Pepper update...



Did I send you these ones before? Miss Pepper decided that she liked chewing on Susan's glasses that were on the nightstand, not one pair but two!!! We found a flavor she doesn't like now!!
I will send you some more pics once we get home, they are on my home computer.

Pepper has become a member of the family in a big way. Right now she is watching me from the couch waiting for me to come over and sit down and watch TV with her.

She not only enjoys her twice daily walks, she demands them by running to the door everytime I walk by if it is close to walkie time. She particularly likes chasing bunnies to the extent of her leash, but once she sees one she thinks there is one behind every bush.

My mother in law, who doesn't like dogs, or any other animal for that matter, has volunteered to look after Pepper if we ever need her to..

You don't have to worry about her, she is getting more loving and attention than she can handle, and she is loving it.

Words can't describe this...




hi chris!

milo is wonderful.
he's already a big part of our family.
nemo and milo are best of friends and continue to wrestle incessantly.
the boys new best friend refuses to be left out of bubble baths.
he also insists on showering with sean and I.
the boys haul him around everywhere and he tolerates it all, in fact, he seems to like it.
he loves to fetch his rubber chicken and figure he learned this game from nemo.
he's close to being house trained and is almost done his first obedience class.
he can sit and stay but doesn't like to come yet and isn't too keen on lying down on command.
he's a very sweet soul and we love him to bits even know he gives us a run for our money!
hope all is well,

jody

Better late than never... Click on the utube Video link below!






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.
