Loving Memory of Chloe January 6,2004 to December 12, 2004
When we bought Chloe from Wizardofclaws, she was just about 3 months old. She wasn't a little puppy, quite a little chunk in fact, but oh how we fell in love with her. We were her first family and I was going to spoil her rotten with love, toys, treats and a large pillow to sleep on. Chloe was going to grow up with Haley our 19 month old daughter just as I had grown-up with Millicent, a miniature schnauzer too that had been in my family for 15 years. Chloe became one of the family and always within reach of Haley. But on December 12, she thought she would run around the yard and something must have caught her eye and Chloe ran into the street. She was the victim of a hit and run. Neighbors and friends were quick to help. But we couldn't save Chloe. We morn the loss of one of our family. We didn't have her long, but I know that we gave her as much love as she gave us. Jim and Gilda heard about our loss of Chloe. They also heard about how upset we all were. Also, how the neighbors felt about Chloe and how she touched so many people that knew her. On January 10, 2005 Jim gave us a little schnauzer puppy to replace Chloe. We picked her up at the store and I couldn't believe my eyes. How someone that was touched by our loss, could give us such a gift that would fill our hearts with joy again. She was so cute and Haley was kissing her on the nose an giving her hugs. We named her Zoië, because that was Haley's favorite movie and also she was able to call her by name.

Hi , we wanted to say thank you , we could not be more happy
with her. she is everything we could have wanted and more. We have told
everyone how nice you all were and what a nice place she came from. William&Amy
Hi Gilda :) Just wanted to
drop you a note and tell you my daughter and I went to the Ft.Lauderdale Dog
Club dog show this weekend in Davie ..( just to visit)...we had our little
Maddie (long haired chihuahua we got from you ) with us. Terri :)
Gilda, I just have to come out and say it...... I
think I have ripped you off! I can't
believe what a doll KiKi is.
She is practically wee wee trained and is as smart as a whip!
She just went to the vet today and received a clean bill of health! She also just barely weighed in at
1lb.! We had to put a kitty bell on her so
we can hear her coming! My
husband and I can't believe we got THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD!
So that's why I feel so guilty!
Thank you for bringing her into our lives and as soon as I figure out how to
use my digital camera..... I'll be sending you pictures. I love your
site and still go on it constantly just to check out all the cuties!
Whatever you guys are doing over there..... you're doing it right! KiKi is
the most affectionate little thing and you can tell it comes from love. Thank you
all!!!!! Judy & Alex &
KiKi (Forest Hills, NY)
Hi..
Since we are big fans of your website and of course think the puppy we got
from you is the cutest and best ever... we wanted to send you an updated
picture of Maddie...she's almost a year now....and she is actually in heat
You had said when we got her to never have her spayed.. Why did you say
NEVER...Ive heard that breeding the little chichi's can be a very hard time
for these little ones...and at one time we were thinking about letting her
have one litter..but now we are thinking not. Im a bit worried about putting her
