Thank you to everyone!!

FROM DUANE:

Thank you to everyone for all the responses & help. Duncan found a good home.

All our dogs are now with good homes, and we are done breeding. Thank you again to everyone we met and placed a dog with over the years - we treasure you all! 

BTW - I still have Kayrn's favorite - Thinkerbelle, as a companion for home & when I go places.

FROM ROBB (KAYRN'S SON):

This will be the last post. I'll leave the website up for a while, for the pictures & memories - as well as the link to mom's memorial. The email and ability to comment will end as well.

Brooklyn Kidd Levybrower at 6 yrs

Brooklyn is almost six!

Hi Duane and Karyn,
Wanted to let you know that my Brooklyn is the best companion a girl could ask for! I took her to be groomed today with a new groomer who has been doing her craft for over 25 years, and she said she had NEVER seen such a loving Scottie. Of course, it was no surprise to me and you told me she was very affectionate from the start so I am sure you aren't surprised either!
I love my little girl! Thanks to you!!!!
My best to you,
Lauri

Duffy

Hello Kayrn and Duane,

We said goodbye to Duffy on July 15th. One day after his birthday. He suffered no pain, exhibited no indication of disease, he simply grew slower and frailer over the past month until it became time to let him go. We were with him, reminding him of our love and what a good boy he was until his spirit left his body. Our hearts are broken, but they will mend. Gus and Fiona will see to that.

We've shared our lives with many canine companions but never was there one as special as Duffy. He lived his life with a joy that was contagious. Just being around him lifted our spirits and made us happier. We will always be grateful for the wonder of this mighty little dog.
I've posted his final video. It celebrates the magical joy that he shared with us.

How fortunate we all are to have been touched by the love of Scotties.

Fritz

Good Morning Duane,

I didn't want another day to go by without saying Thank You for our Little Fritz. He traveled well and was a perfect gentleman in the bathtub. He is such a joy and keeps us entertained royally. He settled right in taking over pretty much everything. He and Dobby get along great and Fritz has brought Dobby out of his shell. They are fun to watch! Fritz has had a wellness check, required before his surgery, which is on the 10th. He goes to the groomer on the 4th, so I will be taking pictures and will send you one for sure. We are amazed at his energy level, he is more like a two year old than 7. He is like the energizer bunny!!

Again, Thank you and Kayrn for sharing Fritz with us. Lots of smiles around here. Be assured that he will be well cared for.

Best to you both,
Wand and Jerry Martin
