Finley's dads say, "He is an amazing dog.  We love him to pieces".

"The boys and Luna are doing well.  She slept through the night and now up playing with the boys.  There are lots of giggles coming from my downstairs because Luna is licking all the boys!"

"Luna did great at the park on her leash."

"She did great last night; 10:00 p.m. - 5:40 a.m. with no accidents."

"My sister was just here with her 1 year old son.  Luna was so loving and playful, I am sooo happy".

"Dave and I are absolutely amazed at how fantastic Luna is about sleeping in her crate at night.  Every night around 10:00  she comes upstairs and gets in her crate and goes to bed!  Thank you so much!!"

Hi Steve and Cindy,

So nice to hear from you!  Mystic had a very busy day rooting her big brother on in his second game of the play offs.  Sadly we lost but the boys gave it their all and played with heart.  As a third seed team playing against a first seed team we knew we had our work cut out for us.  Although we lost, we are proud that they were able to make  the first and last touchdowns of the game with a final score 31-13.

Mystic is adjusting nicely.  And Steve is correct...She is exhausted! She did well with all the kids at the field wanting to pet her and all the parents were impressed at how good her temperament is.  

 When we returned home, the heavens opened up and the floodgates unleashed a torrent of water... despite the thunder and lightening, she went out in the rain and walked up and down the neighborhood.  She particularly enjoyed the puddles.  Boy does she love water!  We were both soaked but still didn't want to come in.  Mystic wanted to investigate everything and was not going to let a little water get in her way. Currently she is resting on the couch with the girls and has a favorite spot all picked out.

Attached are a few pictures from today's adventures. We will definitely send you some pictures tomorrow with Mystic dressed in costume and treating in the hood! 

Please feel free to drop us a line anytime you would like to check in. 

Thank you for such a great addition to our family!

"We are so thankful that we met you to have such a wonderful dog join our family.  We love having him.  He is doing such a great job in his kindergarten class, learning so quickly."

"Thanks so much for the opportunity to welcome Fig into our home.  She has brought us so much joy and laughter".

A few days later...

"Hi Cindy,👋 how are you?  Ziggy is doing amazing😀 in his crate.  He has been eating all of his food.  He is so much fun to play with.  I am so grateful.  Just yesterday, we got Ziggy's license.  He is really good in the car. 🚗  He has been doing great at his training and walking.  Thank you so much for this opportunity.  I really love ❤️ Ziggy.  He is number one dog.  THANKS. 🙏

Dear Cindy and Steven,

I thought I would let you know how BobbieLee is assimilating into our family.  She is doing very well.  Thank you for your working with your puppies.  She usually goes to bed around 9 or 9:30 and gets up around 5:00   Today she woke at 2:45 and peed and pooped, but yesterday we had to be at a meeting and were gone for 4 hours.  So she was a little off, but she will get back on track.

She and Nicky mostly ignore each other - that is Nicky choice right now - she tries to play but he doesnt want any part of it.  Sometimes they will lie together on one of the big beds, but it will come together.

On Friday she went to the Vets in Fairhaven - I’ve had the vet for over 30 years - its hard to change to someone closer.  She did great and she is due back to vets in 4 weeks.  Everyone loved her there.  Figgie and BobbieLee have appointments for grooming with your sisters groomer in Walpole - they were told how old BobbieLee was and they just do a quick wash and toenails.  We don’t go until mid may I am in the process of transfeering ownership of BobbieLee to me with homeagain the microchip firm

She eats well and right now she is sleeping on my feet as I am typing this.

Hi Steve and Cindy,

We are doing well and Mystic is doing just fine!  Kids are loving her and she is soaking all the love in!  The kids fight to feed, walk, and play with her. 

They are looking forward to next week when they can spend the entire day with her. Here is a picture from one of our walks. 

We had a good, quiet night.  He woke up early, but went right outside and did his business.

"Hi Cindy and Steve.

Fig is a big hit.  She loves Chummie, and watched football with friends at our home.  No accidents and slept all night with no crying.  She loves her car seat and walking in the rain!  Very laid back!  She doesn't seem to require a lot of going out to do her business, but we still go out a lot.  Clearly, she was loved by you and Steven, and socially, she is very comfortable.  Love her SO much."

Dear Steven and Cindy,

Rocket has adjusted amazingly!  Here are a few pictures.

"She is a really, really good girl and we are thrilled to have her."

We had a great day!  Boomer played some, took a nice nap and played some more.  He has been great!  He ate his lunch and all his dinner.  We LOVE him!!  I'll keep in touch.

