Heart to Heart - 3





"Bookbinder"
(Ch. Daisymead's King's Ransom ex Daisymead's Alice Blue Gown)



"Barbara , today we celebrated "Bookbinder's" first birthday! All is good."  (Owner:  John)




"Milo"
(Daisymead's Lion King ex Ch. Topper Daisymead First Blush)



"I wanted to share "Milo's" first birthday picture with you, as you can see he has turned into a very handsome boy. Here he is pictured with my son, Juan, his best friend.  "Milo" enjoys many south Florida activities, especially boating and dipping his hot paws in our pool. His favorite past time however, is cuddling with us on the couch.   "Milo" continues to be a wonderful addition to our family and I thank you for sending him to us."  (Owners:  Ana, Percy and family)
 



"Forrest"
(Daisymead's Lion King ex Daisymead's Minnie Mouse)


 

"I wanted to send you a picture and let you know how well "Forrest" is doing.  I gave "Forrest" to my husband, Mark, for his 50th birthday as a surprise.  He just adores him and turning 50 doesn't seem like such a bad thing anymore.  Our favorite thing to do is to visit the local forest preserves and hike.  "Forrest" just loves it.  In fact, he loves everything!  It seems like his main purpose in life is to make us happy.  His little tail is always wagging and he will do anything just to please us.  He has been just a real joy and we feel fortunate to get such a good little puppy.  Thanks for all you did, (keeping him until the surprise party), etc.  We were also wondering if you know of any other English Cocker Spaniels in the Oswego area?  Do you know if "Forrest" has any brothers or sisters in the area?  We have yet to see one other English Cocker Spaniel anywhere we go.  Thanks again!"  (Owner: Cindy and Mark)
 




"Lucy"
(Daisymead's Lion King ex Ch. Topper Daisymead First Blush)

      

"Here are a few pictures of "Lucy".  She’s really doing well, seems very happy, and she and "Roscoe" are getting along better each day.   "Roscoe" wasn’t so pleased at first but, now wags his tail when she comes in the room to pounce on him.  He’s being very patient with her.  She got a clean bill of health from our vet this past Tuesday."  (Owners:  Greg, Bette, Sam and Meg)



"Simone"
(Sire:  Ch. Daisymead's Playboy, ECM)

 

"Hello Barbara, we are so happy to be in Austin, TX.   The warm weather allows us to expend more time outdoors with "Simone" and it is no doubt that he enjoys it too.   He will be 4 years old on Oct 13, 2006, and he cannot wait to eat that special vanilla ice cream treat."   (Owner - Liz)



 

"Lawry"
Captain of the Ship
(Daisymead's Lion King ex Ch. Topper Daisymead First Blush)

  

"Hi Barbara!  Things with "Lawry" couldn't be better.  He has been such a great dog.
Small world... one of our neighbors has an EC, named "James".  Apparently he was a rescue from California, so "Lawry"  lives near a distant relative.  They have become great pals!  Thanks again for such a wonderful companion and friend! We love him to pieces!"  (Owners - Katie & Jim)
 


"Reese"


It is going to be a year this April 2005, that "Reese" became a part of our family and we cannot imagine our life without our little guy!  Reese is a really mellow and even-tempered companion, but get him around some of his neighborhood buddies and you'll see a totally different energetic pup!   In the past year, "Reese" has become such an important part of our family - his "grandparents" are always excited to spend time and play with him.  With the help of his Rottweiler buddy, "Payton", and his "Uncle Seth",  "Reese" learned how to swim last summer in WI.  He traveled to Colorado, with us in the summer and climbed his first 14'er with us - he was much more of a champion than both of his parents combined!

He has become quite well known in our neighborhood (Lakeview in Chicago), not only as the "cutest dog ever", but also because of his playfulness with other dogs and all the little kids in the neighborhood.  Matt and I feel so fortunate and lucky to have our little guy who, as far as we are concerned, is the best dog ever!  "Reese" is traveling with us to Colorado, again this weekend for a family trip with his grandparents and uncles for lots of sniffing and running in the woods! He is such a well tempered little guy who goes along with anything with do, as long as he is included.  He can be very persistent to get attention - I just can't ignore those big eyes looking right at me until I at least throw his ball or get on the floor with him. I think he's figured out that nobody in the family can resist him.  Thank you so much for "Reese" - just writing about him, I can hardly wait to get home and take him for a walk in this beautiful weather!  All the best."  (Owners - Vanda and Matt)




"Milo"
(Sired by BIS/BISS CH Daisymead's Playboy, ECM)



"Milo is about to go for his first obedience qualification,  the Canine Good Citizen.   Needless to say, Milo is doing well.   Training agrees with him.  He's still bouncy and puppy like, but calming down toward adulthood.   He's ever so good at the training classes.   I will be carrying on into the obedience classes, too."   (Owner - Caroline)



"Paneer"



"Thanks so much for calling to check on the baby.  He is just a treasure!  He has blended in to his new home very well, and is a joy to us all!  Hope you enjoy the pictures."   (Owner:  Sharon)

 
Daisymead's K.C. Royals Rookie

"K.C."

y side and helped me through some very trying times

"K.C." was given his name by my son who was an avid baseball fan.  In his early years, we did some obedience and agility, though we never went for any titles.  He was always by my side and helped me through some very trying times with his love and devotion.  He loved to "croon" and his favorite song was "On Top of Old Smokey".  He only had to hear the first two notes and he would start belting out at the top of his lungs.  He only stopped when you told him how good he was.  Funny, no other song made him do that. "  (Owner:  Emily)



"Kinsey and Tory"

(Clock-wise Libby, Kinsey and Tory
We drove to Phoenix for Christmas 2006, to visit Jeff's family, and brought "Tory" and "Kinsey" with us.  Jeff's mom has an English Cocker named "Libby" and her lineage goes back to someone I believe know, Lesley Andrews.   She's an orange roan and I believe she is 9 yrs. old.  The girls are great, and are soon going to welcome a new addition to our family.  I am due March 12th, with a baby boy!  It will be interesting to see how the girls react.  They've already gotten to sniff out all the baby stuff and "Kinsey" thought the changing pad was nice and comfy.  She curled up in it to take a nap!!  Hope all is well with you!  (Owners:  Melissa and Jeff)



"Oliver Barrington Pollnow"

 

"I wanted to send you an update on our pride and joy….Oliver Barrington Pollnow, or “Ollie” as we call him.  We named him for the two places he has lived, our home in Olivette and his first home in Barrington.  He is a little over 15 months now, but it was about this time last year that we first contacted you about adding to our family for Christmas.  Ollie is the most adorable, snuggly, soft and well-mannered puppy.  From day one, he has been very inquisitive but, always a good listener.  His endless energy and excitement keep us smiling everyday…especially when he still does flips as he realizes it's time to eat again!  He has the most perfect “sit” and since he was a baby, has often simply watched us move around the kitchen or den, as if he is constantly learning.  He is such a loveable dog.  Always wanting to sit in our laps, play tug or be right next to us.  He loves playing with other dogs and is very sociable, constantly running and jumping and tumbling around our yard with our neighbor’s dog.   We frequently get compliments on how beautiful and well behaved he is.  Thank you for sending him our way….we are hoping to add a little red girl to our family soon, and would love to hear about the puppies you have and will have available.  Happy Holidays!"  (Owners:  Kara and David Pollnow)
