels in Phoenix Arizona will be one of our up and coming show dogs in AKC conformation events along with my Westie girl Sara who is registered as White Diamonds Sweet Sara. Though Sara is only 5 months old now she stands a little taller than Zoe but it does not hold them back from learning to play together. I will have some interesting video of these two in the near future.. so much fun to watch them play together!

PS.. the other Norwich on the couch with me is my 13 year old Peanut.

Hey Chris,

Winston's Christmas...

Hi Chris:


Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! We hope you and the gang are well. Winston and Augie are doing great and continue to be the best of friends. I thought you'd enjoy some of the photos from Winston enjoying his presents on Christmas morning. He continues to LOVE toys like no dog I have ever met. It is a constant playfest around here. We've moved to a bigger house (and bigger yard) recently which the boys love and they are on constant squirrel and bird patrol outside. Itching has almost completely been resolved with the help of homeopathic medicine and supplement support, combined with no more vaccines and a simple raw diet. Winston eats mostly ground raw rabbit and bones or ground turkey and bones, with some additional vitamins and minerals for balance. He remains a bit on the small side (about 15-16lbs) but is fit as a fiddle and we're happy his skin no longer bothers him. Give our best to Peanut and the kids.


Cheers,
Amy
