Carefree’s Dr. Seuss, CGC “Lexie” (Ch. Itoba Dr. Science, ECM and Mac)  “Lexie is a very nice dog and a quick learner. She is good at rolling over and at singing when asked to – (bark bark). She likes to watch Animal Planet and to play ball. At night, Lexie sleeps with us kids and goes under the covers. She is getting very good at flipping the covers up to go underneath to keep warm.” – Submitted by Kayla and Tyler (Lexie’s “kids”) |

| Carefree’s Alkaline (Tommy ex Holly) “Acoma  “Acoma has a new job, as the picture shows. We take him to some of the book selling events to attract people to the sales table. He does a good job and he is so well behaved at the events! He eventually does get tired and needs to take a nap, but he loves the attention and new people. Our friend who started working Acoma, teaching him how to run in Canine Agility events, wants to try him in Rally, but we haven’t been able to get together lately for her to work with him. We think he’d be really good as he so wants to please. Our only concern would be that in the show ring he may be so focused on other people (hoping to get some love) that he would be distracted. Only one way to find out, though.”Submitted by owner – Marilyn |

CH Cascade Carefree Citation, AX AXJ MGC MKC MAC WDX JH “Boxcar Billy” (Ch. McMurphy Fieldstone Foster and Kendyl)  “Since Billy has been training in the field, his trainer told him to act like a duck and think like one, too. However, Billy wanted to dress like one as well. I think the Cocker went too far this time. I went to the pet store yesterday, to buy dog food. Not a big deal, usually takes about 15 minutes because the store is only about 5 minutes from the house. I decided to take Billy (the celebrity English Cocker) with me. This caused my short trip to last about an hour and a half!! The moment I took him out of the van, Billy was working the crowd. He barked at everyone he could see to draw attention to himself as we walked to the store. A couple people stopped us and asked to pet him. Of course he was wagging his stump and entire rear end. He sat and looked cute.A couple minutes, later I got into the store and put Billy into the kiddy seat in the cart. Little did I realize that this seat provided him with the perfect vantage point from which to work the people in the store. He sat in the seat and looked cute. Apparently, Billy has been to the dog store a couple times before yesterday. Most of the staff knew him by NAME. No doubt Tim and Billy have worked the crowd before, as a couple salespeople mentioned that Billy usually comes in with a tall guy.In the checkout line, Billy met more people. I know he would sign autographs if he could. Finally I checked out. Billy managed to be cute and con ME into buying him a squeaky toy. It was 75% off so I thought, ” what the heck?” The clerk said, ” Billy looks like he wants his toy now.”, and opened the package for him. Billy, of course, was being cute and acted excited when he took the toy from the clerk. “We are leaving the store!!!!” Out in the parking lot, more people saw Billy. They petted him and asked lots of questions. I burned another 15 minutes telling them “his life history”. Of course, Billy was being cute. Before anyone else saw us, I tossed the food in the car, returned the basket, and put Billy in his cage. An hour and a half later, we drove home. MORAL OF THE STORY….if you are going to the pet store and you’re in a hurry, don’t take the celebrity….. leave Billy at home.”Submitted by Julie (Billy’s other owner). |

| Carefree’s Sweet Mercedes “Sadie” (Ch. Itoba Alvin Ailey and Mac)  “You do such an incredible job with those puppies. We still can’t get over how lovable Sadie is. She crawls underneath the covers and snuggles tightly against us to sleep. She just can’t get close enough. Needless to say, Bob is in his glory. He can’t say enough about her to whomever will listen. Amy, she’s beyond words, and I’m not just saying that because she’s our precious baby. She is just the best pup we have ever owned. We can’t thank you enough.” Submitted by proud owner, Kathi. Carefree’s Canadian Sunset

“I wanted to send you a picture of Alyssa, Ben and “the king”, OOPS, I mean Ernie. I just love this picture. He is sitting so stately. People say “How did you get him to sit up so straight up?” We just say that is how he always sits. He loved having his picture taken. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since we got Ernie. He is such a big part of our family. He is just a joy.. We can’t thank you enough. Our choice was perfect!!!!” Submitted by owner – Judy.
“Nike has always been an absolute chow hound. He was repeatedly eating loaves of bread however, there were never any signs of him getting into the drawers. The only telltale signs were empty bread wrappers on the floor. Puzzled as to how Nike could be accomplishing this, his owners decided to spy one day. They hid on the staircase and let Nike think they had left. Soon, Nike made his way into the kitchen and pulled open the bread drawer with his paws and grabbed the loaf of bread. Caught red handed, his owners yelled at the top of their lungs, “NIKE!” He smugly dropped the loaf of bread back in the drawer, shut it with his nose and walked away as if to say, “What?…. I didn’t do anything!”
