Jeremy and I would like to thank you again for getting such great shots of Sagira as she earned her first ever agility title. We have been showing everyone the great work you did. Thank you for the wallet prints as well. Hope to see you again at local events. From Christina
Virgil does an awesome job at catching personality and the "real" dog in his photos. You do an awesome job of getting them together for us "not so patient" clients. From Laura
We have the most amazing pics of Beau and Trace on a CD you sent to us. The pic is perfect of Beau looking back at Virgil while on the table... Virgil takes the best pics. Trials are expensive enough...but love the memories of them when Virgil captures the best of them... Beau didn't even Q when he took such a precious photo... Look forward to seeing you at trials!!! From Sayre
The composite looks lovely! It’s just what I had in mind. Thank you. P.S. You’re tops when it comes to portraits and customer service! From Laura
Thank you so much, Rebecca & Virgil! What a great service you provide! Sending the wallets as thank you gifts & the digital images were a welcome surprise! I will buy photos from you at every trial where you are photographing. From Tricia

Thanks so much! I just got back from the mailbox and was disappointed to not see my CD yet and then here they are on my computer! They look great and I will be sending them out to all my friends right away. I hope you are at another trial we are showing at in the future, I’ll start saving my money. <g> From Cindy
I found your show schedule online this morning, and I was thrilled to see that you're going to be at so many of the North Olmsted trials in 2010. I go to almost all of those shows, and I love your photos!! Virgil has such a good eye for just the right angle for action shots. :) From Lynn
I've gotten so many wonderful compliments on Max's Christmas pictures. I did a collage of them and framed it for my aunt (who's in a nursing home) and she just adores it. From Gay

Got the pictures and wanted to THANK YOU for the bonus wallets!!! That was sooooo nice of you and I just LOVE that picture you got of Oreo! He's a rescue and I plan to send 2 of the wallets to the ladies who rescued him from the kill shelter. I think they'll really get a kick out of them. :) Thanks again! From Christina
Thanks so much for the quick service AND the extra wallet prints. Very kind of you. Sorry to be so slow in thanking, as I’ve been trying to rush out stuff for the dog clubs then ran in to email problems for over a day. Thanks again for the service, & just for being there to photograph the little darlings. From Lucy

Virgil’s Story about Our Boy Logan
From an email that Virgil just sent to one of our clients
I have something very happy to report re our dog, Logan, and his feed habits. He’s always been rather serious about his food and has always eaten right to the bottom of the bowl in one sitting. With the old food, he dived in as if starving. Now, on Wednesday, after about 10 weeks on the Life’s Abundance, Logan failed to finish his breakfast. He returned to his bowl later in the afternoon and ate the last kibbles only a couple hours before dinner. It brought me to tears. Logan is finally fully nourished! His body no longer cries out in vain for nutrients. He can relax and enjoy his feed at leisure. Our other two greyhounds are casual feeders and Logan may now be joining them. I am absolutely delighted at this turn of events.

