Mariann writes on Sat, 6 Aug 2005 - "We had such a good time at graduation.
Chardonnay was such a lady - - - - - except when she jumped all over me
with paws on my shoulders. That was a shock. Her person is very nice and
upbeat. His wife was there too. They will all be living in Colorado Springs,
CO. Now I have to find some half way decent pictures. Well - a friend
had my camera and this is as good as they get. That one (163) is of Chardonnay
and Opera. Aren't they good puppies?"
Mariann writes on 30 Jun 2005 - This little gal has been in phase 10 for a long time and hasn't been bounced back at all. We are all so proud. We got this message from our leader, "Chardonnay was the demo dog at the last graduation."
Mariann writes on Thu, 28 Apr 2005 - Chardonnay is now in phase 9. What a smart puppy. She is smart and was (is?) the most sweetest dog I have ever known.
Mariann writes on Sun, 03 April 2005 - "Chardonnay is in phase 8. What a good girl."
Mariann writes on Fri, 11 Feb 2005 - "Chardonnay is in phase 4 now. No, the little stinker doesn't write. I guess she is just way too busy on her new adventure with all of her new friends."
Mariann writes on Thu, 23 Dec 2004 - "Chardonnay was recalled and went back on the puppy van on December 1st to Boring, OR. I just got news tonight that she is in phase 3. (Dec. 23, 04) What a smart puppy!!! And I am assuming that she was spayed somewhere in that three weeks also. She has such a loving sweet disposition. Someone will be extremely lucky to get her. I have my application in for another puppy, (my 6th). I was told the next pups wouldn't be ready until Feb. I would love one of Alda's pups. Chardonnay was so sweet and loving. But, I don't think we have anything to say about what pup we get. Maybe you do. I'll bet you are lonesome without Alda. I know EXACTLY how you feel."
Her raiser states, "Chardonnay is a very good puppy and tries hard
to do the right thing and yet she still vibrates with personality. What
a sweety."
