(7/1/10) Hi Judy! Sorry it's been awhile since we have been in touch but we have been pretty busy with the move and rebuilding of our house in TN.  I have attached a couple of pics of Stella for you the ones at the beach were taken the weekend after we got her and the other two were taken  two nights ago.  I have more on my phone but haven't transferred them to the computer yet.  Once I do I will send you some so you can really see how much she has grown.  Stella is now 21lbs and in to everything...She enjoys mostly paper products! We have taught her how to sit, lay down, roll over, stay and are working on shaking hands...Pretty impressive for a 4 month old I think!  She is such a joy for Todd and I to have around.  In fact, we are thinking of adopting another one from Gleneden around the same time next year...A female of course and one of your choosing since you did such an amazing job picking Stella Belle out for us. Hope all is well and we will continue to send pics. Sincerely, Heather Buchanan   Nashville, TN (6/15/10) Judy, Just wanted to let you know how much we love this beautiful little balck ball of fur! He has settled in nicely. Actually, he acts like he's lived here forever. Shaggy, my adult doodle, loves him. They play non-stop! Django thinks he's full grown. Max, the cat, couldn't be bothered.  He's done well with potty training....now, to get him to stop chewing on anything he can sink his little teeth into.... Ken and I are absolutely thrilled!!! We hope to see you soon.  Desi Farren   Hamilton, VA (5/1/10) Hi Judy, I just wanted to give you an update on Ozzy, who is now 5 months old.  We could not be happy or more in love.  He is a wonderful puppy with a great personality.  He's so smart, playful, social (great with other dogs and people) and very cute.  Whenever we take him anywhere we're always stopped and told how adorable he is and then asked where we got him.  I'm always so happy to tell people that we got Ozzy at this wonderful place called Gleneden.  Thank you so much for matching us up with our incredible puppy, Ozzy.  I've attached a picture so you can see for yourself how handsome he is.  Thanks again.     Marcie Miades  Audubon, PA (8/5/10) Hi Judy...Maggie is wonderful (flown up from Gleneden last August).  She is adorable, friendly and very smart. She came in on the small side around 40 lbs., but that works out well for me.  She and Seamus (now 3 1/2) get along very well. I'll try to send a photo soon. Take care, Bernadette Dawson  Sharon, MA   (8/9/10)   Hi Judy, I wish we could go! (Doodle Romp). We are still enjoying the California lifestyle, so it would be tough to get back, but wanted to send you some pictures of Caleigh…she is such an amazing girl - I love her to death.  Thanks for everything!!  Best, Lauren Sands   Santa Clara, California	(8/17/10)   Hi Judy, I brought Bradley home in October of 2002, he just celebrated his 8th birthday. We took him to a doggy bakery for his special day. The pic attached is him begging for his birthday treat. He is the Best Dog I could have asked for, constant loving companion, and he still thinks he's a puppy. Thank you for breeding such wonderful loving dogs.- Rene Ali   Conway NH   7/27/10) Hi -- Just wanted to send you guys a note to thank you for our terrific puppy, Mars.  We picked her up on May 22, and she was from a litter born to Daisy (labradoodle) and Simba (toy poodle) on March 25. She is just adorable - full of spunk, sweet, smart, and very easy to train.  She's the shining star in puppy kindergarten, along with a Cavachon (also from Gleneden).  Anyway, I've attached a pic of Mars with her big sister Zoe, who we got from Gleneden 5 years ago.  After a couple of slightly rocky weeks at the beginning, they are now the best of friends, and play together all the time.  Thanks again!  You guys really turn out great dogs!  Gemma Flamberg  Takoma Park, MD   (8/29/10) Hi Judy, I've been meaning to write to you for months. We picked up our chocolate girl at Glen Eden last November, and you may remember that 6-year-old Basil was extremely unhappy when we put her into the car. You assured us that he was just upset that she was in his space and that they'd soon be the best of friends. You were so right! It took just about 10 days for him to come around, and since then they have been inseparable. Doodles are just peace-lovers. I can't imagine any one of them staying mad. Here is a photo of them, taken several months ago, but it shows the relationship they have. Scout is still a bit of a bully, grabbing his collar and trying to drag him around (only outside), but he doesn't always let her get away with it, and I don't either. Scout is almost 1 year old now, and she's just so smart, adorable, affectionate, and playful. We feel so incredibly lucky to have two perfectly wonderful Doodles! They enrich our lives immeasurably... Lisa Benshoff and Antonio Parra   Easton, Maryland   (7/1/10)) Dear Judy, For my 11th birthday, I got a blonde labradoodle for my birthday. We named him Charlie and he is a great dog. His birthday was on the 8th of June so he is a year old now.I just wanted to say hello and let you know how he is doing fantastic! He loves to run, play fetch in the dog park, and much more. We love and enjoy his company very much.Attached to this email is a recent picture of him.  Thank you for the wonderful dog!             Sincerely, Nicole Sheehan
(6/7/10) I had Dash with me today and some people stopped to ask the usual question, what kind of dog it that? 20 minutes later they left with your contact information. Dash had bounced around us the whole time responding when called, avoiding the pond that lured him (he loves water, especially sprinklers!). I went to your web page and found quite a surprise on the  Doodle family page.  There is a picture of a 9-year-old dog, Beignet, who must be our Bazil's brother. The note says Beignet just turned 9 in late April; Bazil would have been 9 on April 27 and this picture could be Bazil--amazing similarities.  What a heart tugging experience to look at Beignet and see what Bazil would have looked like had cancer not taken him at 7. Beignet's owners are very lucky people. I scrolled on down the page, and there is a picture of Daisy, adopted in late September of 2008. We adopted Dash in early October of 2008 and Daisy is a spitting image of Dash. So on the same page could well be the siblings of both of our Gleneden dogs.  Amazing coincidences!  Kathryn Breighner   Harbor Springs, Michigan   (7/5/10) Hi, We purchased our medium labradoodle Sam almost three years ago from Gleneden. He is the most wonderful dog in the world; everybody he meets just adores him and asks where we got him. We were wondering if you are doing doodle romp this summer, we have never gone and were interested in visiting this year. We attached some pictures of Sam !   Courtney Bloomer   Westfield, NJ (8/2/10) Hey Judy:  Hope you remember us, Steve and Donna from Alexandria, who got a beautiful Goldendoodle from you last summer, named him Dodger.  He is the best dog I have every know, he thinks he is a fish and not a dog, cannot keep him out of the hose, water, pool, puddles, he just loves it...wondering about the Doodle Romp this year and if you would be having it again.  We really enjoyed it last year and would like to bring Dodger for you see what a handsome young dog he has grown into.   Please let me know .  Thanks again, Donna and Steve Neal   Alexandria, Virginia.         gleneden@earthlink.net
