Emails and Letters from Adopters

Thank you for checking in . Jumper has adapted very well to our home . He is just the sweetest puppy ! He loves being babied by everyone on the household . We are very thankful of all the schedule information that his caretaker sent us . It really helped a lot in getting him used of a routine specially for us that we are first time dog owners .
Thanks so much for the picture ! Cardigan is adjusting well , I think we have decided to name her Moon . That may change , the kids aren ’ t sure . She loves her cheeks scratched and is quite vocal meowing at me until I follow her wherever she wants to be . I only have taken a couple of pictures as of now . I will send more as I take them . She has found a spot inside of an empty bookshelf that she ’ s claimed as her own .
Checking in to show y ’ all Jude Paw ! He ’ s adjusting well and loves to be the center of attention . Meowsie , his sister , doesn ’ t mind since she doesn ’ t always want pets and cuddles but he happily does . They are yin and yang in that department . JP is just a big cuddly baby and we love him . Meowsie and him still fight here and there but we always monitor them and separate them if it turns from play to straight up fighting . Also , I made them an Instagram if you want to see them on there ! It ’ s @ meowsie . and . jp
