Kyle & Marlin had the chance to be interviewed & filmed for a Purina Beggin Strips promotion. I am pleased to say they were chosen as one of the feature dogs on the Beggin Strip website!

Kyle sent me a great clip of Marlin swimming. This was taken at his family’s farm where the spring water there is apparently quite cold! But, that doesn’t deter Marlin one bit. Here are Kyle’s comments:

Pleasant news came today when we received the results of Zeppe’s Optigen testing for CEA. She has tested “Normal”, or Clear.

Angel, aka Caliber’s Angioletto, flew into Toronto, Canada today to live with her new family, Frank Patten and Jennifer Brown. Frank and Jennifer are no strangers to Tollers.