"Hello from Figgie Land! (Otherwise known as Naples, Florida).  We had a wonderful trip down with our baby and she is loving Florida!!  In this picture, she is guarding my row boat from pelicans!! What a perfect gal.  She and Chummie are so good together.  Merry Christmas and thank you for such a blessing as Figgie.  (During this time of year, she is often called Figgie Pudding"!

Hi Cindy

All is great.  BobbieLee has an appointment on Friday with vet.  She slept until 6am today and peed and pooped.  Then had her breakfast.  She is chewing a bone right now as I am getting dressed.  She went to bed around 9:30 last night although she slept on the sofa with Brad and I as we were watching tv.  She eats well. No mistakes. We are keeping a schedule of her outsides until we really know
She has liked staying in my bathroom by herself. So I have closed the door to have her feeling more included. She wants to play with Nicky but he seems to still be aloof
She is so very sweet and loving

Barb

"We are thankful for you, too!"

"So our sweet Jill-a-Roo is amazing.   She learned to swim with my youngest son today.  We love her so much."

P.S.  She jumped in all on her own.                      

"Hi Cindy and Steve!  Naima is great and LOVING her new best friend, Ziggy.  Dylan has to bribe her for his own "Ziggy snuggle time" since he has found Ziggy to be (his words), "the coolest dog ever"!  Ziggy likes to hike and really loves running with me.  He seems to be a bit of a bird dog, also loves butterflies and bees (that may not work out for him!)  He is sleeping perfectly now until 6:30 - 7:00 a.m., now that we moved him in with Naima.  Which is to say, all is great."

Dear Steven and Cindy,

I think he might be Evelyn's favorite.  Thank you again.

Hi Cindy,
We loved your card!  Thanks for sharing with us!  Good luck with the new pups:). I don't believe I sent along the video you had asked for earlier, sorry things got away from me with the holidays, and then we were away for a bit.  It's attached!
But have fun, we saw the updated website looks great!  Scout is doing well and now he can walk a full hallway on his hind legs... a regular circus dog!!
Best wishes for a great new year and healthy pups!  We will pass along cards to any interested folks we know!

"Rocket was exhausted last night, we could barely keep him up past 8:30 p.m.  Harper took him out at 10:00 and he pottied.  He slept until 4:45 a.m.  He did not want to be alone, so Harper slept on the floor next to the crate.  He has been great all day."

"He has been doing fabulous!  He slept through the night until 5:00 a.m.  It is amazing how he pees and poops on command when using the key words!  No accidents yet.  He is eating all of his food.  He was a little whiney when first in his crate but it stopped quickly.  He has been so full of energy.  Poor guy, hardly got to take a nap."

A few words from Finley's owners...

It's clear from all their puppies that Steve and Cindy, who own Tails from Down Under, are amazing and love their dogs to no end. We can't express our appreciation enough for our terrific experience with Tails. They made our Finley one of the most fearless, loving, healthy and playful pups (photogenic, too).  He's comfortable with people and, just a few days in, has been so trainable. We spent a couple lengthy visits with the pup at their house, which really demonstrated what great parents they were. It was really just like walking into another family. Separately, they were so kind as to include a take-home bag on the day Finley came home to NY, which included, among other more practical and informational things, a biography letter of Finley's early life which is very much treasured.

Finley says, "Nothing better than Christmas in New York with my dads".

Good evening Cindy and Steve.   Thanks for your note.   We are truly grateful with having Mystic as part of our family.   She is a great puppy.  Happy Thanksgiving!

"Finley is just the greatest dog by the way.  So smart and well behaved."

​We are staying local for the weekend, we certainly could not leave our Finley Bear!  He is such a joy - so playful, fully house trained, not afraid of anything (except mint-flavored toothpaste - haha!)  Everyday we remark about how lucky we are, which is such a testament to you and Steve. ​

Hi Cindy   Hi Steven

Just an update on BobbieLee.  She is definitely part of the family.    She is such a loving puppy - it is very hard to try to discipline her when she might be bad.  She really is such a good puppy - up at 5, pees and poops, breakfast followed by some play time outside, again nap time and she is so loving.  At night the 4 of us pile onto the sofa and watch tv together (Brad, Nicky, BobbiLee and me) she starts out with me and then moves onto Brad.

She will be 4 months old next week but I did start today to give her a little more food.  As I am sitting at my laptop now, she is on my lap  and sometimes in the afternoon we will lie down on the bed in the sun together.  I love that.