Cat has stopped “urking” since the switch to Trilogy food
Gotta let you know! FooFur is now close to one week on the new cat food, and he is not urking at all like he had been! I think he's also happier after he eats... just something in the way he behaves, searches me out to snuggle up for a bit. I'll introduce the food to Ebony beginning this coming weekend. From Karyl.
No more “I’m hungry” dance
Your comment when we first started with the Trilogy dog food about it being more filling and the dogs would eat less was what I first noticed when we [temporarily] went back to the Purina One. The dogs were starting to do their "I'm hungry" dance about an hour before it was dinnertime. With the Trilogy they were chilled out and I was the one announcing it was time to eat. Noticeable difference. From Lauren.
Flea Free saves the day!
Just a note to say that I love the Flea Free Natural Product!
With 2 dogs who weigh 26 lbs and 42 lbs and a 14 year old cat, it worked beautifully this season. As soon as I put it in the water bowl, they went right to work drinking and lapping up the water. They love it!
I can say that I will never put poison on my animals again and am so sorry I didn't hear about this product before now.
Thanks, Rebecca, for introducing me to Flea Free. It was a life saver! From Nancy.
Lab puppies thrive when breeder weans them right onto Life’s Abundance
The puppies are doing great, growing and 10 pounds now. They love the food and definitely don't eat as much compared to their previous food and the stools look great also. The other food seemed to make the stools look "gooey," extremely dark, and too heavy for their tummies, even though it was moistened. They appear to have a lot of energy and are very happy with the food change for sure - a difference I noticed. From Nita, professional breeder.
Cats know good food when they taste it (and dogs, too)!
Okay. Have you been talking to my cats? They are fishing Trilogy food out of the mix and eating it, leaving the Hill's Science Diet on the floor. Hmmmm. Too bad I mixed them together! What a mess they're making. They are true 4-legged testimonials for your cat food. My fussy girl girl, Jessie [a greyhound], is loving her mealtimes now and I can't wait for the Purina One to run out. I mixed it, too. From Lauren.
One food for five dogs—hurray!
The surprising thing to me is that our little Boo-Boo who has SO much trouble with digesting his food has been able to eat Life’s Abundance! The first two years I had him, he was on the ID dog food from the vet, and even this caused some problems. When I went to a holistic vet, she worked with herbs and we were able to get him on Wellness, which he has been eating for the past years. What a job, feeding different dog food to all the dogs! Now I will not have an issue, one dog food for five of the dogs, more room in my pantry! From Julie
Dogs like it, and the prices are reasonable!
The doggies sure liked it when I gave it to them out of my hand [Life’s Abundance dry dog food]. I also ordered some of the canned food—my older guy likes something extra. The prices are very reasonable—compared to Taste of the Wild and Wellness Core which is what I've been using. So thanks again and I will pass the word around about the food. From Sue
Recent Changes We’ve Seen in Our Own Dogs and Cat
In April, Virgil and I changed what we feed our dogs and cat. We’ve also added supplements, and we’ve changed our dogs to high-quality treats and safe pork-hide chews (goodbye, Milk Bones and rawhide!). Since then, we’ve seen some fascinating changes in our animals:
Before: Our cat Lucy was always a pest about food. She would eat and then be in our faces twenty minutes later for more food. Even when she had food in her bowl, she would pester us for more food. And she has been overweight for years.
Now: Since we changed her food, we’ve noticed that she’s bothering us less and interacting with us more. She is voluntarily eating less and is obviously more satisfied with her food. We believe it’s because she’s finally well-nourished. All the years she ate Iams food, she was apparently hungry all the time, even after just eating. So now we have a cat, not a food-demanding machine. We’re confident that she’ll slowly lose weight.
Before: Our dogs Logan and Zelda were frantic at mealtime. They danced and barked and then plunged headlong into their bowls of food. We thought it meant that they loved their food. Also, we saw some food aggression in Zelda.
Now: Since we switched their food, their behavior has changed. They’re still interested in food, but they eat much more calmly. And the food aggression has completely vanished! They are voluntarily eating less, looking healthy, and acting much more settled about meals.
Before: Our Logan, a 5-year-old greyhound who had broken his leg and had two surgeries, was yelping and limping a lot in the early spring. He became lethargic and stopped running and playing. We did a short course of an anti-inflammatory and had him checked by the surgeon. She reported that there’s nothing to address, just wear-and-tear from the old injury and surgeries.
Now: We’ve added a supplement that promotes joint health. Since then, Logan has completely stopped yelping and limps only rarely. And he’s playing and running again! The supplement seems to keep him from pain and make exercise fun for him. It’s working so well that we’ve started Glory and even 2-year-old greyhound Zelda on it.
Before: Glory, our a 11-year-old greyhound, has been underweight for years, and her coat has been thin and patchy. She has frequently skipped several meals in a row, worrying us a lot.
Now: With the new food, Glory’s coat has become positively furry in just about six weeks. And it has a deeper color. Also, she hasn’t skipped a single whole meal. Best of all, she’s gained about two pounds since her last vet visit!
Before: We believed that commercial pet foods and treats were, in fact, nutritious and trustworthy. We knew nothing about how to interpret the ingredients list or the guaranteed analysis on the bag.
Now: We know that almost every commercial brand contains (a) ingredients that are highly indigestible and totally non-nutritious and/or (b) ingredients that are dangerous, disgusting, and named in ways that fool most people who buy the products. We know that all forms of corn, wheat, and soy are useless at best. Ingredients such as “meat and bone meal,” “meat by-products,” “beef tallow,” and more are horrific in what they contain. And the “guaranteed analysis” is anything but guaranteed to be what it says!
If you’d like to know about what we’re now feeding, or you’d like help interpreting what’s in your dog’s or cat’s food, please click here, or email Rebecca or Virgil.
We’d be glad to talk with you about these products. This is important!
