Looking for a dog that fits real life, not a fantasy? We head out to Shiloh Farms in Union to meet seven Doodle puppies raised with purpose: crate trained, noise desensitized, travel practiced, and already sleeping through the night. Crystal Bonati opens her “Place of Peace” to walk us through how thoughtful breeding, early socialization, and steady routines shape confident family dogs.

We break down the alphabet soup—F1, F1B, double doodle, multi-gen—so you can understand parentage, likely coat traits, and size expectations. Then we go pup by pup: from Sabo’s striking phantom markings to Burrow’s teddy-bear charm, Mia’s fearless curiosity, Gabby’s gentle calm, Caitlin’s sweet chill, Petey’s cuddly loyalty, and Boomer’s laid-back independence. Crystal explains why she invites families to visit multiple times, bring a worn shirt for scent, and choose the dog whose temperament fits their life. The process turns impulse into insight and helps ensure a bond that lasts.

We also explore real-world needs: how crate training makes workdays manageable, how noise desensitization helps during fireworks and grooming, and why car trips now prevent anxiety later. For empty nesters and first-time owners alike, an older, well-prepped litter can be a gift—less chaos, more connection. Crystal shares how her faith centers the farm’s mission to “train them up” and send them out, plus moving stories of second dogs easing grief and becoming daily companions.

Curious which personality fits your home? Listen, then come meet the pups at Shiloh Farms in Union and see the difference a calm start makes. Call Crystal at 513-885-0656 to schedule a puppy visit!

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
This is the Good Neighbor Podcast.
The point with local businessesthat neighbors come together.
Here's your host, Mike Murphy.

SPEAKER_02 (00:11):
Thank you, Charlie.
Yes, I am Mike Murphy, host ofthe Good Neighbor Podcast.
We talk to local businessowners, residents, anybody that
you need to know, and I'mobviously with somebody that I
think you need to know.
With me today is Crystal Bonattiwith Shiloh Farms.
And what is the rest of thenarrative there with Shiloh

(00:34):
Farms?
Go ahead and tell us, uh,Crystal, uh, what who what's the
name of your farm and what isyour business?

SPEAKER_03 (00:40):
It's Shiloh Farms, Place of Peace.
Okay.
And place of our Shiloh isbiblical.
It stands for Place of Peace.

SPEAKER_01 (00:47):
Okay.
All right.

SPEAKER_03 (00:49):
And we breed doodles.

SPEAKER_02 (00:52):
All right.

SPEAKER_03 (00:53):
So our subtitles kind of like doodle dandy dogs.

SPEAKER_02 (00:55):
Okay.
Yeah.
And that was the part that I waskind of having a hard time with.
You know, I just kept thinkingYankee Doodle Dandy.
But um, okay, and it's it'sgolden doodles, correct?

SPEAKER_03 (01:04):
No, we have double doodles, double doodles, Aussie
doodles, and then multi-gendoodles.

SPEAKER_02 (01:10):
Okay, so right there, you're gonna have to
educate me, and while you'redoing so, you're gonna educate a
lot of people in the community.
What is the difference?

SPEAKER_03 (01:18):
So a double doodle is when you take two doodles,
like lilac.
Her mom was a periodoodle, herdad was a golden doodle.
So that made her a doubledoodle.
All right, and then her puppieswe bred back with.
The first uh letter was withanother uh golden doodle.
Okay, and then her second letterwe bred back with a poodle.

SPEAKER_01 (01:41):
Right.

SPEAKER_03 (01:41):
Um, and then Shiloh is an Aussie doodle, which is an
Australian shepherd and apoodle.
She was the first generation, soshe was an F1.

SPEAKER_02 (01:51):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (01:52):
And then her puppies we bred back with a poodle, so
that makes them an F1B.

SPEAKER_02 (01:58):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (01:59):
So now if I take Shiloh's puppies, if I take one
of them, which I plan on hopingto keep one of the males to
breed back with lilac or lily,and then they'll be multi-gen
because they have differentgenerations of um breeds in
them.

