The Welsh Terrier is a
handsome Black & Tan dog; lots of personality and a fun loving
spirit !
Super great family companion,
ideal size for a great companion. Small enough to lift if
needed, but agile enough to jump in the car and very athletic.
Always looking for adventure, like most Terriers, and loves and
adores his family. Welsh Love kids and People in general.
Non Shed Hypo Allergenic, Low Dander
producer. Almost any one with allergies can be safe with this
breed. Coat is easy to brush weekly, and Groom every 6-8 wks.
Grooming options include Natural Teddy Bear Look or more
tailored Terrier Groom. This is accomplished with a 5 F blade on
the body and 10 blade on ears . *Hand stripping is not needed
unless you are actively showing. Taking a photo to your groomer
will greatly help and getting a groomer with Terrier experience
is a must as well.
Welsh are active, happy dogs. They do best
in a home with fenced yard, however if you live in an apartment
and are willing to walk for exercise, that's fine too! They love
to travel and go for car rides, happiest when a companion that
goes everywhere the family goes!
Welsh Terriers are very intelligent and
can be taught almost anything, however they do have a somewhat
stubborn side and can be strong willed. Firm assertive training
and being constant in leadership role is needed. They are a
wonderful breed, but must know you are the pack leader, or they
will accept the role , and take over the household !
Welsh Terriers love to chase varmint,
squirrels and rabbits, and love the smells and sounds of
outdoors. If you have a fenced enclosure or a safe acreage, then
you can allow to be free. However if in the city, a leash at all
times is needed. Impulsive excitement can cause them to dart off
after a chase or smell and this can be dangerous.
Non Shed & Hypo
Allergenic are extreme plus also! Grooming varies
from every 6 -12 wks, depending on the look you prefer. Tailored
and Sharp show look, or Scruffy Natural look. Weekly brushing
and a monthly bath with gentle shampoo is all they need to stay
in good condition. Striping the coat can be done, and is
required in showing to keep the coat the correct texture and
retain color clarity. In pets, clippers are used to create the
same look with correct blade choices. My favorites are 5 for
body 10 for ears.
K -9 Social Skill &
Interaction is very much necessary after you take a puppy home.
Do NOT isolate the puppy from other dogs. It needs interaction
to remain in tune with K9 connection. Terriers who are
isolated and live only with people, forget how to be Dog
Friendly. Do your part, find Playmates that are good disposition
and all sizes; good nature is a must. This insures that your
terrier will always look forward to play and interacting with
other dogs, rather than being a bully or aggressive towards
other dogs. Most important time 2-12 months. Puppy
Kindergarten is recommended at 16 wks. This is the ideal age for
learning and doing things your way. Six months plus is the
teenager stage and sometimes a little more independent and head
strong. I recommend Ceasar Milan CD Dog Whisperer to get in tune
to the “Leader of the Pack” method of training , because
Terriers can be head strong and somewhat stubborn. The key to
success is being the Leader and starting young with the process.
Ceasar's theory and skills with body language is key to success.
Have fun in Training and your dog will enjoy and excel.
Male or Female debate is
the most asked question I get. In my experience one is not
better than another. Its like our kids, no two are quite alike,
each has individual traits and quirks that make him Unique. Sex
is not responsible for smarter, sweeter or easier to train.
Neutering & Spaying is best for any pet. So choose the puppy NOT
the sex.
Mature size will be 20-24
lbs; males being slightly larger.

Remington
Hi Joy -
Meet Remington. We call him Remi for short. He's coming
up on 12 months old and weighed in at 21.7 lbs at his
last vet visit. Remi has been a great addition and lots
of laughs for us. He's stocky with broad shoulders,
loves to fetch and is filled with character. His
favorite toys are empty milk and juice jugs which he
proudly runs around the yard with. Remi is curious dog
and will often stop temporarily while fetching to
intently listen to a new and unique sound. Very little
scares him and he will walk up to noisy shop tool, yet
he darts 20 feet away if I sneeze.
Remi loves a variety of fruits and vegetables, yet he is
fussy. If a piece of banana is too ripe, he won't eat
it. Sometimes he covers his food bowl if he is not
hungry. That was a surprise to see.
He is more settled in the last few months and has become
very attached to Joanne and myself. Remi is finally
sleeping next to our feet or our chair. Joanne says he
will wine if I go out and leave him in the house. Well -
he does the same when she goes out. He likes to ride in
the vehicles and the RV, and visit new places. He knows
when we are home and doesn't want to get out. Remi has
hiked with us in several state and national parks in
Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. He likes to meet other
people, dogs and is especially good with little kids. We
walk about 15-16 blocks every day.
Remi is very quiet and seldom barks. However he will let
you know if he senses something strange around the
house, especially after dark. He would like to be
friends with the cat, but the cat is old and doesn't
want to play.
He is a great pet and companion.
I have attached a variety of pictures - Thanks Joy! You
made a great selection for us!

