Spring has arrived here in the Northeast. I've been busy keeping everyone up...with either hair groomings or hair cuts. But more to my liking this time of year: planting stuff! I have put in some early cool loving lettuces and broccoli and planted bush bean seeds...and as the nurseries have them outside (and hoping that frosts stay away) I've filled up the pots with flowers. Hopefully we're safe!
Love celebrating oldsters birthdays. This one is especially sweet: she made it to celebrate her 13th birthday, but passed thereafter. Loved showing this little girl for Paul and Kathleen Kelley. Willow made her mark in so many ways. Willow is great-grandma to the week-old little ones nettled under their mom in my kitchen right now.

CH Kiara My Heart's on Fire,
Thirteen years old today, February the 4th!
Remember well the night she was born!
Happy that you were the midwife!

More up-dates come from many others. Love when TTs excel in a variety of ways. Having good temperaments is one of my many goals...and I guess that helps when they achieve more admirable expectations. Doris and Doc are two such TTs I can be extremely proud of. Congratulations and keep up all your good work!
Doris and I passed our
Intermountain Therapy Animals evaluation today. I am so proud of this sweet
Tibetan Terrier. I believe that Doris's personality is perfect for therapy
work. She is a confident, happy little girl who likes people. She excells at
cuddling. I look forward to introducing her to the world. Thank you Dennis J Gunsher for breeding loving
companion dogs, Travis Brock and Miles Everett
for being terrific puppy raisers and Tails of Joy for assisting me in the
process.

Hello
Dennis,
Brian
and I picked up Linus just before Christmas this year and we have been falling
in love ever since! He loves the snow-- see the attached photos.

Hi Dennis,
I have been meaning to send you an update on Doc for a while!
Near the end of 2016 Doc completed Therapy Dog training and has
been going on visits. The attached photo was at a local college that was having
a finals de-stress event. I am amazed at how quickly Doc took to this kind of
work. He knows exactly what to do - even getting up and greeting each new
person as they entered the group. He loves being the center of attention!
Doc has also been coming to work with me at the National Brain
Tumor Society a couple days a week. It's great to have a dog in the office! He
is there for all of my co-workers when they need a few minutes to get away from
it all and play with or pet him. Occasionally he tries to take a job!
See the photo of him sitting at my desk working on the jerseys for the Boston
Brain Tumor Ride.
We love holiday celebrations, so Doc made sure that he had his
St. Patrick's Day hat this past weekend!
Hope all is well with you!
Jill Higgins & Doc
Everyday we are surprised
by how good this dog is! Doc has the best personality (he does have his
quirks!) of any dog we've ever had.
He is a star at my office.
We have one woman who doesn't like dogs and is in LOVE with him. Her kids have
wanted a dog for years and she's always said no, but after meeting Doc she's
reconsidering. My boss’s boss will come over, scoop Doc up and take him to
meetings with her. She wants to trade in her yellow lab for Doc!
We have put a lot of time
and effort into training him (he starts obedience and agility this weekend
after taking the winter off), but are still awed by what an amazing personality
was bred into this dog!
Thanks!
Jill
Dennis,
Wanted
to show you a few pictures from Tashi's 1st Birthday. We had cake hats
and of course lots of presents for our boy. I have more pictures and will
send them on. We really thank you for giving us the chance to have this
precious boy in our lives. He makes even tough days turn into good ones.
We love him more than anyone will ever know. Thank you again for your advice
and most of all our 1st TT!
Amy,
Denny & Victor
Miss watching TV with my little girl. It's
already been two weeks without her.
Jack is still sad as well--hoping every
time I come back home from doing errands that I have Willow with me.
Oh well —for a happier thought— enjoy Spring
and Happy Easter! —Kathleen
Sharing two photos--one of Willow watching
"Outlander" (oops don't know how to correct position) and the other
taken not too long ago.