through the spaying surgery.. should i have concerns. I just want your thoughts please.
Maddie has the best personality.
WE have three long haired chi's and she is by far the cutest and best
behaved of them all. Ive had so many people tell us what
a beautiful chi she is..and when we are ready we'll be back to see you
again.
WE sent our niece and nephew over to you at xmas time..and they bought two
long haired chi chi's from you.....i haven't seen the pups since xmas but am
looking forward to seeing them soon.
Anyways..here's a new picture of maddie playing in the laundry we were
folding! Isn't she a doll!... I hope to see this pic of her too on your
site...
THANKS AGAIN..and if you can answer my questions above..i'd really
appreciate it.
Terri Phillips
JIM Puffin sends her love. She is one little orange
ball of terror, but very affectionate. You know when I bought the dog
about my husband passing away. And in some ways, I think and feel that he
watches me through Puffin’s eyes. This dog is the love of my
life and I couldn’t be happier. I have referred to you to many many
people. Thanks again, Natalie
Hi Gilda, You can add our names to the list of very
happy owners of our new female Yorkie, Demitasse. She is smart and
healthy. She is only 1-1/2 pounds in weight and is adorable and
lovable. _
Subject: RE:
maltese/yorkie Hi - Just wondering if you got the pictures that we sent you of
Coco?
She's a doll! Having a problem teaching her to walk on
a leash - she's a typical female with an "attitude." Guess I never had
that problem with Yorkies before because I've always had more than one and
the new one just took off after the others. I'm on my own now - Yikes!
She's doing really really well on the potty training - and I
haven't actually done anything yet. I just take her out CONSTANTLY and
in the middle of the night, if she has to go out, she wakes me up with
kisses! She sleeps next to her daddy, but it's me she wakes up!
Something wrong with this picture.
Just lost my Yorkie up north - Winston was 15 years young on
Aug. 29th. They (my pet sitter) had to put him down Oct. 22. He shook
all the time (Cushings Disease), had totally lost control of his bladder,
and "squeaked" when you tried to pick him up. Dr. Ann checked him
after she put him down, because the "squeak" in his spine drove her nuts.
His spine was full of tumors. She called me immediately to re-assure
me I had definately done the right thing. He was a wonderful friend
for 15 years - I was determined he was not going to suffer. He didn't
deserve that. Soooooo - Coco is now an "only child." Another "Yikes"
here. Don't know how long I'm going to last with just one, but I'm
going to try. If she's anything like Sammi, she'll want to go
everywhere with me, and I can only take one when I'm shopping. Well
see............
Sorry I babbled. Hope you got the pictures, anyway.
Think I got a great one of her on the beach, but have 10 more pictures to
take before I can get them developed. Our groomer got one of her with
her "hat" on - he's going to e-mail it to me in a few days so I can print it
out. If it's "too adorable" I'll send you a copy of that, too.
Do you know where we can get "hats, sunglasses, etc." for
Coco? Tried looking on the net, but haven't found anything.
She's so tiny, it's hard to find something that will fit her. I want
her to get use to sunglasses & hats while she's young. Thanks - again, sorry for babbling!