Baxter
Hey Joy,
This is Nathan and Jennifer Gambill of Troutman. NC. It
has been a long time since we last spoke (around Sept
8th to be exact --- the day Baxter flew to NC). When he
was a pup, you had named him Evon (we call him Baxter).
Just wanted to check in and give you an update on
Baxter.
First, let me say the experience working with you back
in the Fall was a real pleasure. It is always scary to
purchase something expensive over the Internet,
especially one of God's living creatures, but you made
everything as smooth as possible. I deeply appreciate
how well the initial contacts went as well as the puppy
selection, the initial payment, the plane reservations,
the flight itself, and the health of Baxter upon arrival
here in NC. Baxter continues to thrive with us and we
couldn't be happier.
Baxter is a male Irish Terrier born June 30th 2017 in
your care. He is now about 7 and 1/2 months old and
weighs 37lbs. at this time. He has always been
rambunctious from day one and I love to wrestle around
with him as well as my wife and 2 teenage boys. He likes
to chew everything no matter what it is so taking your
advice about having many available chew toys and a big
variety of them around the house was great advice.
House training, the worst part of any puppy experience,
took a good 4 months of either crating during down time
or keeping on a short 6-8ft leash in the family room
during play time and letting him out constantly (like
every 30 minutes). This was the tough times so we are
glad these bad days are behind us :-) . He has it all
down pretty good now with almost zero accidents in the
last 30 days.
I have taken Baxter to the vet several times so I'm
pretty sure he is up on all his shots and is in a
healthy condition. We plan to have him groomed for the
first time this coming week. Thus far we have just used
a razor comb and hand-mit brush to comb him out once a
week or so.
Here are the things that I read about Irish Terriers and
that I have now experienced personally that really
amazed me or I found interesting:
- They present a "tough-as-nails" demeanor, and don't
respect weak personalities (you better come prepared to
rough-house or you just need not show-up). But once
their energy is down a few levels at the end of the day,
they can present the most kind, loving demeanor of any
dog out there.
- Their energy abounds and they don't back down from
challenges (they desire to win every battle so hot-heads
will not do well with this dog bread). I believe this
dog would be a disaster for anyone who is not willing to
exercise them at least one to two hours a day, or
willing to train them to use the treadmill for one hour
a day. This is definitely a NO high-rise apartment
bread, and definitely not for elderly or non-active
couples. Also, I feel they are a little too rambunctious
for babies so under 2 years old, but could be ok if the
child was kept off the floor when the dog was feeling
energetic and playful. Also you should be prepared to
play and rough-house with the dog a couple of times a
day for 10-15 mins. a session as they love this.
- We have a small fox terrier named Riley that is about
11 years old and about 9 lbs. Baxter (Irish Terrier)
tried to dominate Riley (Small Fox Terrier) from "day
one" when he arrived. This domination mainly consisted
of stealing toys, stealing snacks, pouncing at him in a
playful way, standing directly over him, or pushing his
body into him pinning him against the couch.
Fortunately, none of the domination was done in a mean
spirited or violent way, and now, even though the
domination continues, my fox terrier just kind of
accepts and ignores it, although he will standup to
Baxter if he gets real angry. Baxter seems to accept the
nips at his face as justified punishment for his
dominating tricks, so it all works out in a non-violent
way. We love to watch Baxter try to share a toy with
Riley and play tug-of-war, which usually happens at
least once a day. So based on this, I would say Irish
Terriers can get along with probably most all dogs
unless the other dog has major insecurity issues.
- Irish Terriers are very rugged outdoor dogs. I love
that Irish Terriers are built for the outdoors and for
rough-and-tumble activities. The couple of times I have
taken Baxter to the woods for extended hikes over
several hours (I live beside a state park), he seem to
come alive more than ever, feeling perfectly adapted in
the rough wooded terrain. I am so looking forward to my
first overnight hiking/camping trip with Riley that I
will be going on Feb 23rd. He has the Ruff Gear backpack
(size small) and is use to carry about 10% of his body
weight (I put it on him on all our daily walks and he
feels perfectly happy with it).
In summary, I cant be happier with my decision to get
Baxter. He is a great dog and a close friend. Thanks so
much Joy for making this happen. I had looked around for
a Irish Terrier pup for about 6-9 months before I
contacted you and you said you had some pups available.
I would warn anyone looking for an Irish Terrier that
you have to be patient as this search process can take a
long time to first find a legitimate reputable breeder,
and then get validation that the breeder has a pup
available for sale.
Thanks again Joy for making the whole experience
smooth!!!
Sincerely,
Nathan & Jennifer Gambill

