Like Matt and Emma, our guests from Dec. 20, 2008. After meeting our 'KIDS'... they fell in Love with Borzoi! When leaving on Sunday, we told them about a friend of ours, a local Borzoi breeder in Eustis: Do to personal reasons, he was significantly reducing the number of Borzoi he would be able to take care of... They made arrangements to 'Stop by' on their way home to see his 'Zoi'... the Rest is History!!

'First Bath' --------- " HERON CAY " --------- 'Happy Girl'
Here is Matt's eMail:
We wanted
to thank you for the lovely visit last weekend. What a beautiful home you have
and you know already how we feel about the animals.
THANK YOU!! Matt & Emma... for giving another Wonderful Borzoi and HAPPY, LOVING HOME!!