SPEAKER_02 (02:13):
Okay.
So complicated.
Yeah, it sounds like I mean itsounds like it's it's uh there's
a math equation, there's a flowchart, there's um all sorts of
things happening there.
But case in point, somebody whoI told um this morning that I
was coming to visit with you,she used a term that I had never
heard before, told again justnow, and she was saying, F1, F2,

(02:35):
what are they?
And so I'm like, I have no idea.
I said, but I'm going to findout.
So that's why I'm here.
Um I'm here on the farm withyou.
Um, for those of you who umdon't recognize the backdrop
because you're used to seeing mein my basement with all my stuff
behind me.
I still have a lot of stuffbehind me, it's just different
stuff today because we are onthe farm and we're uh sitting in

(02:56):
a kitchen under construction.

SPEAKER_01 (02:57):
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (02:58):
We are um uh within earshot of a bunch of little
puppies and other dogs that rulethe house that uh you may hear
in the background.
But part of what we're going todo today is we're going to
introduce you to the latestlitter of puppies that Crystal
would like to showcase and findhomes for them in the community.

(03:23):
So if you like puppy breath, youlike kisses and hypoallergenic
dogs, correct?

SPEAKER_03 (03:31):
Non-shedding.

SPEAKER_02 (03:32):
Yeah, non-shedding, and so I mean, there's all sorts
of benefits.
So um, some of you out thereknow all about these doodle
dogs, and some of you don't knowa darn thing, and we're all
gonna find some stuff outtogether.
So, with that being said, um,Crystal, how old is this latest
litter of puppies?

(03:52):
And how many do you have?

SPEAKER_03 (03:54):
There are seven.
There's four males and threefemales.
Okay, and they will be 11 weeksold on Monday.
Um, they are already cratetrained, they sleep all night.
Um, they've had their first vetcheck, they have their second
vet check scheduled.
They're trained with vibrationand noise, they go up and down
the steps on their own.

(04:15):
Um, they've even been traveltrained.
We've had them out in thevehicle so they're used to being
in the vehicle.
Okay.
Um, we want the transition to bevery smooth when they go to
their forever homes.

SPEAKER_01 (04:27):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (04:27):
And the reason why we are so compassionate about
this is when we received Lilac,our first double doodle, she was
not trained at all.
She would never go in a crate.
Um, when I groom her, I stillhave to use scissors because she
wasn't comfortable with thevibration.
Noise train is another one thatwe do.
Lucas, my 100-pound farm doggolden doodle.

(04:51):
Um he does not cannot handlefireworks or gunshots.
So these dogs are used to anyloud noises.
Um that's why we are socompassionate about it, because
we we knew the struggles that wewent through, and we don't want
our forever homes to go throughthat.

SPEAKER_02 (05:12):
Every 4th of July, that's all we hear is you know,
people, come on.
Uh, you know, my dogs can'thandle a full week of fireworks,
and um it's not just babies, butit's fur babies too.

SPEAKER_01 (05:23):
But yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 (05:24):
Well, that's good to know.
I mean, you've there's a lotthat goes into it, you've
thought about a lot, which makesyou the expert, which is why I'm
sitting here today.

SPEAKER_03 (05:32):
So I don't know if I'm an expert, I'm learning as I
go, okay, but um we just enjoywhat we do.

SPEAKER_02 (05:39):
Okay, well, that's important too.
All right, so um, if somebody isum thinking, well, geez, I I
might be interested.
Um, do they have to have anysort of specific um knowledge or
training, or do you vet them?
Or like what's that look like?

(06:01):
I mean, can someone just show upat the door, pay you money, and
lead with a puppy?

SPEAKER_03 (06:05):
So, what we encourage and what our vision
was when we started the farm andbreeding is that we want people
to come out and spend time withthe puppies and pick out a
puppy.
Okay, we don't want them to justcome and say, you know, we want
a puppy and you give us one.
We want it to be an experiencewhere this is going to be a
member of their family.
So we want them to come out,spend time.

(06:27):
I've had people that have comeout several times before they
even picked out a puppy and thenum come back as often as you
want.
We have people bring their ownpiece of clothing so that
puppies have their scent, youknow, and they're familiar with
them before they go home.
Um so we don't have anapplication.

(06:48):
We, you know, when we startedlooking for Lucas, who is our
first doodle, um, we didn't livehere on the farm.
We were looking for an Aussiedoodle, and people had these
long applications andrestrictions, you know, for you
to fill out and before theywould even release a dog to you.
We're not like that.