Dear Joy,
We appreciated receiving the pedigree information for
our Welsh Terrier puppy which you mailed us.
Everyone in the family (adults, grandkids, dogs and
cats) loves puppy Abigail (Abbi)! She has attended puppy
socialization sessions and recently started obedience
classes. At this point, she is much better at
socialization than obedience! During the past 4 months,
Abbi has visited the Gulf Coast in Alabama, St. Louis,
and Kansas City!
As you can tell from the attached recent photographs,
Abbi is a friendly and curious 6 month old puppy!
Many thanks to you and your staff,

Hello,
I adopted a girl Welsh Terrier from a litter of 3 over two years ago
that was born on February 2015. I named my little girl Reese, and my
family and I call her Reesey Piece or Reesey Pup.
She is healthy, loves to go on long walks with my parents and I, and is
the sweetest furchild that I could have asked for. I don't know if you
have Instagram or not, but I made one for Reese and you can follow her
if you want. Her name is @ReeseTheWelshie
I have attached some photos of her that are also on her page.
The Irish terrier is her fur-cousin/ my sister's dog, Molly, which is
basically Reese's big sister and protector. The picture of her with the
cake was her first birthday right before her first haircut--I have made
her a homemade cake for both birthdays and plan to continue that
tradition.
Thank you again for giving me the first love of my life.

Hi Joy!
We got your letter in the mail on Monday. Thank
you!
Wilson is getting bigger and is growing fast! He
weighed in at 9.3 pounds at the vet on Saturday. He was
just 3 pounds when we got him. He is doing great.
He is learning to sit, lay, stand, and we are working on
walking on a leash. Kind of a picky eater, won't eat dry
food without cottage cheese, shredded chicken or
scrambled egg. We don't mind as we know he's getting
good protein.
He is very energetic, loves playing fetch with
his ball, and loves to play with other puppies. He will
show love to anyone that walks in the door and he
especially likes kids. We take him to puppy school on
Mondays and he would much rather play than learn. So we
have a lot of homework! He has brought such joy to
Michael and me, we are so happy!
Here are some pictures of him. I'm not sure what
forms of social media you or your family use but Wilson
does have an Instagram account that we post pictures to.

First I must say “thank you”. I had no idea how
truly sad I was over missing my “Molly” until Kelly
showed up with “Bailey”. I was totally and
thoroughly surprised. We had not completely
decided that we would actually get another dog.
But I am sure glad that Kelly made the decision to get
her.
Bailey is such a cool puppy with a mind and
determination all of her own! Since her arrival
there has not been a dull moment. All of the
traits that a “welshie” is supposed to have she
definitely does.

Hi Joy,
Thought that you'd be interested in how Dylan is
doing now that he is two years old. He has become
a great companion for my wife and me and provides a lot
entertainment and fun for us (and he has fun, too).
The following are a couple of photos from one of the
terrier races he competed in at the Missouri Earth Dog
Memorial Day Bash, he's the one with the orange muzzle
and yellow collar. He was racing against several
border terriers and a westie. In the race in the
pictures he finished 2nd, but he also had a couple of
first place finishes in earlier races. The Bash
event attracts mostly Jack Russel's but I had several
Jack owners ask me where we got Dylan because they
wanted to have an energetic terrier that is not so
"out-of-control" like a lot of Jacks tend to be. I
passed on your kennel's name to them.

