Hi Peggy, I wanted to tell you a little story about Hercules. My mom died on June 20, 2009 and needless to say I was and still am very sad. Hercules is always nibbling on the kids toes and they laugh and laugh but he never ever nibbled on my feet before even when I was bare footed. Well one evening when my family was out and I was sitting in my chair feeling very sad and crying a little Hercules came up and and started nibbling on my feet and I could not help but giggle because it tickles so much he then jumped up on my lap and give my kisses again causing me to laugh. When he stop kissing me he laid down on my lap and stayed there all night. He has never nibbled on my feet since that night and I have never felt so low as that night. That little dog was not going to let me fell bad or be alone that night it was truly amazing. Hercules is 2 years old now and is still and always will be a little high strung but that is just fine, he really adds a spark to our family and he also the nicest and most lovable dog (besides Zeus) that I ever meet, he is great with babies, kids, older people just everyone. He is the second best thing my family ever did (besides Zeus). He is so pretty and his color is so cool that we can't walk anywhere without being stopped and asked questions about him and his breed and if they can pet him. Peggy I always give your web site out and tell them about all your breeds and what a great experience I had buying Hercules from you. He also waves hi and goodbye and it makes people laugh and just feel good. His tail never stops wagging unless he is napping or sleeping, he is so precious to us and Zeus even loves him now it took a while but they pretty much are a team. I just wanted to share my story with you and attach some new pictures of our little guy in his new Von Pooch Bed I hope all is well on your side a the world. Thanks again for having such great dogs.