(07:09):
You know, we feel like ifsomeone wants uh an addition to
their family, um, come and spendtime because their personalities
are different.
Every one of them are sodifferent.

SPEAKER_02 (07:20):
So hence having to spend a little bit of time to
kind of understand thedifferences in personality
between the two.
Okay.
Yeah, because you're uh you'recreating um a relationship that
lasts a long, long, long time,many years.
So that makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 (07:37):
I get pictures every year on their birthdays and
holidays, and anytime there's aspecial event, I always have my
previous owner send us pictures.

SPEAKER_02 (07:45):
Okay.
Well, that's kind of cool.
You have um how many how manylitters have you raised and sold
into the community?

SPEAKER_03 (07:55):
Two.

SPEAKER_02 (07:56):
Okay.
So this is third the third?
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (07:59):
But Shiloh's first litter.
It's our first litter of OzzyDoodles.

SPEAKER_02 (08:02):
Okay.
So I know well, there are thereare other questions that I don't
know to ask, and I want to makesure that before we start to
bring the puppies out and putthem on camera, and you know,
um, all the fun that comes withthat.
Um, what type of informationshould people know?

(08:25):
Like what questions am I notasking because I don't know to
ask?
Is there anything that comes tomind?

SPEAKER_03 (08:30):
Just being educated then to know that you know there
are vet visits that they have tohave.
Um, doodles, um they'redifferent than a short haired
dog where you do have to brushthem.

SPEAKER_01 (08:44):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (08:45):
Um they're they're like a child.
You just can't have it and andput it in a corner and let it
go.
You know, you do have to spendtime with it.
These dogs are so trainedalready that it just cracks me
up.
I mean, it's hysterical.
I opened up their crates and thedoors open, and I said, okay,
everybody outside to potty.
And it is hysterical to watchthem go out, you know, to go

(09:07):
potty.

SPEAKER_02 (09:08):
It's like a little army of well-behaved children.

SPEAKER_01 (09:12):
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (09:13):
Um, yeah, um, reminds me of that uh movie.
What's the one?
Um, The Hills Are Alive, TheSounds of Music.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (09:22):
My hills are alive.

SPEAKER_02 (09:25):
Well, the house is alive with the sound of barking
because ever since I walked inthe house, um, they all want to
know who's here, who's here.

SPEAKER_03 (09:33):
So they are very good watchdogs.
My they it's interesting becausetheir sense is so strong that
they know if someone is down atthe bottom of our driveway.

SPEAKER_02 (09:43):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (09:43):
So they're very good watchdogs.

SPEAKER_02 (09:46):
All right, that's good to know.
I mean, so anybody that's umpotentially getting one of your
puppies, they're getting a goodwatchdog.

SPEAKER_03 (09:53):
Good security system.

SPEAKER_02 (09:54):
Okay.
All right.
So one more question.
Um, you know, you've got um anice big house here, you're on a
farm.
Are these um dogs okay being ina residential home in
subdivision?

SPEAKER_03 (10:10):
Yep.
And actually, I'm even preparingthem for that now because I I do
work a couple days outside thehome.

SPEAKER_01 (10:16):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (10:17):
So when they get up in the morning, they're on a
routine.
I mean, they're it's not likethey're running loose the whole
day.
They're um they get up, they gopotty, they play, they eat, they
go back in their kennels.
Okay, and then there's some daysthat they're in their kennels,
you know, four or five hours.
Um and then there's, you know,they go out, they play, and when
you crate train, that's what youneed to do.

(10:38):
They don't need the free range,they need to be trained to where
they stay in their kennel andthey know that when they come
out, they go out and they'refighting.

SPEAKER_02 (10:46):
Okay, all right.
So without further ado, maybe wecan start the parade of puppies.

SPEAKER_01 (10:55):
Okay, I'll go get one.

SPEAKER_02 (10:57):
All right, in no particular order, okay, unless
you want there to be an order.

SPEAKER_03 (11:01):
I'll just go down the line of the three.

SPEAKER_02 (11:03):
Okay.
Okay, so who do we have here?

SPEAKER_03 (11:07):
This is Sabo.

SPEAKER_02 (11:08):
Sabo.
Hi, Sabo.
Hello.
Hi, buddy.

