Tigress is pictured September 29, 2005, getting her vet exam and health certificate for travel to her new home with Dee in Illinois. Her friends, Bubba (Great Pyrenees) and Cisne (Borzoi) were also getting their vet exams and health certificates for travel. Bubba goes to Gwyn in Kentucky where he will have his own herd of goats to guard. Cisne, now a retired IABCA champion, lives with Shefaro's Tosca in Connecticut where she graces the couch, sleep in bed, walk in the park, and traves with Patricia, Tosca and Tova.
Tigress left today (Oct. 1, 2005) Dee called and all is well in Illinois. Tigress already tried to eat from the dessert plate on the coffee table.

Sherry,
Here's a quick picture of Tigress in her new home. She's doing great! Housetraining is going well. She didn't even wake me up last night to go out. She's had a little difficulty with the steps but is now getting up and down even the big flight fairly well. Yesterday we walked a couple of miles. She had a ball catching grasshoppers. The girls love her and she's fitting right in. We just need to convince her that the cats live here and are not for her to chase. I'm sure that will come soon. We start puppy class tomorrow evening. Everyone at the vet's office is excited to meet her. I'll send more pictures soon.
Dee

Sherry,
Just a note to let you know that we totally love Tigress. What a honey!!! I am sold on Borzois and on Shefaro in particular. She is everything you said and better--beautiful and just as sweet as she can be. She is my shadow. She's rarely more than a few feet from me. She loves to go with me in the car--all I have to do is pick up my car keys and she's at the door ready to go. She's worked out an uneasy truce with the cats. They don't run anymore so they aren't any fun anyway. She had her spay operation last week and did great. Everybody at the vet's office commented on what a lover she is. We had to miss puppy class because of her surgery so we'll start again next week. The first week she was a little intimidated by the other pups. She'd only been here a couple of days and was a little unsure of herself. I'm sure next time she'll enjoy herself and play more.
She's quite the conversation starter as well. Since Carbondale is the home of the Southern Illinois University Salukis, the question I get all the time is "Oh, is it a saluki?" Of course I can tell them no, she's better! We are truly grateful to have her as a part of our family. We'll keep you updated.
Hope all is going well for you. I've been watching the pups grow on the website. They are cuties. Saw Guillermo at the Houston Eukanuba Dog Show on Animal Planet. What a handsome guy! It was great to hear your name as breeder.
Well, I'll sign off for now. Tigress sends kisses to her Mom Sherry and her thanks for giving her such a great start. I'll write again soon.
Dee
Merry Christmas from Tigress!
Happy Birthday Tigress!

Hello from Tigress and I. She is doing great and we are thrilled with her. We celebrated our shared birthday in February. I had a cake, she had a cheese stick--still her favorite treat! She's such a part of the family that it's hard to remember when she wasn't here. She's just as sweet as she can be and of course she's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. This is Tigress at doggy class. We still go to a class that Dr. Creese teaches. It's very informal but she's really learning and loves it. She's definitely teacher's pet!
We walk around the lake at Southern Illinois University almost every day and she loves it--she meets many new people and dogs there. I've lost more than 15 pounds since getting her so not only is she a best friend, she's a great weight loss aide as well. Hope all is going well for you. Kisses from Tigress!
Dee
