Below are pictures and updates from London's new family in Mendon, VT. Click here to see pictures of London during her first 8 weeks at Deepwood Acres. Pictured below at 10 years old.     Hi Sandy, I hope this email finds you well!  It has been a while since I have been in touch.  London continues to be the light of our lives as she turns into an older lady.  I have attached some photos of her so you can see what a mature, beautiful lady she has become.  London turned 11 this New Year's Eve and while at times she acts like a puppy still and loves to play, she is slowing down on us.  Given this, I can not bare to not have a dog in our family and would very much like to be considered for a puppy this coming spring if possible.  I would very much like a fawn male or female that looks as beautiful as London.  We like the box head look (We love London's face) and of course the sweet temperament that allows me to continue our Therapy Dog work.  London and I are still a working team but less often as she seems to tire more quickly.  That said, she still loves going to school with me and listen to children read. Much appreciated, Erica

Hi Sandy! Merry Christmas and soon to be a Happy New Year!  I wanted to share pictures of London with you and send you an update on our girl.  She is going to be 8 years old soon and still such a love and a valued member of our family and my school community. I have been looking at your website a lot lately and am thinking seriously about adding a male fawn puppy to our family.  I love the look of Boss and Bailey and wondered if you were planning on a litter with the two of them in the next year or so?  I also really need the temperament of our next puppy to be like London's because I want our next dog to get certified as a therapy dog like London is.  She still loves coming to school with me, but as she gets older I am thinking I will need time to train another puppy so he can come to school with me when and if she does not want to do that work anymore.  I am also hoping London will teach our new puppy the ways of the house. :-)  The children and students adore London and to see how much she helps so many children in need and my students with special needs is incredible!  I must keep this kind of supports for my students at school.  So, as you can imagine my next dog's temperament matters a lot to me in order to continue to do this work. Enjoy the pictures! All the Best, Erica

Hi Sandy,

Hope you are well.  Just wanted to send along some up dated photos of our sweet girl, London.  London is doing well and will continue to come to school and listen to children read again this year.  She is nearly 7 now!!  I can't believe how the time has flown by.  I'm starting to think about the timing for a puppy and wondered what the wait list is like these days.  I'm thinking more about a puppy in the next few years, so not too soon.  I'm hoping London could be a good role model for when we are ready for another love in our family.

Wishing you the best,

Erica

Hi Sandy,

London is amazing as always; she is nearly 6 years old in the pictures attached.  She continues to come to my elementary school each week and listens to children read.  She is the delight of many of the children at my school and certainly a delight for us at home.  We adore her.

This past year she tore her ACL playing too hard in the snow, but she still does not like to slow down.  With the exception of her knee still recovering she is doing amazing!

Thanks for such an amazing girl.

Happy holidays,
Erica

Hi Sandy!

I just wanted to share some pictures of London with her niece Taya.  Taya's mom is Natchez and her dad is Hunter which is Diesel's son.  My sister was able to get her from Diane and of course London was a most accepting Aunt.  They are just too cute together.  I thought you would enjoy the pictures.

Hope you are well!

Hi Sandy,

I hope this email finds you well.  It has been almost a year since I have given you a London update.  She is doing amazing!  She continues to come to school with me each week and the children just love her.  She is like a movie star at school. At home, she is our love and we enjoy her in our family.  My children are jealous that I can take her to school with me and they can't. :-)  I have attached pictures of her for you to see what a beautiful girl she is.  Where ever we take her she stops people in their tracks.  They are always saying how regal and beautiful she is, and of course I would have to agree.  Enjoy the pics!

Take care,
Erica

Hi Sandy,

A quick update- London is doing great!  She still comes to school with me each week.  She listens to children read and is an incentive in children's behavior plans.  London walks in a room with an upset child and they immediately relax, snuggle up with her, and tell us what's upsetting them.  She definitely earns a living and helps many children.  We love her dearly!

Hope you and your family are well.

All the best,
Erica

Hi Sandy,

Here are some pictures I took of London today.  London and I passed our Therapy dog test on Saturday.  We will soon be members of Therapy Dogs of Vermont.  She is such a wonderful member of our family.  Where ever we take London she turns head.  She is beautiful, sweet, and extremely well mannered.

I hope all is well with you and your family.

Sincerely,
Erica

Hi Sandy,

Happy New Year!  Here are some updated pictures of London on her 1st Birthday!  She continues to be an amazing dog.  We are still in dog class and working towards our Therapy Dog status.  I bring London to school with me occasionally so she can practice her skills.  She does great at school and the children love her.

Enjoy the pictures.

Hi Sandy,

I brought London to school with me today to read to a Henry and Mudge book to the children in Kindergarten.  The children loved her.  She was a very well behaved young lady.  I am continuously impressed with her calm, sweet manner.  One of the teachers said when she looks at London she looks like she has a sweet soul.

We are still going to obedience school.  She is doing well.  There is another mastiff in our class that is afraid of everything.  She is beautiful too, but very skiddish, which is why they are in class.  I don't know how you breed such perfect dogs, but whatever you are doing please keep doing it.  You are giving American Mastiffs a wonderful reputation.

Please enjoy the photos.

Hi Sandy,

My son had a birthday party and London was amazing with all of the children around.  I have attached a few pictures of London at 15 weeks.  My favorite is London laying amongst all of the children's shoes at my son's birthday party.  Talk about restraint!  She didn't even chew one shoe. :-)

Hope you are well,
Erica

Hi Sandy,

Today is London's 11 week birthday.  Here are some pictures of her with our 11 year old Rottweiler, Dakota.  I couldn't resist sending you these pictures.  Enjoy!

Hi Sandy,

I just wanted to let you know London is doing great.  We could not love her more.  She is so sweet and such a snuggle bug!  She just loves to snuggle and loves to curl up on her dog bed.  We took her to see our vet and of course she was a big hit.  Everyone loved her.  She is healthy and weighs in at 20.6 lbs at 9 weeks.  Here are a few pictures of London at 8 1/2 weeks.  I will send you more as she continues to grow.

Hope you are well,
Erica