SPEAKER_03 (11:20):
Um mom is 50 pounds, and dad was a five-pound poodle.

SPEAKER_01 (11:25):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (11:26):

probably gonna be at least 50pounds.

SPEAKER_01 (11:32):

SPEAKER_03 (11:33):

SPEAKER_02 (12:04):

And I'm Sabo.
So on that note, I think youshared with me before that um
the the naming methodology isbased on Cincinnati.

SPEAKER_03 (12:15):
Well, sports people in general.

time, you know, if you'remeeting these dogs for the first
time, knowing who's who.

SPEAKER_03 (19:07):
That's why they're all color coded.
Okay, yeah, they are all colorcoded, but I know them apart

Actually, she hits 25.
I'd be surprised.

SPEAKER_02 (19:52):
So she's very, very chill, very chill.

unknown (19:54):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (19:57):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (19:58):
They love to play.
They have lots of toys that theyplay with and buns that they
chew on.

SPEAKER_02 (20:07):
So as as they grow, like a lot of puppies do, do
they sleep less and play more,or like what's the mix?

SPEAKER_03 (20:12):
Actually, they sleep more.

SPEAKER_02 (20:14):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (20:14):
Um, my older dogs, they're they sleep more than the
puppies do.

SPEAKER_01 (20:19):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (20:20):
I think sometimes if I would let them stay up all
day, they would just go, go, go.

SPEAKER_01 (20:24):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (20:24):
But you'd have to have to make them go in the
kennels.
And when they do, I mean they'requiet.
They don't sit there and whine.
And at nighttime, their kennelsget covered up, so they know
when I'm covered, it'snighttime.

SPEAKER_02 (20:35):
Okay, so that's a great point you bring up because
that can be a struggle for a lotof families.
They have to leave the house togo do things.
Um crading them in the evening,hearing yelping, yelping,
barking, barking, all theseparation of it sometimes.
Um, dogs can experience.
Um, that's not the case withthese dogs.

(20:57):
No, no, that alone will willmaybe tip the scale of bringing
to meet these dogs.
Here's the watchdog.

SPEAKER_03 (21:14):
This is Petey.

SPEAKER_02 (21:15):
Hi, Petey.

SPEAKER_03 (21:16):
Petey for Pete Rose.
He's one of the timid ones.
He's one of the more quiet, laidback, snuggly ones.

SPEAKER_02 (21:24):
Hi, Petey.
Do they know their names?

SPEAKER_03 (21:27):
Yeah, they sure do.
And they know what a treat is.

SPEAKER_02 (21:32):
So you don't have to spell the word treat.

SPEAKER_03 (21:34):
No.

SPEAKER_02 (21:39):
Well, hi Petey.
It's nice to meet you.
So what is what is Petey's umpersonality temperament like?

SPEAKER_03 (21:44):
He's very laid back.
He's laid back, he's cuddly.
He's usually like one of thefirst ones to come up.
It's like this whole meat.

SPEAKER_02 (21:51):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (21:52):
He loves to play.
Huh.
I love to play.

SPEAKER_02 (21:56):
Well, they're all cuddly and they're all very
soft.
I mean, I think most most peoplehave, you know, um touched a
goodle and kind of understandthe feeling of the fur.

SPEAKER_03 (22:10):
So I did learn something that if a dog's fur
hair, if it has to be cut, it'shair.
But if it doesn't, then it'sfur.
I didn't know that.
What do you do?
What do you mean bashable?
What do you do?
What do you do?

SPEAKER_02 (22:32):
You don't know me like that, do you?

SPEAKER_03 (22:36):
Mike, we just met.
And he's gonna be small.
He's gonna be maybe 15, maybe15.

SPEAKER_01 (22:52):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (22:53):
But he's pretty much so all black.
He's got some white on the tipof his toe and his little white
goat.

SPEAKER_02 (22:59):
So how many males do you have versus females?

SPEAKER_03 (23:01):
Four males and three females.
Okay, I've got one more male tobring in.

SPEAKER_02 (23:05):
Okay.
Yeah, I was thinking I'm losingtrack of how many we've seen
already.
So we've we've got one more.

SPEAKER_03 (23:12):
One more.
We got boomer.
We got boomer.