Good Evening, Gilda!
I am so impressed
with my visit to your place today that I have made a commitment to
myself to "tell at least one person every day" about you, your staff
and, especially, your wonderful puppies! After several poor
experiences attempting to purchase a Yorkie from other breeders, I felt
chagrined and sad; Cory and I sadly put our "Joey" to sleep a few months
ago-he was eleven years of age and beloved and, he had traveled all over
the world with Cory (who recently was laid off by American Airlines as a
result of 911). Cory is a very delicate, feminine, intelligent
and, beautiful lady, originally from Central America. "Joey was
very special to both of us for many reasons; personally, I feel that
both of them looked alike as far as their hair was concerned- they both
had beautiful faces, bodies, and especially, hair. Cory doesn't
say much but, when she does, it is in a very soft manner and, my heart
breaks when I remember the night when cory telephoned me from Boca
Raton, several months ago, advising me with tears in her voice, that she
doesn't know what to do about "Joey". He had been to the
Veterinarian in Boca Raton, with us, as well as to the Doctor in
Guatemala with us, who had watched "Joey" for many years. Both
Doctors didn't know what to do for "Joey". He was old and dying-He
couldn't see due to cataracts and kept bumping into walls, he was
bleeding internally as well as from his ears. There was a deep
sadness in our separate families. The night that I went to Cory's home,
I found her standing with "Joey" in her arms atop a blanket, in the
"throes" of death, and Cory weeping. I took her to the emergency
hospital at about 2:00 a.m. and, after an examination, the Doctor
concurred with me and, advised me that the best thing for "Joey" would
be to ;put him to sleep. Gilda, I served in Vietnam, have experienced
some of life's terrible things, really terrible things; Never,
never, have I felt the way I felt that night holding Cory in my arms as
"Joey was put to sleep. After a proper mourning period, both of us
responded to two newspaper advertisements and visited "breeders".
What horrible experiences - they were unprofessional, their places of
business were filthy, thier puppies were dirty and appeared to lack
love, and they both attempted to "Hustle" us. We had such a bitter
experience, that we waited awhile to consider continuing our
search for a Yorkie Teacup Puppy. In desperation, I surfed the net
and found your website and, was so impressed, that I e-mailed you
immediately. You responded at once and, you were most professional
and kind. As a matter of fact, your colleague, Eve, had also
"followed-up" to arrange a convenient appointment in such a non-pressure
some, professional manner that I couldn't wait to come over and visit
your place of business. Today, I arrived at 4:30 p.m., after
receiving explicit wonderful directions. When I arrived, I was
very impressed, as well, by your elegant, clean, beautiful home.
As I walked to the front door, a very nice gentleman, advised me where
to enter and, when I came in , Eve greeted me and then introduced me to
Samantha, who I believe is a delight - I could see in her beautiful face
that she loves what she does and that she loves animals. She
brought two gorgeous male yorkie puppies, I played with them, one of
them loves me, and, I love him! Thanks to all of you, I know that
my efforts and all of yours, will put the beautiful smile back on Cory's
face and in our hearts. Thank you all! I will be visiting
you Friday evening with a deposit @ 7:30 p.m. As a matter of fact,
I am coming alone and intend to surprise Cory for Valentine's Day.
Of Course, I will pick up our new puppy within a few days from Friday -
I just have to make a comfortable place in Cory's home for our new
puppy. Thank you again. And, Samantha you did great work Gilda & Eve & Samantha Thank you.
My new name is TERMINATOR!!! And the name fits... I have had to make friends with two BIG dogs and a large cat---and I DID IT without being eaten--a feat in and of itself! I cannot get over the excellent service given by Delta Airlines. I was prepared to find a scared puppy...instead, when Terminator arrived, he was looking out of the front of the carrier ready to go to the next adventure in his life!! The carrier was clean, he had fresh water and plenty of food, and arrived at the Oakland Airport a few minutes early. and was ready to pick up at the time the flight was supposed to land. You would never have known that he had just completed a long airplane flight. He and I have bonded completely and immediately. Of course, I have arranged my life around him so that he will feel secure. In the three weeks I have had him he has only had to be in his cage (not the carrier) for a total of 4 hours. The "cage" is a wire rabbit cage with a blanket in it which sits on the floor and he can see out completely. This way he doesn't feel like he is abandoned as he is still part of the action. However, between having a rabbit cage for a house and wearing a cat harness, he may be confused as to whether or not he is actuarially a dog! He may be having an identity crisis, i.e., am I really a dog or am I a cat or am I a rabbit???
Thanks, again, for my wonderful "Terminator"
I’m glad that through searching I found your beautiful web
site.
We just had puppies from the two little Chihuahuas that we bought
from you and the puppies are adorable.
She had one blue boy which looks just like Daddy.
Let’s see is he hits the 3 pounds like Big Daddy Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the other two were girls.
Let me ask you a question, have you seen many blue fawns?
Because the color is really unique.
Ginger is a good mom. I will send you pictures when they are about 8
weeks. We are very happy and proud
grandparents. Please send me that information. Jim & Gilda,

