NERO, WHAT A HANDSOME GUY AT 1 YEAR
ODIN AT GRADUATION CLASS I AM GOING TO INSERT
THE FOLLOWING NOTE FROM JIM & KI.M I WAS
LAUGHING SO HARD I FEEL THE NEED TO SHARE:

Hi Donna,
Well Odin has been to his first dog show.  Wow what an
experience.  When we first arrived there he was so
excited I thought it was going to be anything but good
time.  He was very worked up as soon as we parked the
car and he saw all of the dogs walking by outside.  He
practically dragged me the whole way to the
building.(about a half mile) Thank God that "attitude"
didn't last too long...He adjusted to the atmosphere
very well and in no time he was maneuvering through the
crowd like an old pro.

In Novice Obedience he did OK I knew he wasn't ready
to actually qualify but I learned a lot and it was
great experience for his. The judges let us finish all
of the exercised even though he didn't qualify.  I
will say that he did the Recall and the long sit and
long down almost perfectly I was very proud.

In Conformation he listened very well and didn't pull
away.  He stood nice for the judge. He was the only
one in his category so he won first place on both
days.
I have a lot to learn myself as far as showing him
off.
At least we know he has no Disqualifications or big
faults otherwise the judge wouldn't have  given him a
first.

I thought you as the proud Grandma would be happy to
know that Odin Ernst Kaiser Von Kittler (his full
name)did receive his Canine Good Citizen Certificate
this weekend.  We were very happy about that.

And another good note he also served as a positive
ambassador for the Rottweiler breed with all of the
kids and Moms and Grandmas that petted him and talked
to him this weekend. I hope you don't mind that I gave
your website to some people that I talked to there
that were so impressed with him.

Once again thank you for our wonderful addition to our
family.

Grandma,

What big eyes I have....I have seen so much!

What big feet I have...........boy, have they taken me places!

What a big tummy I have........I weigh 63lbs at 4 1/2 months!

What a beautiful smile......my family loves me so!

Grandma,
You have given me the best family ever! Everyone treats me so well! I know
who to go to for treats and who to go to, when I get in trouble! My Mommy!
My Daddy takes me and our family for walks and he plays rough house with
me when I have a little extra energy! My Daddy lets me clean the yard with him
and I help Mommy prune the rose bushes. I also help my brothers and sister
pick up the fruit that has fallen on the ground. Yum Yum, for my tummy, tum
tum! I also like to skateboard and play tag with the birds in the yard and my
brothers and sisters.....no one has tagged me yet. I love to play in the water
sprinkler when Daddy waters the yard, I always get extra time in it, when
Daddy and Mommy make the other kids come in....hee hee!
I have to go for now, because we are about to eat......my favorite thing to do!

All my love and Kisses,
Tyson!
HERE WE ARE GOING HOME &GROWING UP WITH OUR NEW FAMILIES
AND HERE IS TYSON WITH HIS NEW MOM & DAD IN CA.,
ALONG WITH HIS PICTURES, TYSON WROTE ME A LETTER
Hi Donna!

So happy to read that Bear has found his forever home. God Bless you
for what you do for the lost and forgotten ones.

Quick update on my Charli Girl. New pics coming soon. We just had a
small family reunion of sorts and she was lucky to have "cousins" from
Missouri to play with for awhile. Both the two legged and 4 legged kind.
One of the 4 legged cousins was 1/2 her size and quite bossy. She of
course behaved like the lady that she is. No fear, just a laid back,
"I'm a lover, not a fighter" attitude. Again, once I get my film
developed, I'll send a few pictures your way.