Hello Joy!
I am forwarding to you a new picture of Gracie Mae who
is cuddling with her best friend Kelso, our 80 lb.
Yellow Lab. ( He is actually white). Gracie Mae is about
18 weeks old now, I think. What a "Tazmanian Devil" is
she!!!!!!!!!!
So much fun! And although she terrorizes Kelso, he is so
good to her. He has never even growled at her when she
is playing very rough with him! And she sure has made
him yelp in pain a few times!
We are having a great time with her. Many times she
actually looks just like a stuffed-toy- animal! She is
doing great sleeping in her crate. Thanks for telling us
how to crate train her. She sleeps all through the night
in it and takes a couple 2 hour naps each day in it as
well. Kelso is grateful for that too!!!!!!!!!!! She has
added much fun and love to our home since our Black Lab
"Tobie" passed on.
God Bless you!

Hi Joy,
Wanted to give you an update. Last year I had emailed you telling you about how our first child was stillborn just 10 days before his due date. We bought a welsh terrier from you soon after and named her Siena. We were so distraught over the loss of our child and thought a puppy would be a good distraction for us.Since Caleb's passing we have welcomed his little sister, Abigail. She is now almost a year old! Her and Siena have become best friends. We still consider Siena "Caleb's puppy" since we got her in honor of him. Siena has helped us heal so much and now we are thrilled to share her with Abigail. Thought this would be a cute picture for the website! Thank you-we love our welsh terrier!

Another month has passed
and I recommend your business to any and all interested
parties. Bacon continues to do wonderfully. My son and
Bacon have developed a very special bond which is far
more than I could have wished for when we decided to add
him to our family. Our home has had laughter we haven't
had in years because of him and again I thank you for
making our family complete. We never knew what element
was missing until he came into our lives. He also
continues to have odd nicknames. He is still Bacon, but
he is also The Bits, Bacon Bits, Chewbaca, "the terror",
Baconator, and "the Little Evil" depending on what
antics or mischief he has gotten up to that day. He is
most definitely a people person too and a neighborhood
favorite. A lot of the neighbors have changed up their
walking routes so that they can walk their dogs over
this way to say hi to him.
He has settled into our
home so wonderfully that I am glad that we choose him
over the other dogs we were looking at. I have included
a picture of him here alone and one with Jack.
Thanks again for
everything!

Hi,
Thought that you'd like to know how Dylan is doing now
that he is a year and 2 months old. I get stopped by
people all the time who think he's an outstanding
looking Welsh terrier (or Airedale puppy!) and want to
know if he is for sale, which he definitely isn't. He's
extremely good-natured and gets along well with other
dogs and people. We've been taking him to the Missouri
Earthdog fun days at Purina Farms near St. Louis. He
really likes the 'go to ground' event. Once he found
out that there's a rat (in a cage) at the end of the
tunnels he shows no hesitation in going into them. He
also holds his own pretty well in the terrier races.
All in all, we are very pleased with him, he is giving
us a lot of fun and enjoyment. Much thanks.
Regards,
Allan and Dona Halfar
We

Hi
Joy, We purchased
a Welsh Terrier puppy from you last May. Her name was
Ginger when we got her, but we call her Siena now. I
wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A
month before we bought Siena my husband and I lost our
first child, Caleb. We had a completely normal pregnancy
with no complications and 10 days before his due date I
went to a routine appointment only to learn that his
heart had stopped beating and he was not alive. The
shock of learning that we weren't bringing our baby home
with us and instead picking out a coffin for him was
very traumatic. While we were in the hospital delivering
Caleb, I asked my husband if we could get a puppy. He
said after everything we had been through we could get 2
if I wanted! So one month
after burying our baby we drove and picked up Siena. She
has brought so much joy and love into our lives. She
cries with us and is so clued into our emotions. She
reminds us that there is still joy in the world every
time she brings us another toy and wants to play. Practically,
she helped get us out of the house when I am sure I
would have stayed shut it. We take her to family
gatherings and she helps break the awkwardness that
would be there. We love her so much and we say all the
time that she is Caleb's puppy. In a way, she is a
living memorial in remembrance of our son. Siena came
into our lives when many people would not come near
because of our tragedy. She has stayed with us in our
loneliness and comforted us in our dark moments. We are now
pregnant again with Caleb's little sister, Abigail. She
is due March 4th and we are excited to bring her home to
Siena. Thank you so much for the wonderful dog you gave
us just when we thought life was over. Attached is a
picture of her and I and one by herself. Thank you!

