Thank you Jocelyn and family for these wonderful pictures of Max!

Hi Kim and Mollie-

This note to you is very overdue.  Max just turned one at the beginning of February and he has become such a big part of our family.  His disposition is very friendly, loving and kind.  He absolutely loves being around our two children – Emma and Henry.  His favorite thing to do is go on car rides with our family.  He gets so excited when you ask him if he wants to go for a ride in the car which of course we all love.

Thank you so much for sending Max to us.  We will keep you updated with pictures.

From,

Jocelyn and Family

Dog-Friendly Vineyards

Even dogs need a break from the monotony of the workweek. Instead of leaving your dog at home when you hit the wineries, why not bring her along?

Thank you Christy for these wonderful photos and email!

Hi Kim,

Enclosed are 3 pictures of Kip!  First let me just say how much we each love him.  In my opinion he is simply the best dog ever.  What I adore the most is how he loves each member of our family uniquely!  From my husband to our 20 & 19 year old daughters, to our 12 year old active son, and last our baby girl (she is 10).  My family tells me he is glued to my hip and I like that!! Bedtime & prayers has always been special in our home and Kip tucks in the kids so sweetly!  He also does a great job helping me wake them in the mornings! Last night we wanted to see Cosmo (his dad), and we all marveled at how much we think he resembles his dad! Yet he also reminds me so much of his mom (Cheyenne) from the pictures on your website.  We wanted a “Cosmo” look-a-like and we got just that, we think.  The description on your website on Cosmo’s personality describes Kip to a tee; he has yet to go “potty” by himself, unless we are also outside cheering him on!! He loves to be with us constantly. The most joyful addition to the Chance family … he was worth the 6 month wait.  Thanks you for our “bucket of love” as one of my girlfriends nick named him, we cherish him!!  We have become the “dog people” we never thought we would become!!!

Warmly,
Christy