HI, WE PICKED UP OUR NEW PUPPIES & THEY ARE WONDERFUL!!
WE HAD OUR
GINGER & ARMANDO ALVARADO Dear Jim & Gilda: He is so cute, very active. Jim said to keep him low
key for the first couple of days. I think that might be a
little hard to do. He acts like he has lived here all his life!
I can't wait until Christmas morning when we can finally let the kids know!
I can't remember how often you said to give him the medicine or why?
Also, is he trained to go to the bathroom Thanks again, Janet Dewhirst
Hi Gilda, wanted you to know Tessa arrived fine last night.
She ate well, slept pretty good and is sitting here in my lap right now.
She is a feisty little buger, and completely adorable. She is ready to
play with my other dog, who is ready to play with her but she is fairly
large so will have to be careful. Thank you for sending me such a
sweetie.
We recieved the westie puppy at the Atlanta airport.
She did just fine on the plane ride. She is beautiful. My
husband and I really love her and I know our son will love her too.
We will send you pictures when we get some made. Thank you both for
being so nice and for finding us such a wonder little puppy. God bless
you and Merry Christmas. Jean Owens -

Just wanted to let you know that The mini Schnauzer you sent to Philadelphia on Sunday is Fine. He is a wonderful little puppy and has been getting along great with his new big brother. He has yet to have one accident in the house and is already doing his business outside. This is the best puppy I have ever had. Once again Thank You.
Rick Jacoby Jim and Gilda, Jjust wanted to
"Thank You" for our Pomeranian that we purchased from you. We named her
"Abigail." She is the best puppy. We would highly recommend you to anyone
looking for a great puppy. Happy New Year to you both and your family as
well. Thank You again, Rhonda Wieske
Hi,
We purchased our puppy from you last month.
He is so amazing. We have 2
other dogs, 2 birds, a rabbit, and a squirrel.
The puppy fits in great! We
named him Jojo. After 3 days, Jojo was making most
of his business outside. My husband taught him to roll over on command.
We are so happy with him.
I own a clothing store called Fusion on Nob Hill & Cleary Blvd. in
Plantation.I've brought Jojo to the store a few times, and I'll be bringing
Jojo to work once he gets bigger. The customers love him!!
Feel free to use us as a reference.
Thanks,
Nicole Astaphan Hello Hi.

much for helping bring Zoe into our family.
She is a true gem! We love her so much and couldnt ask for a better puppy.
Attached is a picture of her.

Hello Jim and Gilda,
The Puppies arrived in good shape, last night. I saw Vickie there at
Barbara Hopple Hi, Gilda Dave Zelinsky here in Panama. The
Puppy (SCOOTER ZELINSKY) is doing great!!! My wife and I are very
pleased with Scooter and thank you very much. He is adjusting very
well Dear Jim & Gilda, We loved your website and the work that you do with animals.
There should be more like you! Jim &
Gilda On a
small note I just like to remark what a beautiful home and family you have. I was very impressed with your own
personal pets. To me, it all reflects your love and
devotion to animals. I
was absolutely, totally overwhelmed.
When we bought the two Westies from you, we told you we had no interest in
breeding. We just wanted to buy a beautiful
pair of dogs to keep each other’s company. After
having these dogs and seeing what they have grown into, it would be a shame
not to keep one of their babies.
Only one problem though, between my two daughters and my son, I don’t think
there will be enough puppies to go around.
Well, we will just let them duke it out.
Marge just wants her little baby from little Myra.
Thank you Joe

really funny to see! Hi Gilda and Jim, I wanted to let you know that Charley arrived on time and is doing fine. She is the cutest little thing that I have ever seen, she stole our hearts right away. When we got her home she was very active, ate and drank, went potty outside, slept and most important of all got lots of love. :) She has discovered where all the toys are and has also discovered the pug in the mirror. She has the best time looking at herself in the mirror. John and I want to thank you for adding such a wonderful family member to our bunch. Charley is loved so much already and she is already being spoiled rotten.
Gilda & Jim, I wanted to

Nicholas Payne writing to let you know that our little female Westie (now
affectionately called Pookie) arrived in perfect time without complication!

and she loves to play. Although a little stubborn (which is
to be expected) she already is paper trained. She also as of yesterday, is
nearly Nicholas and Heather Payne Jim, Just a note to say thank you for our adorable little baby Mark, he is very cute, tiny and adorable. We are very happy that we got him and he has brought a lot of happiness into our family. He is now 2 ½ pounds and he thinks that he is a big dog. He is the best present that I’ve ever given my wife.

Olive. She has eaten a little and had water. She is beautiful. Terri Cosgrave Gilda, We purchased
our "Molly" (bull terrier pup) last Saturday. A wonderful young woman (your
daughter?) helped with the sale. I promised that I would write on occasion
and give her an update. We named our puppy "Molly" and she is wonderful! We
love her dearly. She has ajusted well to her new home and seems to be quite
happy and spoiled! She is showing her true "bully" spirit and I wear the
bruises to show it. I must confess;I can't wait til those baby teeth go! I