Hello! Just wanted to give
you an update on Trixie (formerly known as Jade).
What a delightful addition to
our family she has been. I don't think her tail has
stopped wagging since she came in the house! She is
eating and drinking well, bathroom habits are good (only
one accident in the house!), and she slept in her crate
last night from 10:30-4:30. She is getting to know how
cats work and handles our huge cat nicely. We are so
impressed with her demeanor and personality. We look
forward to many years with her as a member of our
family!
We will keep you posted on
her progress. Thank you for sharing her with us!

All from Thomas Terriers... we are so PROUD!!!
Dear Ms. Thomas,
In
1997 (after years of begging my parents for a
dog), my family bought a wire fox terrier puppy
from you. We named him Bennett and I cannot even
begin to tell you how much he means to my
family. Bennett is 14 years old now and besides
his eyes and ears starting to go, he is healthy
and energetic. I have attached some pictures of
him.
Now I am 23, graduating college, and moving to
Kansas City, MO for my job. I cannot take
Bennett with me so I was hoping to get my own
puppies. I am hoping to get two and I was
wondering if it was possible to get both a wire
fox terrier and a welsh terrier.
Hi Joy,
All is very well here. He's eaten a
few times today already, little bits here
and there. He's gone potty outside every
time after waking from his naps and even had
a bowl movement.
He's great with the boys, loves
their energy level and even socialized today
with the neighbor, 9 month-old Japanese
Chin!
So far an absolute angel of a dog!
I can't stop looking at him and thinking how
cute he's going to be as an adult too.
I will try and give you some other
updates as time progresses and/or hit you up
with any questions I have.
Thanks again for a wonderful puppy!

Hi Joy! Just wanted to let
you know Henry is working out wonderfully with our
family! He enjoyed a walk the other day at a local state
park. (as far as he could go that is before my husband
had to carry him..lol). He has his vet apt. on Friday
for his next set of shots! I think he's grown already!
Thank you so much for our
"addition"..

Hi Joy
We got back yesterday from a weeks vacation
in Maine on the ocean. Willow went in the ocean. At
first she was afraid of the waves but she enjoyed
being in the water. I am enclosing a couple of
photos. The 1st is her sitting in a chair
sunbathing. The 2nd is her taking a nap in our
camper. She is doing great and now weighs about 8
pounds.

Guess who discovered
my fish pond!! His name is now Max and is slowly
learning how to live with us. Very slow in the potty
training but we love him anyway. He's very loving
and wants to see us at all times which can be a
little hard sometimes. Thanks for everything, Joy,
you went above and beyond to get him here and we
appreciate it,

Joy,
Just thought we would send
you a picture of Brandy, she just turned a year old.
We absolutely love her, she
is a sweet loveable dog, full of energy - we think she
sneaks jumping beans for breakfast (she almost jumps on
the counter)...
We had her spay and all went
well. Every time we look at her we can't help but
smile..
Thanks for breeding such a
wonderful dog... Hope all is well with you.

Joy and
Lowell,
Thank you so
much for helping bring Daisi to our
family!!! Our kids were VERY excited
and just Love her!!! She is doing very
well and just a good puppy!!!
She is eating and sleeping, peeing and
pooping, just like a little puppy should.
She is very active and seems to really be
happy! Thank you so much for the tips
with her training, she is responding very
well to the schedule. We never thought
you could give a puppy apples and carrots
for treats! J
She is scheduled to see the Vet next week.
We have attached a photo with our children!
Our oldest is in college so we even have him
on the phone! J
Thank you
again,

