Hi Sandi,

if anyone comes to you asking about their dog and excessive gas I have found a food that works for us. Ours girls were absolutely terrible! I have been feeding a grain-free dog food. It is called Taste of the Wild and it comes in 3 different flavor varieties. I really works with the gas and Lucy was chewing on her feet a lot and has completely stopped doing it since I switched to grain-free. I was originally feeding Science then switched to Chicken Soup for a while and that didn’t help either. On this food their stools are solid and smaller. I also noticed after a time if we have missed a few during yard scooping and find it later, it has turned white and breaks down.

Hi Sandi,

It's been a while so we wanted to check in and say HI and send pictures. Kona is doing great! We just got home from the dog park and she is sleeping on the floor. We love her so much. She is such an awesome dog and companion. She is a few days shy of 9 mos...I can't believe it...and she weighs 70 lbs. She is so sweet and everyone that meets her falls in love with her and can't believe how beautiful she is. People always stop us (no matter where we are) b/c they want to pet her and comment on how beautiful and well-behaved she is, especially at such young age.

She loves going for car rides, walks, runs, to the dog park and she LOVES going to doggie day care at the Claws and Paws Inn. We take her there every now and then and she has a blast. She runs circles around all the other dogs the whole time she is there. Her favorite friends are a Great Dane and an English Bulldog. She follows the Great Dane everywhere! Kona is full of energy and very friendly and playful. She also likes going to Yappy Hour on Saturdays at the Happy Dog Cafe here in Belmont, NC, where they get free doggie daiquiris and doggie treats and play with other dogs.

She is very well behaved and she has already graduated from puppy class and intermediate class. In the fall we plan to take her to the advanced class. She has a few friends in class as well and she loves the trainer. Everyone else in the class called her the teacher's pet! That's our girl;-)

Anyway, we hope you are doing well and are having a great summer. We like to show Kona pictures of her mom and dad and brothers and sisters. We enjoy reading your testamonials. Have a great one and we will be back in touch.

Love,
Kona, Alli and Steve

Hi Sandi,

Sorry I haven’t written you back any sooner. I’ve been sooo busy with “freedom” or as we have named him Zuko. He’s a little handful. He is hands down the greatest puppy I’ve ever had and I think about him all day long while I’m at work. Potty training has gone perfectly!! He’s only had a couple of accidents when I slept in too late. He loves to play and always always always wants to be outside. He likes to yell at me when I don’t take him out enough. I love his little baby bark J I can’t help but laugh at him even though he’s trying to be serious. I just say oooh you’re terrifying J He lays in the strangest positions he’s just the funniest thing. I’ve attached some pictures I’ve taken of him recently. I vote he’s the cutest thing on the planet. I’ll update you more as he grows.

Thanks again for my new best friend Zuko.
Melissa

Hello Sandi,

We wanted to send you an update on our beautiful boy Mr. Bigg (aka Right Way). We took a family camping trip this weekend and he had a blast as usual. I want to tell you everything about him but you already know how perfect he is. All we can say is WOW, HE IS REALLY OUR'S! Thank you, Thank you so much! I can't believe he is already seven months old, he weighted in at 77lbs. He does it all! We are still in shock that he fetched sticks out of the lake all day. He loves the water along with everything/everyone else. He also makes the perfect jogging partner for me. I hope you enjoy the pic's from this weekend.

Take care, God Bless,
Tiffany, Tim & the boys

He loves sticks

Hi Sandi,

I been so busy giving Roco all of my attention since I have picked him up I only had a min to write you just to let you know that I have received him. I want to thank you so much for giving Roco to us. He is gorgeous!!! His markings are incredible!!! My son has not left Roco''s side since the second I picked him up from school. He is so happy and excited he calls him his baby brother :). I was married at a young age and lost my husband to cancer when I was 21 years old. My son was just about to turn 2. He has been through an emotional roller coaster. So its been him and I for the past 8 years. For the past 3 years he has been begging for a dog ( I believe every little boy needs a dog :) ) and finally this year he has done excellent in school getting honor for the first time and his behavior has completely improved so after months of researching dogs we decided on American Bulldogs. And after searching hundreds of sites I came across yours and fell in love with Roco. Great looking dog. I believe Roco is the piece that we are both missing from our lives. He is so sweet and cuddles a lot already. He has me on one side and Sam ( my son ) on the other lol. Sam says today is the happiest day of his life and there is nothing better than hearing that from him. I have always tried my hardest to give him everything he has wanted because of the struggles he has been through and Roco is definitely that piece we needed. He has so much love already. I will keep you updated with some pictures and let you know how he is doing. And again thank you so much for blessing us with Roco.

Thanks
Eleni
