May 15, 2007 - "Hi Laura, How are you? We're doing great. Adjusting to life with a new puppy. Gunnar has adjusted well. Our 4 yr. old is so taken with him, they are buddies. When she goes to bed, I get him calmed down so he'll go to sleep with her. He usually stays there a couple of hours and then comes out and he's sleeping through the night in his kennel.
The first couple of days we had him, she balled when we had to leave him because she was so sad and she was going to miss him.
I took him to the vet on Friday for his 48 hr. check-up, they said he looked great. He had his ears unwrapped yesterday and they went ahead and took his stitches out because the skin was already starting to grow over them. We go tomorrow to get them re-wrapped.
Potty training... He's doing better, he has had some accidents though. Partially my fault, just learning when to tell he needs to go. He is sleeping all night without going. Last night I put him in his kennel at 10 pm and John got him out this morning at 5 am.
I've included some pictures for you to see he is doing well.
Thanks, Misty"

This pup is still one of the sweetest! He continues to follow
all of us around and loves attention!

This boy is going to be quick to bond! He is probably the
baby of the litter in that he is usually first to act pitiful about
something - like bath time! I say he will bond quickly
because he CRAVES attention. He likes to follow or be
somewhat in the middle of things. Very sweet boy!

WE GET TO KEEP GUNNAR!!!
"Hi Laura,
I took a blood test last week to make sure what I'm allergic to and my doctor just called with the results. I am not allergic to dog or cat. I'm highly allergic to birch and alder and a mold. Those have been very high lately and it started when we got Gunnar. So every time he goes outside it's all over him and he brings it in with him and it gets on everything he touches. I truly did think it was him I was allergic to!
From the bottom of my heart, I am so very sorry!!!

"Hi Laura,
How are you? We have a problem on our hands...severe allergies. We love Gunnar so much, he is such a sweetheart and he's so playful and great with the girls. But I am severely allergic to dog dander. Since he's been here I'm having to use prescription eye drops and taking 24 hr. relief allergy/congestion medications just to get through and day without being halfway miserable and having awful sneezing attacks. In fact, I had to go to the doctor today to get something different to work better. I've also noticed my 4 yr. olds eye's being really red the past 2 days. I've always had bad eye allergies but I've never in my life have had a dog so I didn't know I was allergic to their dander. I was really disappointed the other night, I found online that this breed is one of the top dogs to AVOID for dander allergies. Do you have a waiting list of someone that is waiting for a puppy?
I'm so sorry and we're all so disappointed.
Thanks,
Misty"
REPLY BACK:
"Misty,
I don't know what to say, but I am deeply sorry. I sent the email out to my bulk waiting list. I have also posted the availability on the home page, current availability page and added your email to his page. I am trying to recover most of your costs. I can't really recover the shipping you paid. I hope this is acceptable to you. I know you are needing to have it happen quick to reduce further bonding with him and remove the allergen. I will give it my best effort.
Laura"