Hi Joy! Linda Page here, daughter of Joe
and Jean Leeah in El Paso who got Ozzie a little
over 2 years ago from you! Dad asked me to email
and send a picture - he had lost your email. He
wants to share other pictures with you. Joy,
that wild little welsh terrier has added so much
excitement and joy to my parents lives that I know
the good Lord had his hand in this whole
adventure!! He is the center of their lives and the
3 of them communicate with each other in a
remarkable way! Ozzie is super intelligent and
understands pretty much everything they say and do -
they talk to him just like they do to me!!
Dad has just about lost all of his sight now
and so life is more difficult in many ways but he is
healthy and will have a knee replaced in March so he
can get back to his golf, etc! He has dear friends
who line him up and tell him where to aim his shots!
We all worried whether getting a puppy at Mom &
Dad's age was the right thing to do.....but my Dad
had no doubts and it has turned out to be so much
the right decision!
Thank you so much for your part in all of
this!
Hope you and your family and dogs are
doing well.
Linda Page
Joy,
This is Joe and
Amy Lawrence, just to let you know how well the puppy has worked
out for us. The first several weeks were probably just as much
an adjustment for her, as it was for us. Remember, we haven't
had a dog in the house in 20 years. But, what a change a month
has made. Her name is Claire and she is sooo smart. She learns
just about anything the first few tries. She will sit, lay down,
retrieve a ball and return it, and even rings the bell by the
door to go out and do her business. She's still a little hyper
at times, but that seems to get better on a daily basis. Puppy
school was also a challenge at first, but is getting better. She
isn't afraid of anything! Anyhow, thanks for Claire. She's
increasingly becoming a part of the family now. Here's a recent
picture of her.
Cheers Joe and Amy
Hello Joy,
I just wanted to write a note on Fozzie's first birthday to let
you know how we're doing. Fozzie has been a wonderful addition
to the family—he's such a good boy, very trainable, and so much
fun. He lives to play fetch, chew bully sticks, socialize, and
lay in the sun, and he's been very gentle toward the new baby
(and everyone else). He has a little naughty streak in him and
enjoys being chased around and getting into trouble. He's
incredibly intelligent, loving, and unbelievably strong and
muscular. He needs (and gets) a lot of exercise.
We love him very much, and we're so glad we got him. Thank you
for our wonderful dog. Recent photo attached.
Best regards,

Hi Joy,
Keegan is doing very well. Luckily I was not feeding him
any of the dog foods that have been recalled...
...Keegan went for his first day of puppy school today
which went as well as can be expected. Although he has
been socializing with the Sheltie next door and with
other dogs we meet along our daily walks, he was able to
play with a lot of other puppies today. There were
various dogs from a Black Labrador, Pug, Black & White
Pekingese, a couple of Shepherd mixes and a Soft-Coated
Wheaten Terrier. Keegan met his match with the Wheaton
Terrier. They both played a lot and had a good time.
Very Truly Yours,
Steve
Attached pics of my niece,
Jayden and her first day with the puppy. She is doing
very well, she's an ornery little thing and likes to get
into everything! She's quite amusing though and my mom
cant get enough of her. My other dog has taken to her
quite well... They get into it every now and then. I
think they might be trying to figure out who's boss.
They both seem to want to be the boss...
...Hope you enjoy the pics.. everyone loves her!
This is Lucy with the boys
at 5 1/2 months... She has gotten the potty stuff down,
but we are still working on the manners. She is a
stubborn little girl. I will send you more
pictures soon.

Joy: Long
time.
I was speaking with a neighbor of ours the other day who
sees Jo and I walking Mac and said she might call me to
find out about your kennel. That prompted me to look for
our correspondence about dogs almost 2 years ago. I
found it and the pictures you sent me and thought I
ought to send you some early and current ones of Mac.
The first picture here is of Jo and Mac in our backyard.
The second is him in his winter wonderland last winter
in Michigan. The third one we used as a Christmas card
last year. The fourth of Mac and Dolce' at Mackinac
Island last fall. This is the woman and dog responsible
for Jo's fear going away. While Dolce' chased Jo out of
their store the first time they met, he and Mac are
buddies now, and his folks good friends. All because of
the dogs.
We just love him so much and he has been everything you
said he would be. He is the child Jo never had. She is
very protective.
Thank you so much. I will be in touch when I hear again
from our neighbor. Saw the pictures of the new welsh's.
Too cute.
Mike
Joy, I am
sending you a picture of Megan and Rupert having their
Saturday Morning Breakfast. I don’t know if you remember
me, but we purchased Megan from you 2years ago last Feb.
after her brother pup died. Then your next litter (Ruppie’s)
we purchased Rupert. They are so much fun and we adore
them! And of course they’re both very spoiled and we
like them that way. Rupert rules the house and Megan
teases him often. Thank you so much for these bundles of
JOY!
