"Hi, our names are Tck's Onward Christian Soldier and Tck's Amazing Grace and we made our long car trip from Trout Creek Kennels to our new home in Virginia the first week of June. We live with our new human family in a nice house in the country with plenty of room to run. We like to romp and play with our new doggie friends, Halle and Gabriel, two Chinese Cresteds that lived here first. We just love to pull them around by their fuzzy crests or chase after their fuzzy wiggly tails. This exercise I'm sure will keep us in good physical shape, but we're not too sure our doggie friends find our play too amusing. We love our human friends too and the best thing to do with them is to run up to their shoulders, curl up together and go to sleep. We love taking naps with our new daddy."

"It seems our new mom has some kind of plans for us as she keeps putting these horrible ropes around our neck and then tries to make us walk outside with them on us. We don't understand or like this too much right now, but maybe it will get easier. She also makes us stand high up on this big table and makes us stand real still and keeps saying "stand pretty" or "that's my little show dog". Guess we'll learn what this means when we get a little older but right now we would rather just run around and play with our toys and friends."