I am happy to say that Charli obtained her CGC last week. In June she
will begin Advanced obedience. She seems to enjoy the classes very much.
As I tell you in every email I write, I get so many compliments on her
I've lost track of them. The tester for CGC license asked her age and
said that she was a beautiful dog and had a wonderful personality.
Everyone wants to know where I got her and they say, "Whatever you paid,
you certainly got your money's worth with this little girl". She is a
perfect example of what a Rottie can and should be for those people who
lack information and sense and who assume the worst about them based on
bad owners. Your name has been given to numerous people. :-)

As always, thank you Donna for my Charli Girl. She is a shining star.
Take care
Beth C
Donna

Haven't sent you a pic of Charli Girl in a while.  Here's one from last
week.  Was walking on the treadmill in the basement. (After 1-1/2
years,
she has finally decided that she wants to go down the stairs)  When I
turned around and looked behind me, attached photo is what I saw.  

When I first saw them, they were both sound asleep. Charli woke up
when
I went to grab a camera.

Both of them are still best buddies.  When Nate cries, I mean really
cries, not just whining about something, Charli is the first one there,
licking and licking and licking every inch of him that she can reach.  

Nate is rather proud as he has taught her to jump over a rope that he
strings across the hallway.  He has to show everyone her new
"trick".

Charli continues to be an absolute blessing.  Dewayne still teases me
about switching ribbons when we first picked her out, but I remain
firm
in my belief that sometimes you just know which one is "the one".  
You
can feel it.  I still think we made the right choice for us.  She is
perfect and a wonderful part of our family.  Continues to make friends
wherever she goes and proves to people that rottweilers are not at all
what people think.


Thanks again for my sweet girl.
Beth
Hi Donna,

Hope all is going well.  Bosco is doing great.
Attached are some pictures of my buddy.  Hope you have
a good Xmas.

CAESAR CHRISTMAS 2006
Hi Grandma, Here are two more recent pictures. The close up of Jimmy & I was used on our family Christmas card
this year....some people have said it looks like I'm smiling The second one is by the train under the tree. I must admit,
I didn't like the loud noise the train made at first, but I got used to it. I'm doing great. Everyone tells my mom how
beautiful I am. We love taking walks when Jimmy is in school. The kids at school are so happy to see me when we
pick him up. My favorite place to sleep now is on mom & dad's bed. I hope everyone is doing great. My mom keeps
telling my dad I need a playmate, so hopefully sometime soon.    Take care.......Love you,   Jenna

I am sure you are probably wondering what Reagan looks
like now.  Well here she is with her brother Matt.
She is doing really well.

Good morning Donna
I hope that you are doing well.  Thought I'd send you some copies of
the pics that we had taken with Nate and Charli last month. I had to scan
them in so they don't look near as nice as the originals, but thought you
would like to see them just the same.
Photos were taken by Hillside Studio outside of Freeport Illinois by
Jody Coss.  She does wonderful work.  Her mother, Donna Coss is now
retired, but is very well known for her photography of animals.  Have seen
her name on many website photos for breeders, and magazines.
Jody said that Charli was one of the best behaved rottweilers she's
worked with (I'm such a proud mama).
Nate and Charli remain fast friends. We play baseball in the yard.  I
pitch, Nate bats, and Charli plays outfield.  She's quite a sight, sitting in
the middle of the yard, watching and waiting for the next fly ball.  I
think that the photos Jody took really reflect Nate and Charli's
relationship.  My personal favorite is image#2.  But Jody at Hillside if very
happy with image#4, saying she thinks that it is one of her all time
favorites and has said that she thinks the AKC should have a copy of it
(again,... me the proud mama) :-)  
Image #4 will be on display in their booth at the fair this year.  
Again, the scanned image doesn't really do the photo justice, but wanted
to share the copies with you so you could see how beautiful my Charli
Girl is.  I hope that they come thru OK.
Take Care!
Charli sends hugs and kisses to mom, dad and grandma!

Donna,

This is Jason and Bosco, and we have been waiting for
Gertrude & Hanz to have more puppies so that Bosco could
have a brother.  I saw that you are breeding them with
puppies expected in January.    I just adore Bosco so much
and can't wait to get him a brother to play with.  Here is a
picture of  Bosco, sorry the camera had dust on the lens.
Hey Donna.
Quick pic of Charli Girl.
Haven't sent you one in awhile.
Have a great fall season.
Charli sends kisses to Grandma
Take care!
