Working it!

[Tink]

Thanks Diana

I've gotten 2 responses back so far. Both very positive and complimentary. It's so nice to hear about my babies doing so well and being so loved. Both were females and are already spayed, house trained, and likely quite spoiled by the reports I got. LOL

The one sleeps in her new Moms bed with her and her dh, is a hit with their 7 grandchildren, and is said to be totally devoted to an older lab her husband has.

The other is Lillies new family. She's said to have attended a large party last weekend and managed to sleep right in the center of the room during it. They said whatever I've been doing to socialize the pups... to keep doing it 'cause she's a hit wherever they take her.

Both said they've got the pups in classes and have referred many people to my website already and will continue to do so.

I hope the others are just as satisfied!

Wow, that's great!!! Word of mouth means alot!!!! I'm so glad to hear that Lily is doing so well. She was a sweetheart!!! You did a great job with your pups!!!

[Janet]

I think it's so wonderful Tink that you're doing so well. Isn't it the greatest when they say how wonderful their puppy is and send pictures? WOW...what a feeling!

[Marilyn]

So glad this is working out so well for you!! Like Diana said, it sounds like you are definitely going about it the right way. Very professional!!! I am so tempted. We have two yorkies right now. Maybe if we move to central Texas to be closer to our girls someday, I might have to check into one of your pups then.

You mentioned your dogs against the shower door. I just had to post a pic of my little Zoe. She jumps and scratches my leg so much wanting attention while I am getting ready in the mornings, I just put a hand towel by the sink and let her sit/lay there and watch me.

Oh Marilyn she is so cute. Can you post more pictures of them? Zoe sure doesn't look very big...but she sure is pretty.

Tink - you are just extraordinary! I love the way you are putting 110% into this. It will come back to you too.

[judy]

Marilyn,

Can you please make it so that we can see her better. I bet she's beautiful!

[DianaB]

Marilyn, Zoe is so cute!!! She does look really small. She's just patiently waiting for you to give her some attention!

[Marilyn]

Zoe's my sweetie. She's curled up on a pillow on a chair next to me right now. She has such a celebration when I come home in the evenings. She lets me know when it's bedtime. What a mess. She weighs a little over 3 lbs, and our vet says she is extremely healthy. Most of his tiny yorkie patients have some issues, but so far not Zoe. She's 2-1/2 years old.

I'll have to take more pics of her to share. Most of the ones I have are when she was younger and her color has changed a lot since then. This pic was taken with my IPhone. It has a 2 megapixel camera, so it's not bad, but that is about as clear as it gets. My problem is when I take pictures with my Kodak, they are very clear, but way to large to post on here. If I resize them so they can post, they are way too small.

Maybe I can use Photobucket or something.

[Tink]

Photobucket work great Marilyn. I love it!
My Kodak software has an option when you're saving the photo to your files where you can save it at different sizes. I always choose "best for web sites and email" so my photos are smaller for use on here. Does your software have something like that? I save it to my desktop in a folder just for sharing online.

Your Zoe is SO tiny! I can't imagine having a dog that small. LOL Mine are 1.5 lbs when born!

I got another response from my buyers tonight. They are very happy with their pup, said he's in the 40 lbs range now and is very much a member of the family.

I never noticed that feature. I'll have to check it out. My camera is 3 years old. It was a really nice one back then. I love my camera, amazing pictures and so easy to use. The battery lasts forever, which is probably it's best feature.

I got a response and update on one of my boy pups tonight.

?Kramer? is hands down the BEST PUP EVER!!! We absolutely just love him along with everyone else who meets him.

She goes on to elaborate, and I have to tell ya... I just get a huge smile on my face reading how loved these pups are.

I've posted the updates on my website blog and will let it be encouragement for me on those days when things aren't going so smoothly. lol

[Marilyn]

These must be amazing dogs!!! Tink you are doing such a good job!!! This has to be very rewarding!!

[Tink]

I decided that It's important to keep my traffic flowing on my website even though I'm out of pups at the moment. So I've placed ads saying I'm compiling a list of people who would like to be notified when my next litter is due and born. i haven't seen anyone else do that, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be done! LOL

So far I have 7 people on the list! I'm sure some will find a pup before mine are born, and some will change their mind before they get one... but it is encouraging to know I do have some potential buyers before the litter is even conceived. I've been getting about a person per day added over the past week, so if this continues I should be able to sell the next litter quicker than the last one.

Canada IS currently in season and Moses is SO thrilled... He's choosing to live outside with the others in the run right now to protect his interests. LOL So I'm hoping to have a new litter in Mid April!

[DianaB]

Wow, Tink!! That's so exciting!!! A new litter in the making and prospective buyers already lined up!!!! Good job!!!!
