"Thanks for reaching out.  We love our puppies!  They are so fun and sweet.  They are both larger than Lilly.  I don’t remember the soccer names but I think the second puppy we picked up had a green collar.  His color is a little lighter.  He’s a tall, long, lean dog that weighs 68lbs.  His name is Gnar.  (after a video game redfox) He’s bigger than the first pup we picked up, which had an orange collar and your son told us was the last one born.  His name is Rex.  His color is a dark red and he has a more muscular build. I think he looks more like Lilly.  He weighs 64 lbs and he’s not as tall as Gnar.  They both like to run, play ball, cuddle and be right next to us at all times.  Rex is more outgoing around others and Gnar is a bit timid.  They both get their whole snouts wet when they get a drink.  So they drip water all over.  I don’t know if that’s a poodle trait or not. They both like the water.  We don’t have a pool but they like the hose and sprinkler water.  They also have to play in every puddle when we are out.  I’m having fun grooming them but I’m not that great at it yet.  My daughter helped me about 6 or 8 weeks ago to give Rex a mullet and Gnar a mohawk.  Now Gnar has a full shave.  We decided after the shave, we like them better with longer hair.  We free feed them dry dog food and they do great balancing their own diet.  They are both super strong physically.  

I’ve been working from home the last couple months (due to Covid-19) so they get lots of attention and exercise.  We are so glad we made the decision to get a poodle.  We appreciate all you did to help us with our decision.  Lilly makes beautiful puppies.  I’m not the best photographer but I’ve attached some of our favorites.  It’s still hard to get a good picture because they won’t sit still. 

Thank your kids again for helping to create such loving dogs. We get lots of compliments and questions from others when we are out. Most people say they have never seen poodles with that color and size. Take care and hope you stay healthy."