SPEAKER_02 (23:15):
All right, boomer size is coming.

SPEAKER_03 (23:17):
Yep.
Got the big boy.
He's tiny.

SPEAKER_02 (23:21):
Nice to meet you, Petey.

SPEAKER_03 (23:22):
This is Boomer.

SPEAKER_02 (23:23):
Hey Boomer.
Nice to meet you, buddy.

SPEAKER_03 (23:28):
He's my tiny little peanut.
I love his markings.
He's another one.
He doesn't have the white likeSabo does.
He has a little flippy ears likehis mama does.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
So temperament on this one.

SPEAKER_03 (23:46):
He's again one of the laid-back ones.
Um, but it's funny, he's the onethat doesn't, he's okay if he's
by himself and he's okay to playwith the others.

SPEAKER_02 (23:58):
People see your pretty eyes.
I'm gonna find you a home,Homer.

SPEAKER_03 (24:07):
He's got his mother's markings.
Yeah.
He has a lot of sabo's markings.
I mean Shio's markings.
Him and Sabo both.
Sabo's got more white.
Little buddy.
He's a cuddler.
Usually the first one to go tobed.

SPEAKER_02 (24:28):
Yeah, you look like one of the one of your first
siblings that came out just afew minutes ago that I met.
So um total number that you hadin the litter, was it seven or
was it more?
Was it nine or those?

SPEAKER_03 (24:42):
It was seven.

SPEAKER_02 (24:43):
It was seven.
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (24:44):
She had seven, and they all all of them were good.

SPEAKER_02 (24:48):
Well, good.
Well, good.
So um we want people to come outand play with them, meet them.

SPEAKER_03 (24:56):
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (24:57):
Um fall in love with them.
Yeah.
Get the puppy kisses, yeah.
Smell the puppy breath and allthat.
And yeah, they're they're justso easy going.
Now, um I'll let you, I'll letyou put him away, and then we'll
just sort of wrap up and justkind of talk a little bit to the

(25:18):
community, um, and uh talk aboutuh the process of coming out to
see you and where you'relocated, and which is very easy
by the way.
She's here in Union.
So it's um it's not a longdrive, it's it's very
convenient.

unknown (25:33):
Yep.

SPEAKER_03 (25:33):
All right, little Betty.

SPEAKER_02 (25:38):
Okay, Crystal.
So now that you're uh all wornout from uh hauling puppies in
and out of the room, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (25:45):
You're you're good exercise.

SPEAKER_02 (25:47):
You're you're a very good mom, by the way.
I've noticed that uh you youtake good care of your little
baby.

SPEAKER_03 (25:51):
I have five children of my own.
Okay, so you guys kind of allleft the nest, so I'm filling it
with the with the dog.

SPEAKER_02 (25:57):
You're well practiced.

SPEAKER_03 (25:58):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (25:59):
So um now that people have gotten to see um the
uh puppies that uh are availableto the community.
One thing that um again, theperson I talked to this morning
that was asking me about F1, F2,and all that stuff that I didn't
understand.
Um she was saying, wow, um thisis a great time to introduce um

(26:22):
these puppies to the communitybecause Christmas is coming up.
So um that's something that Ihadn't really considered, but so
um do you find that that's kindof um uh thing giving, you know,
like uh maybe it's Christmas orany other like holiday.
Is there a spike in um peopleadopting puppies um for those

(26:46):
occasions, or is it just sort ofacross the board all year round
whenever the litters areavailable?

SPEAKER_03 (26:52):
Um I think the more um intentional breeders plan it
like that.
Um, I know my first two littershappened to be in the
springtime, so it worked towhere you know kids were out of
school and um they were home.
Um I remember when I got myfirst puppy, I wanted one um for

(27:13):
a while, and I got mine onChristmas.

SPEAKER_01 (27:16):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (27:17):
So this was my first litter to have later.
And granted, yes, these puppiesare a little bit older, but kind
of an advantage because they areso well trained now, it's gonna
be less of a transition for fortheir new homes.

SPEAKER_02 (27:30):
Yeah.
So that's a big advantage.

