A Note From My CCI Puppy, Michael III

(Michael, my current CCI puppy, is in the most excellent hands of long-time CCI puppy raisers and friends, Marty and Dave Carvour. I can't thank them enough for taking care of my CCI pups when I am out of the country! It's so comforting to not worry about them and know I will return home to find them in as good, if not better shape than when I left! I got this e-mail from Michael today... (please excuse his spelling and grammar - he's not quite 9 months old :-)
