Toli trying out Santa's gift!

Just had to share this photo of Dazzle's girl Toli! Her mom & dad own a helicopter company in British Columbia, and the pedal airplane is a XMAS gift for one of their associate's 2 year old daughter who will be arriving this weekend from Russia!

Schumann is quite a guy!

Toxic foods & the Holidays

There are certain foods Cotons should not eat. This is especially important to remember at this time of year with Halloween, Thanksgiving, & XMAS arriving sooner than we think!

Chewing gum is often given out on "trick or treat" night. Make sure you keep gum and candy (and ALL chocolate!) out of your dog's reach. What foods are toxic to dogs? Refer to the link below. Maybe you even want to print it and put it on your refrigerator so everyone in your family will know.

One specific food that people don't seem to think about until they have a problem is chewing gum. Some types of chewing gum can be toxic to the Coton. It is actually the sweetener in some chewing gum products that can be toxic. The toxic ingredient is called Xylitol. Adverse symptoms can develop quickly. So yes, something as simple as your dog eating a piece of your gum or a piece of hard candy can create serious problems.

Charlie will be living in Seoul, South Korea! His new breeder family already includes two beautiful Coton girls from France - one from Cartoonland, and one from Les Fleurs d'Aloes. I'm sure Charlie feels like he has gone to heaven!

Hooray for the girls!