SPEAKER_03 (27:32):
So when I did the hard work for them, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (27:36):
So, and um that's that's another, you know, thing
that um when when I talk to myfriends about, um, especially, I
mean, the age I'm at, we're alot of empty nesters, okay.
And that's a lot of my friends.
And so either they've alreadygot dogs or they're thinking
about you know, bringing a puppyinto the house.
And they say, Well, I just don'tknow if I want all the work.

(27:58):
Um, and um, I think what they'retalking about is the the
training, and like we mentionedbefore, um having to like kennel
train them so that like to tosleep by themselves at night
without crying, crying, cryingand disrupting the house.
Um, or I mean all the thingsthat can can happen with a

(28:19):
puppy, you make a good point.
You have done a lot of the workfor the people, the the future
families um that you know areyet unknown, which brings up
another point.
When this litter is gone, youknow, you've you've spent a good
amount of time with these uhlittle boys and girls.

(28:40):
Will you be sad?
Um, how does that uh affect you?

SPEAKER_03 (28:45):
So I've not let myself and I've always prepared
myself, and even with the firsttwo litters, um I didn't have
any problem with them.
Um, it's interesting living onthe farm, farm life is very,
very different.
I remember my first batch ofmeat chickens that I raised.
Um, I cried the first time wetook them to the butcher.

SPEAKER_01 (29:06):
Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03 (29:07):
But after that, I was fine.
I mean, I realized that you knowthey had their purpose and
that's what it was, and um, Iwas fine with the rest of them.
Plus, they're they're they'redirty birds.
Okay, but I'm not allowed myselfto get to where um I'm I'm sad
if they go.
I'm I'm happy when I see thefamilies and the pictures that I

(29:28):
get, you know, back and see howhappy the the dogs are and the
families are.
And like I said, I get to seeseveral of them now.
They keep sending me pictures.

SPEAKER_02 (29:37):
Um so no, I'm I'm that's my that's my mission in
life is to provide thesehealthy, happy puppies for so if
you're watching this podcast orlistening to the audio, uh don't
feel sad for Crystal that you'recoming and taking her children
from her.
Um, this was all um done onpurpose, it's intentional and

(30:00):
She's uh helping to share lovein the community, and you can be
a part of that love.
So if uh if you want to knowmore, um, Crystal, what's your
phone number?
And then uh we'll also let themknow what your address is if if
you'd care to share that aswell.

unknown (30:15):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (30:16):
One thing I wanted to share with you when you were
talking about the puppies andbeing sad in the Bible, because
Shiloh stands for place ofpeace.
So everything that I try to dois very intentionally
biblically.
And with my five children, I tryto raise them in the way that
the Bible says, train them up inthe way that they should go,

(30:36):
right out that door to besuccessful, you know, adults.
And I'm very blessed that I havefive children that are very
independent.

SPEAKER_01 (30:44):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (30:44):
So I think that way with the puppies too.
I'm training them up in the waythat they should go to their
forever homes.

SPEAKER_02 (30:51):
Okay.
So well, that's a niceperspective.
But uh, but I'm I'm willing tobet that you did not uh name
your your children after sportsheroes.

SPEAKER_03 (31:00):
Nope, they're all named after family members.

SPEAKER_02 (31:04):
That's the way it usually works.

SPEAKER_03 (31:05):
Yes.
But um, my my mobile number is513-885-0656.

SPEAKER_03 (32:53):

a dog, and I have found thatit's easier when you have two or
more.

SPEAKER_01 (33:00):
Okay.

SPEAKER_03 (33:01):
Um, and then I had one family that they had an
older dog that they knew wasgetting ready to pass away.
And so they received one fromthe last litter, and their dog
passed away shortly after that.
And she is so thankful that shehad the new puppy to, you know,
to be there, not to take theplace, but to kind of ease the

(33:23):
pain.
Yeah, um, I had another, it wasactually a patient of our
office.
She had lost her um lab.
She had a black lab, and she umgot Levi from the last litter,
and Levi looks almost identicalto the lab that she lost.

SPEAKER_01 (33:41):

SPEAKER_03 (33:42):
And she treats that, and that puppy goes everywhere
with her.

SPEAKER_02 (33:45):
All right.

SPEAKER_03 (33:46):
So they're they're important, they're special.

SPEAKER_02 (33:48):

you know, and they are familymembers, and so um, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (33:58):
I have one that they take it to church.
