Hi Lesley,

Jett is doing wonderfully! He is such a good puppy and so well mannered. He definately knows his name now, loves to snooze in his crate when he's really tired during the day, and when he goes into his crate at night there's not one peep out of him until early morning. Bailey and Jett both love the companionship they share. We play alot of ball outside, and go for walks. I really do believe there is that difference of a happy content puppy when they come from such a great family background! Thankyou for giving Jett that beginning to become the best he can be. We have just got a digital camera, so we are having alot of fun taking shots of the dogs together and seperately- we will have to send you some! Jett is growing so much, and starting to lose the fluffy part of his coat, and becoming more sleak, though his head is still fluffy.

We feel very fortunate to have found you, as breeders, to have a healthy happy labrador!

Talk to you soon,
Marilyn

"Rayneriver's Nathanael Malachi" (Nate)

May 15, 2002

"Lesley was compassionate, understanding and very considerate of our recent loss of "Sneakers'", our beloved yellow Labrador of 12 years. She made us feel that she knew we would be good owners: loving, caring and very responsible owners of such a great dog that would be given nothing but the best possible care---medically and emotionally---with lots of love."

"…..She has provided valuable advice and a non-reproach judgment of obtaining a dog."

"…..Lesley returned all phone calls promptly and is always interested with concern to our many questions."

"…..The mother of Nate has such a gentle disposition and excellent temperament---a "very well" looked after Labrador."

"…..Clearly Lesley & Kevin's initial handling of our puppy from birth has had a big imprint on Nate. It is very apparent that Lesley showed lots of affection and time, for Nate shows an increased awareness and easy interaction with all people."

"…..Nate is a very confident dog. He appears to be strutting; full of life and confidence with tail and ears erect. It is quite an expression of his personality. This has made for an easy transition from his mother and littermates to our home. Nate is extremely affectionate and relates well to people who visit us…..Everyone who meets Nate is just delighted by him and how well-adjusted he is."

"…..He makes us smile and laugh. We adore Nate and he is very much loved. We enjoy spoiling him a bit because he is so sweet and special. He fills our hearts with joy and great comfort. We are so attached to him. Nate loves kisses on his head and we love his kisses."

"Most important: Thank you to Lesley for being so compassionate and understanding. Thank you for allowing us to have Nate. We promise he has a good, loving and caring home. "Guardian Angel", that is our Nate."

Feb. 9/03

Dear Lesley & Kevin,

Simply don't have the words to express our gratitude and deepest feelings for allowing us the opportunity to be "foster guardians" to Rowdy.

From the moment we laid eyes on him, we fell in love instantly - perhaps he is living proof and confirmation that our "dream Lab" really does exist! We thank both God and yourselves for this strong connection and inner peace.

We look forward to the future with Rayneriver Labs; respecting, honoring and promoting all your hard work and efforts, but most of all, sharing our life and love with Rowdy.

Lesley, you are not only a true friend, but also my mentor…..your knowledge is invaluable.
Our prayers have been answered!

God Bless you and thank you,

All Our Love,
Stephanie & Harry,
Jordan, Nathan & Serina
